He was also involved in the inaugural experiments for the use of additional referees behind the goal, operating at one of the initial experiment tournaments in Cyprus in 2009 and in the 2009/2010 Europa League experiments where he refereed several group matches.McDonald refereed at the inaugural UEFA Regions Cup Final tournament in Venice in 1999 where he was Fourth Official at the Final; at the UEFA U16 Championship Finals in Israel in 2000; and at the UEFA U19 Championship Finals in Switzerland in 2004.McDonald was the referee at the famous win by Inverness Caledonian Thistle over Celtic in the Scottish Cup in 2002 which prompted the renowned headline in The Sun - "Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic are Atrocious". McDonald was warned by the Scottish Football Association for failing to clearly explain a correct decision in a match played between Dundee United and Celtic in October 2010. Subsequent to the match, McDonald admitted that he had not correctly informed the match observer about how the decision had been changed. McDonald was censured by the SFA Referee Committee but continued as a top flight referee. Although many suspected that the fallout over the incident eventually led to the first ever Scottish football referee strike, on 27 November 2010, in fact it was the abuse targeted at William Collum and other referees after subsequent matches, plus a growing feeling of a lack of support from the SFA Disciplinary and General Purposes Committees, that led to the strike. McDonald retired with immediate effect the day after the strike as media pressure on him became unwarranted.Since 2013 McDonald has been operating as a Referee Development Advisor in Youth and Junior football.McDonald is a transport planner by profession.".
