Thomas McGrain (born 31 January 1959) is a Scottish retired footballer who played as a midfielder. He is the younger brother of Danny McGrain, one of Celtic's most lauded players.
McGrain was initially signed up on an 'S' form by Celtic. After a couple of seasons on loan in the Junior ranks with Maryhill (where Danny had also played)[2] and Duntocher Hibs, he was released by Celtic and signed for Partick Thistle,[3] managed by former Hoops star Bertie Auld. He was also unable to break into the first team at the Jags[4] and moved to the Republic of Ireland, initially to Galway Rovers where another former Celtic man Tommy Callaghan had become player-manager.[5]
In 1979, McGrain returned to Scotland and joined Dumbarton,[6] [7] playing for two seasons in the Scottish First Division. In 1980, he scored league goals against Heart of Midlothian and St Johnstone.[8] In 1981, he left the Sons and reverted to the Junior grade with Pollok.[9]
