Spittal started his senior football journey with Queen's Park in July 2012, a team that competes in the Scottish Championship.

The following term, Spittal's influence increased significantly as he amassed 36 appearances and found the back of the net on eight occasions.
In July 2014, Spittal took a step up in Scottish football and moved from Queen's Park to Dundee United that play in the Premiership. From 2014 to 2017, he racked up a respectable 82 appearances and scored nine goals for the side, illustrating his ability to thrive amidst stiffer competition.
