Career
Early years
Annand began his career with Partick Thistle, where he played one game before securing a loan move to Sligo Rovers. the move was made permanent prior to the 1993–94 season. Annand scored the winning goal which sealed the 1993–94 League of Ireland First Division title and also the winner in the FAI Cup semi final. In the final he provided the corner kick which won the FAI Cup at Lansdowne Road in May 1994.[2] This secured Sligo's qualification for the 1994–95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup where, after beating Floriana F.C., Annand made two appearances against Club Brugge K.V.
In 1995 he returned to Scotland to play with Clyde where he enjoyed the best goalscoring form of his career, scoring 42 goals in 64 league matches. He then moved to Dundee in 1997, making nearly 100 league appearances and winning the Scottish First Division title. He moved to Ayr United in 2000 and spent three years with the Honest Men, which included scoring the only goal, a penalty in extra-time, in the 2002 Scottish League Cup semi-final against Hibs at Hampden.
including a short loan spell with Morton, Annand moved to St Mirren for a year's spell. In 2004, Annand moved to Dumbarton and part-time football, and spent the latter part of 2005 with Raith Rovers, where he finished his senior career. In January 2006, Annand moved into junior football with Lochee United but quickly moved to Bathgate Thistle. After a spell out of the game, Annand came out of retirement to join Arthurlie in November 2007 and retired the next year.
Off the pitch, Annand ran a car hire firm, set up during his time at Bathgate.[3]
