During his Clyde career, he played for the club in the 1912 Scottish Cup Final and represented the Scottish League three times.[1] He served in the First World War as an army lieutenant and was held as a prisoner of war.[2]
After a spell as caretaker player-manager while with Dundee Hibs, McAndrew got his first permanent appointment as a manager with Hamilton Academical in 1925. He remained in the role for 21 years, taking the club to the 1935 Scottish Cup Final as well as a fourth place League finish in the same season. He briefly managed Dunfermline Athletic in 1947.[2]
