Career
McCluskey"s first senior club was Airdrie United, after signing from junior side Blantyre Vics. He made his senior debut in the Scottish Football League First Division as a substitute in a 4–0 reverse against Street Johnstone. After release by Airdrie he had a nomadic career in the juniors with Lanark United and Shotts Bon Accord punctuated with a short trial spell with Albion Rovers.
After scoring 24 goals for Shotts, McCluskey rejoined the senior game with a transfer to Clyde, then when manager Jim Duffy moved to Greenock he took McCluskey with him despite interest from East Fife.
After winning the title in 2014-2015, McCluskey was given a one-year contract extension.
