McDougall began his career playing locally for

without making a first team appearance, instead spending the season at
Partick Thistle
, playing all 18 games in the
Scottish League
Division Two championship winning side of
1899?1900

Following this success, he was recalled by Rangers who then quickly sold him on to
Southern League
side
Bristol City
in the summer of 1900.

He made his debut at outside left in a 0?2 defeat at
Luton Town
on 15 September 1900. He made 11 appearances playing on both right and left wings in season 1900?01, scoring twice, when Bristol City were runners-up in the Southern League. He also played on both wings in 12 Western League games, scoring two goals.

He then joined Distillery on a permanent basis, also playing for fellow
Belfast

In 1910, McDougall was appointed manager of Southern League club
Cardiff City
, also being named club captain. McDougall was the first manager in the team's history as they entered their first campaign in the English football league system. He set about recruiting players from Scotland and the North of England ahead of the season, with eight of the club's 14 professionals being from the regions, including himself.
[10]
He took charge of the team's first match in the Southern League, a 4?1 victory over
Ton Pentre
on 24 September 1910.
[11]
Although he led the side to a fourth-placed finish in his first season, the club decided a full-time manager was needed to progress and relieved McDougall of his managerial role.
[12]
He briefly remained with Cardiff under new manager

before leaving the club.
