Early and personal life

Club career
[edit | edit source]Born in Edinburgh, McCann played youth football with Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale, Heart of Midlothian and Fife Elite Football Academy, before signing his first professional contract with Dunfermline Athletic in May 2018.[4] His first appearance for the side came in July 2018 as a second-half substitute in a Scottish League Cup game against Peterhead.[5] In January 2022, McCann signed a contract extension until May 2024.

International career
