MacFarlane began his career with Ayr United Boys Club before joining Rangers. Whilst at Ibrox he made seven league appearances and picked up a winner's medal in October 1986 when he came on as a second-half substitute in Rangers 2-1 win over Celtic in the Scottish League Cup Final.[2] MacFarlane also had loan spells with Kilmarnock and Dundee, before joining the former on a permanent basis in 1988.[3] He spent nearly two seasons at Rugby Park.

A brief spell with Partick Thistle followed before MacFarlane moved to the junior leagues to Glenafton Athletic, who were managed by Scottish former international goalkeeper Alan Rough.[4] He became a regular pick for the junior side and played in three consecutive Scottish Junior Cup finals,[4] winning the trophy in 1992.
