He also played for Norwich City, Burnley, Oldham Athletic and Portland Timbers.
Donachie was born in Glasgow (originally from the Gorbals, he grew up in Castlemilk and attended King's Park Secondary School, but began his football career in England as a junior with Manchester City, turning professional in December 1968. He made his first team debut in February 1970 and replaced Glyn Pardoe at left-back in City's side and quickly established himself as a regular in the side. He won the 1972 FA Charity Shield, played in two League Cup finals for City and went on to make 347 appearances before leaving in 1979 to play for NASL side Portland Timbers. He returned to England in September 1981, joining Norwich City for a fee of £200,000, but rejoined Portland in March 1982. In November the same year he joined Burnley.
In April 1972, he made his full debut for Scotland against Peru at Hampden Park, having previously made two appearances for Scotland's Under-23 side.
Donachie played 35 times for Scotland and was selected in two FIFA World Cup squads (1974 and 1978).
Towards the end of his playing career Donachie became a player-coach at Oldham, working with Joe Royle.
Donachie has since worked for numerous teams in coaching roles.
He went on to win 35 full caps for Scotland and played in the 1978 World Cup finals.
In July 1984, Donachie joined Oldham Athletic where he became player-assistant manager to Joe Royle.
Under Royle and Donachie Oldham enjoyed considerable success at Boundary Park, taking the unfashionable minnows to the Premier League, League Cup Final and epic FA Cup semi-finals against Manchester United in the early 1990s.
When Royle left to manage Everton in 1995, Donachie followed as his assistant.
Donachie then had a stint as first team coach at Sheffield United.
Towards the end of the 1997–98 season he rejoined Royle at Manchester City.

In November 2001 he left City to become assistant to Terry Yorath at Sheffield Wednesday.
He resigned from his post at Hillsborough on 28 October 2002 to link up again with Joe Royle, who by now was manager of Ipswich Town.
Ipswich paid Wednesday £50,000 compensation for this move.
Donachie left Portman Road in June 2006 after Jim Magilton was appointed as manager, this coming after Donachie had stated his interest in the job himself, and joined Millwall as assistant to Nigel Spackman.
He was appointed manager of Millwall on 22 November 2006, after being caretaker manager following Spackman's sacking on 25 September 2006.
Millwall had been in the relegation zone when Spackman left, but Donachie steadied the ship and Millwall finished the 2006–7 season in mid-table.
On 19 March 2007, Donachie signed a two-year deal as manager.

An impressive campaign saw Montserrat qualify for League B of the Nations League and just miss out on Gold Cup qualification.
