Originally hailing from the Darvel area, he was described as a strong and skilful midfielder although his Thistle appearances (bar one when he came on for Bobby Law in a league match vs Q.O.S.) were confined to the reserves in 1986-87. Brian was a junior internationalist. Post-Thistle, he signed for Davie McDermott's Shettleston before Vince Kerr took him to Rutherglen Glencairn in October 1993, when he was described as a 27-year-old. He moved on to Cambuslang Rangers for 1994-95.
