However, Celtic manager, David Hay decided that Mo Johnson and Brian McClair would be his preferred forward for the 1985-86 season and chose not to offer a contract extension to McGarvey.
In his final game for Celtic, he scored the winning goal six minutes from the end of the 1985 Scottish Cup Final.
