Thomas B. McInally had trials with Rangers in 1918-19 before joining Celtic in May 1919. In September 1922 he joined Third Lanark but returned to Celtic on 12th May 1925 before once more moving on, this time to Sunderland, in May 1928. By all accounts McInally was a very gifted and intelligent player during his two stints with Celtic. However, he appeared to be unable to commit himself in any great way and he was accused on several occasions as being " a first-half man" and a "lazy prima donna". He walked-out on the club on the eve of an important Scottish Cup tie against Motherwell in March 1928 but returned on April 7th. Sunderland bought him in May of 1928 and had high expectations of him, even going to the lengths of making him captain to try and encourage the undoubted skill he had to be used in a constuctive way. In November 1929 he was transferred to Bournemouth and thereafter there were periods with Morton, Derry City, Armadale and Nithsdale Wanderers before becoming a Celtic scout in January 1948. He had a phenomenal goal scoring record whilst with Celtic, scoring 111 goals from 188 League appearance and 16 goals from 25 Cup appearances. McInally died in Paisley on September 9th 1955.
