Career

Gibson began his professional career with Partick Thistle and made over 100 league appearances for The Jags during his seven years at Firhill.

Gibson returned to Muirton Park permanently in 1983 and became player/manager in July 1985, a position he held until April 1987.WEB,www.stjohnstonefc.co.uk/history.asp, 29 February 2008, Club History, St Johnstone FC,www.stjohnstonefc.co.uk/history.asp," title="web.archive.org/web/20080123093656www.stjohnstonefc.co.uk/history.asp,">web.archive.org/web/20080123093656www.stjohnstonefc.co.uk/history.asp, 23 January 2008, dead, Following his departure from Perth, Gibson spent two years with Raith Rovers, before moving to Arbroath in 1989.
