 McMillan's career began at Rangers where his career development was documented on the television documentary Blue Heaven, a BBC Scotland programme following the lives of young footballers at Rangers, and went on to captain Rangers reserve team. McMillan made two first team appearances for Rangers but failed to secure a regular starting place; the majority of his time at the club was spent on loan at Hamilton Academical, Queen of the South and Wrexham. McMillan left Rangers in 2013 to join fellow Scottish Premier League side Dunfermline Athletic. He was made redundant the following season after the club entered administration. In March 2013, McMillan joined Scottish First Division side Partick Thistle and became part of their title-winning team. He was released from his contract in February 2015, following a failed drugs test, and was subsequently banned from all competitive sport for two years. McMillan returned to football in 2017, signing a short-term contract with Clyde, before spending time with Cambuslang Rangers, Edusport Academy and Dumbarton. Defender Jordan joined Lok on loan from Dumbarton in December 2019, returning to the Sons at the end of January 2020, at which point he was released and became a free agent. He signed for Lok in February 2020 on a deal that ran through until the end of the season at which point he departed Newlandsfield. Jordan then rejoined Lok for the 20-21 season in July 2020 but emigrated to Canada while the club was inactive in 20-21. There he joined Oakville – Blue Devils FC in a coaching capacity. His main role was as Head Coach of the club’s reserve team, together with a year-round focus on developing players from within the academy to progress through the ranks. Following his return to Scotland, Jordan played in the 6th tier with Benburb in the West of Scotland Premier League in season 2023-24. |
