He returned to St Mirren in September 2018, in an advisory role.

MacPherson left Queen's Park on 18 September 2018 to become the St Mirren technical director.

MacPherson was appointed manager of Scottish League Two side Queen's Park in January 2014. He led the "Spiders" to promotion to Scottish League One through the play-offs in his second full season in charge beating Clyde over two legs in the playoff final. The club enjoyed two seasons in the third flight before relegation via play-offs in May 2018.

In June 2011, MacPherson was announced as the new manager of Dumfries club, Queen of the South on a one-year contract. His assistant manager was announced as Andy Millen. MacPherson left the club after they were relegated to the Second Division in April 2012.

In January 2010, after Jim Jefferies left Kilmarnock, MacPherson became the longest serving manager in the SPL. On 11 May 2010, St Mirren announced that they had parted company with MacPherson.

In the 2008–09 season he led St Mirren to a win over Rangers at Love Street with Stephen McGinn netting the only goal of the game. Also in the same season he led St Mirren on a run of four unbeaten games, resulting in him receiving the SPL manager of the month award for December 2008. He also guided them to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, beating Celtic 1–0 in the quarter finals. This result came just a week after a 7–0 defeat at Celtic Park. St Mirren were in a five club relegation battle, but a penultimate weekend win away to Falkirk, almost guaranteed safety. St Mirren stayed in the top flight on goal difference, two goals better off than Inverness.

His management career began at his final playing club St Mirren (initially as a player-manager), who he guided to promotion in 2006. MacPherson has since managed Queen of the South and Queen's Park who he guided to promotion in 2016.

In the 2006–07 season he retained St Mirren's place in the SPL, following a brief relegation fight. In the second last game of the season St Mirren's place in the SPL was confirmed courtesy of a 3–2 win over Motherwell despite having been 2–0 down. This coupled with other results saw one of MacPherson's former clubs, Dunfermline relegated to the First Division.

MacPherson guided St Mirren to second in 2004–05 finishing behind Falkirk. This was a significant improvement for the club having finished seventh the previous season. In the following season MacPherson guided St Mirren back to the Scottish Premier League having finished top of the First Division. He also guided the team to a 2–1 win in the Scottish League Challenge Cup final against Hamilton Academical with Simon Lappin and John Sutton netting the goals, becoming the only St Mirren manager to win a domestic double.

MacPherson was then appointed as player/manager on 18 December 2003 after the resignation of John Coughlin. He retired from playing to concentrate solely on management at the end of the 2003–04 season.

MacPherson left Kilmarnock in 2001 to join Dunfermline Athletic for two seasons before moving to St Mirren as player/assistant manager in 2003.

In 1991, he moved to Kilmarnock, where he would enjoy the most successful period of his career becoming a regular fixture in the Rugby Park first team. He went on to play over 350 games at Kilmarnock and also was in the side that won the Scottish Cup with a 1–0 win over Falkirk at Ibrox Stadium.

In the following season and being continually challenged with budgetary constraints, MacPherson became the first St Mirren manager to be knocked out of both the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Cup by teams from a lower league in the same season. Despite these set-backs he retained St Mirren's SPL status with 10th place in the division. This was St Mirren's highest finish since the 1990–91 season, finishing one place above MacPherson's former club Kilmarnock and relegated Gretna.

Angus Ian MacPherson (born 11 October 1968) is a Scottish football player and manager, who is currently the technical director of St Mirren.
