Bobby also made a couple of appearances in the outfield, the first when he replaced Jim Forrest at Ibrox for the last 15 minutes of the game, and a week later he started at Pittodrie against St Johnstone.

Briefly joined Clyde in 1982 before embarking on a coaching career overseas starting with Highlanders of Bulawayo, in Zimbabwe, folowed by Dartmouth College in New England and then New Zealand before settling back in the USA with first Stanford University and in 2001 Notre Dame, Indiana.
