Career

McLaren, a striker, began his career in 1989 with Dundee United where he remained for 10 years, helping them win the Scottish Cup in 1994. After a loan spell with Livingston in 1999, he left Tannadice for English club Reading in 2000. During his time at Reading, he tested positive for cannabis and cocaine and admitted to alcoholism cite news|url=http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=762712003|publisher=Scotland on Sunday|title=Life's a ball as Hibs target McLaren gets his highs from game by Moria Gordon|date=2003-07-13] .

After spending time in rehabilitation, he returned to football in June 2000 when he was signed for Kilmarnock by the then manager Bobby Williamson. During his time at Rugby Park, he won his only Scotland cap, a substitute appearance in a 1-1 draw against Poland in April 2001 cite news|url=http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/match_details.cfm?matchid=25643|publisher=Scottish FA|title=Poland 1-1 Scotland|date=2001-04-25] .

He left Kilmarnock in August 2003 after falling out of favour at Kilmarnock and returned to Dundee United. He failed to establish himself in the Dundee United team, however, and was subsequently loaned to Partick Thistle and Greenock Morton before joining Morton permanently in 2005. After a season at Cappielow, he joined Dundee in July 2006 cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee/5168730.stm|publisher=BBC Sport website|title=McLaren agrees switch to Dundee|date=2006-07-11] .
