Stuart Campbell McCluskey (b. October 29, 1977, Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland) is a Scottish professional football player. He has represented his country, occasionally as captain, at Under-19 and U-21 levels.
McCluskey began his career at St. Johnstone, with whom he progressed through the youth ranks alongside Danny Griffin under the watchful eye of Paul Sturrock. The defender spent a decade at McDiarmid Park, notching up over a century of league appearances along the way.
In 2004 he joined Clyde, then under the guidance of McCluskey's former teammate in Perth, Alan Kernaghan, until the end of the season.[1]
For the 2004/5 season he joined Morton,[2] with whom he played one season, before moving back to Tayside to sign with St. Johnstone's arch-rivals Dundee, again linking up with Kernaghan, who was the new boss at Dens Park.[3]
In April 2006, McCluskey was one of several players released by Dundee. He was reported to be looking to try his hand in Australia,[4] and as of May 2007 is playing for Melbourne-based Richmond SC. He has since become club captain.[5]
