Career

Born in Glasgow, McQuilken began his career with Celtic and made five league appearances for the club. He moved to Dundee United in November 1995, making his début as a substitute in the 1995 Scottish Challenge Cup Final defeat to Stenhousemuir. The following month, McQuilken made his first start as United recorded their biggest win of the season, beating Dumbarton 8–0 at Tannadice. Used as both a left-back and left midfielder, McQuilken featured fourteen times that season, including both legs of the playoff win over Partick Thistle. The following season, McQuilken was deployed as a left-back for the first six matches before being confined mainly to the bench. Featuring a handful of times more, he played his last game in October 1996 before joining Hibernian in January 1997. Featuring in ten of Hibs' remaining matches that season, McQuilken moved to Falkirk at the start of the 1997–98 season.

At Falkirk, McQuilken became a regular, playing in the majority of matches each season and playing most of the club's title-winning season in 2002–03. McQuilken moved on to Aberdeen in June 2003[2] but was made available for transfer in January 2004[3] and within days, McQuilken moved to St Johnstone.[4] At the start of the 2004–05 season, he moved to Gretna on a six-month loan deal[5] which was subsequently made permanent.

After suffering a heart scare in September 2006,[6] McQuilken moved to Dumfries club Queen of the South in January 2007.[7] He played in the club's first ever run to Scottish Cup final in 2008 and in the subsequent UEFA Cup games in the following season.[8] Shortly afterwards, McQuilken agreed a new one-year contract with The Doonhamers.[9] On 8 December 2009 Queens announced McQuilken would be leaving the club in January to start a new career in the Police.[10] Before the 2011–12 season, McQuilken joined junior club Cambuslang Rangers.

gollark: Wow, it seems like this application is just using XML as a really poor and inefficient JSON substitute.
gollark: I'm not actually old enough to vote, and in any case the only party which appears to actually care about this is the Liberal Democrats, who are not doing well in Parliament.
gollark: Yes. Democracy in action.
gollark: I complained to my MP when the government did some particularly egregious thing... complaining about end to end encryption on the news again, or something... and got a response back... from some random minister... by letter... two weeks later... which did not address anything I said and was related only in that my email and their response were both vaguely about encryption.
gollark: Er, act. Not bill.
