He started the first six weeks of the season 2007–2008 in goal scoring form, having scored five goals in Morton's start to the cup competitions.

McGuffie was announced as having signed a one year contract with hometown club Queen of the South on the club website on 18 May 2010.[4] After playing in Queens' pre season games he scored on his Queens competitive debut, a Challenge Cup first round 2-1 win against Albion Rovers on 24 July 2010, which was Queens first competitive match that season.[5] His first league goal came on 22 August 2010 in the 3-1 win at Cowdenbeath F.C.[6] McGuffie re-signed for Queens on 19 July 2011 for season 2011-12.
