Club career

Aberdeen

Maguire made his debut for Aberdeen on 7 May 2006, coming on as a substitute in their final match of the 2005–06 season, where he set up John Stewart for the equaliser in a 2–2 draw against SPL champions Celtic, his lifelong heroes. His first starting appearance in the senior team was on 26 December against Kilmarnock, where he also scored his first senior goal in the sixth minute.

The following season, Maguire scored some vital goals, including a 94th-minute winner in a thrilling 4–3 match against Inverness CT on 29 March 2008 and a brace in the 2–1 win over Falkirk five days later. On 16 July 2008, Maguire signed a three-year contract extension with the Dons which keeps him at Pittodrie until the summer of 2011.[1]

In February 2009, having been regularly kept out of the starting eleven by first-choice striking pair Darren Mackie and Lee Miller, Maguire requested to go out on loan in search of regular first team football. After this request was promptly turned down, Maguire scored two goals in Aberdeen's 5–0 Scottish Cup victory over East Fife.[2]

Kilmarnock (loan)

During the January transfer window in 2010, Maguire moved on loan to Kilmarnock, reuniting him with former Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood. On his debut against Celtic, he scored the only goal of the game to gave Kilmarnock their first league win in eight games. He scored 4 goals in 14 games to help Kilmarnock stay in the Scottish Premier League.

Derby County

On 1 July 2011, it was announced Maguire would sign for English Championship side Derby County on the expiration of his Aberdeen contract, having agreed a three year deal with Derby.[3] The transfer was formally completed on 29 June when Derby agreed a compensation package with Aberdeen, speculated to be in the region of £400,000.[4] Maguire's first start, and first goal, came on 29 October, in a 3-1 win over Portsmouth.[5] He was subsequently praised for his patience and work ethic by first-team coach Andy Garner, having been kept out of the team by the form of fellow strikers Jamie Ward, Theo Robinson and Steve Davies.[6]

International career

Maguire was a regular member of the Scottish under-21 team. He scored a goal from the halfway line immediately after the restart in the qualifying match for Euro 2011 against Iceland.[7]

In February 2011, Maguire won his first cap for Scotland in a 3-0 win over Northern Ireland in the 2011 Nations Cup in Dublin. [8]

Personal life

In April 2008, Maguire appeared on Soccer AM's Skills School, where two players are picked to demonstrate a variety of skills as they battle against each other in front of their team-mates. Maguire was chosen as the winner over Callum McRobbie. Aberdeen fans call him 'Bebo' after his profile on the social networking site of the same name was allegedly hacked into. In February 2007, Maguire's profile was seen to leave abusive comments on a friend's page about Rangers players, Barry Ferguson and Alan Hutton.[9]
