Rory McAllister (born 13 May 1987 in Aberdeen, Scotland) is a Scottish professional footballer, currently playing for Peterhead in Scottish League One.
Rory McAlister came through the ranks at Aberdeen, but never played for the first team. However, he did play for the reserves on a few occasions.
After being released from Aberdeen's youth set-up, McAllister was given a chance to resurrect his career at Inverness Caledonian Thistle. In three seasons he played in over 50 games, but scored just five goals. He made his league début for Inverness on 30 April 2005, as a second-half substitute against Kilmarnock. His first goal came in a Scottish Cup tie against Ayr United on 7 January 2006.
After failing to build upon his early potential, first team appearances at Inverness became scarce. He was loaned out to Second Division club Peterhead in January 2008. He played four times for the club and scored one goal, in a 9–2 victory against Berwick Rangers.
In April 2008, McAllister signed a new one-year contract with Inverness, however on 24 January 2009, he left the club by mutual consent.
After leaving Inverness, McAllister then signed for Brechin City, scoring a total of 26 goals in his first full season as Brechin lost out in the First Division promotion play-off final against Cowdenbeath. During the 2010–11 season McAllister scored four times in an away match against his old club Peterhead.
