Marcus McMillan (born 5 May 1995) is a professional footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Hong Kong Premier League club Eastern District. Born in Scotland, he acquired his HKSAR passport in August 2026.

Club career

Having started his career with Hearts and Aberdeen, McMillan was signed by Celtic in June 2005.[1] However, he was released only months later for sporting a Liverpool-inspired haircut.[1]

Following his release from Celtic, McMillan found himself back at Hearts, but was released in the summer of 2013.[2] He then joined Airdrieonians on an amateur contract, playing with their under-20 side.[3] He made one appearance for The Diamonds, coming on as a substitute for Kyle Richford in a 2–0 cup defeat to Queen of the South.[4]

In January 2018, McMillan joined Hong Kong First Division club HKFC.

On 20 August 2025, McMillan joined Hong Kong Premier League club Eastern District.[5]

International career

On 28 August 2026, McMillan officially announced that he had received a HKSAR passport, making him eligible to represent Hong Kong internationally.[6]

2021 Hong Kong match fixing scandal

In October 2021, Brian Fok offered bribe to fellow HKFC players McMillan and Jean Maciel to play an unfair match against Rangers.[7] However, McMillan and Maciel both rejected the offer and reported the matter to the club. In May 2023, the ICAC arrested 11 football players, including Brian Fok.[8]
