Career

Born in Stirling, McMullan began his career in the under-19 team at Celtic. On 23 January 2015, he joined Scottish League One club Stenhousemuir on loan for the remainder of the season.[1] He made his senior debut the following day, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–1 draw with Ayr United at Ochilview Park, scoring his team's goal.[2] On 14 February, he opened the scoring away to Dunfermline Athletic, who came from behind to defeat Stenhousemuir 3–2.[3] McMullan's only other goal of 14 league appearances came on 11 April in a defeat by the same score at Greenock Morton.[4] Stenhousemuir finished in the relegation play-off places, but stayed up with a 2–1 aggregate victory over Queen's Park: McMullan's free-kick set up Jamie McCormack to head the only goal of the first leg on 13 May,[5] and he also assisted Colin McMenamin in the second leg three days later.[6]

On 13 July 2015, McMullan was loaned to Scottish Championship club St Mirren for the upcoming campaign.[7] He made his debut 12 days later, playing the full 90 minutes of a 3–1 home win over Berwick Rangers in the first round of the Scottish League Challenge Cup.[8] On 7 August, he made his league debut for the team in a defeat by the same score to Rangers at Ibrox.[9] In January 2016, McMullan's loan was ended by Saints, and he returned to Celtic. In total, he played 22 games for the club, scoring once.[10]
