Management career

Moore was appointed manager of Stirling Albion in 2002, succeeding Ray Stewart. At this time, the club was languishing at second bottom of the Third Division. Moore's impact was recognised instantly, and in the 2003–04 season he successfully guided Stirling to promotion to the Second Division.

However, this proved too much for Stirling, as the club were relegated back into the Second Division after just one season. In October 2009, Moore expressed a strong interest in taking the vacant managers position at former club
