McBride returns to the club where it all began for him as he started out in the Warriors in the Community programme before progressing through the Forth Valley Academy.

He is also a graduate of the Scottish FA Performance School at Graeme High and has been capped 12 times for Scotland at Under 17 level.

He signed his first professional contract with Falkirk at the age of 16 before joining Celtic in January 2018.
