Playing career

MacLeod was born in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. He began his career with English club Southampton in 1968, where he played in the reserve team. Returning to Scotland, he signed for Dundee in 1971. His only first team appearance for the club came in a Texaco Cup tie against Norwich City.

Released by Dundee after eighteen months, MacLeod joined Dundee United in April 1973. He made his debut in a Scottish League Cup match against East Fife on 11 August 1973, going on to make 36 appearances over the next two seasons without establishing himself as a regular. His three league goals for the club all came in the same match, against Morton on the final day of the 1973–74 season.[1]

In June 1975, MacLeod was transferred to St Johnstone as part-exchange in United's purchase of Henry Hall.[1] He then joined Brechin City in 1976, where he made 124 league appearances before retiring in 1981.
