It seemed like he was always going to be on a hiding to nothing. Eddie had put in a number of impressive performances at Brockville as an attacking midfielder which obviously had a number of other clubs looking to secure his services, at Fir Park manager Alex McLeish often deployed him out of position playing more or less in a defensive full back position. His commitment was never in question but he was seen as one of the main villains by many fans as Tommy McLean’s exciting attacking side was disassembled by McLeish.
Billy Davies eventually sold him off in August 1999, he joined Dunfermline Athletic. Later in his career he went into management taking the reigns of Falkirk in the SPL during the 2009/10 season but the Bairns struggled which led to Eddies dismissal. After the experience he stated that he wasn’t interested in managing another club again preferring to just stick to coaching roles.
