In 2022, McAllister's contribution to Falkirk was marked with the renaming of the South Stand in his honour. Commenting on the achievement, he said "When I was a kid I just wanted to play for Falkirk as they were my team. Having a stand named after me and all that was never on the agenda. I spoke to a few people, ex-team-mates and managers and they told me what an honour it was so I agreed to it." [6]
