While playing as a centre forward for Airdrie, he finished as the top scorer in Scottish Football League Division One in the 1912–13 and 1913–14 seasons;[4] he converted to an outside right after World War I to accommodate the emerging Hughie Gallacher, and was on the wing in the team that won the Scottish Cup in 1924;[5] the Diamonds were also runners-up in Division One four consecutive times in that period.[6]
Reid was selected three times by the Scottish national team[7] (plus two further unofficial wartime internationals) and also played for the Scottish Football League XI, scoring six times in five appearances[8] (and another in a wartime fundraising match).[9]
