He came through the youth system at St Mirren, and after moving to England to play for Derby County, he returned to St Mirren on loan in January 2019, and on a permanent basis in August 2019. McAllister has also represented Scotlandatunder-17 and under-21 level.
McAllister, who attended Renfrew High School,[5] began his career with Scottish Championship club St Mirren, making his first team debut on 13 February 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in 1–0 defeat against Queen of the South.[6] His first full start for the side came the following week, when the Saints defeated relegation threatened Dumbarton 1–0.[7]
During the 2016–17 season, McAllister made 14 appearances for St Mirren, scoring his first goal in a Scottish Cup match against Lowland League side Spartans,[8] described as "ferocious shot" following a run from his own half.[9][10] After interest from a number of English clubs,[11] he signed for English Championship side Derby County on 27 January 2017 for an undisclosed fee,[12] reported to be £225,000.[13]
In January 2019, having been unable to break through to the first team at Derby with his progress hampered by a groin injury,[13] McAllister returned to St Mirren on loan until the end of the season.[14] Just days later, he marked his return to the club by scoring the winning goal in a 3–2 Scottish Cup win at home to Alloa Athletic,[15] (it was awarded 'goal of the round', as had his debut strike in 2016)[16] and made 14 Scottish Premiership appearances as the club stayed in the division via the relegation playoff.[17][18]
On 9 August 2019, McAllister left Derby and signed a three-year contract with St Mirren.[19][4]
On 31 January 2022, McAllister joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season.[20]
