At representative level, Reid took part in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial[4] and was subsequently selected as a reserve for the Scotland v England international fixture, and was selected for the Glasgow FA's annual challenge match against Sheffield,[5] all taking place in 1922 while he was playing for Third Lanark, but this never led to a full cap.[3][2] He also joined the club's tour of South America in the summer of 1923, scoring against the Argentina national team.[6][7]
