Playing career
Bell played for Cumbernauld Colts, St Mirren (two spells[4]), Aberdeen, Rangers, Hibernian, Shrewsbury Town, Hull City, Birmingham City, Portadown (two spells[5]), Partick Thistle, Clyde, Elgin City, Alloa Athletic, Albion Rovers and Linlithgow Rose.[6] He played twice for Scotland at under-21 level.[7]
During his time with Aberdeen, Bell won the Scottish League three times[8] and the Scottish Cup twice,[9] as well as the European Super Cup in 1983 (missing other trophy wins earlier that year due to injury). In those days, only those on the team-sheet for the final received a medal, but, in April 2023, Bell, manager Alex Ferguson, and four others were retrospectively given winners' medals for the victory in the European Cup Winners' Cup.[10] He was a league champion again with Rangers in 1986–87.[11]
Managerial career
Bell took temporary charge of Clyde in January 2008, after Colin Hendry resigned from his position of manager.[12] Bell was in control of the team for the matches against Dundee and Hamilton Academical. He was sent from the dugout to the stand in both matches,[13] and received a 10-match touchline ban.
Bell took charge of the Clyde reserve team for the 2007–08 campaign,[citation needed] and won the Reserve League Cup.[14] He was promoted to the position of assistant manager in June 2008.[15][16]
