McKinstry's international experience includes coaching Sierra Leone, Rwanda, and Uganda; his appointment follows Gor Mahia's Kenyan league titles.
Former England's Sol Campbell and Ivory Coast's Kolo Toure were among the shortlisted candidates for The Gambia head coach role.
The Gambia's previous coach, Tom Saintfiet, spent six years leading the team, improving their world ranking by 42 places; Scorpions reached quarter-finals and group-stage exits in recent Nations Cup editions.
