James "Jamie" McCluskey (born 6 November 1987) is a Scottish footballer, who plays for Stranraer.
McCluskey, who started his career with Hibernian, set a record for the youngest player to play in the Scottish Premier League when he made his senior debut. He has also played for St Johnstone, Wrexham, St Mirren, Clyde, Dundee, Forfar Athletic and Greenock Morton.
McCluskey graduated from the Hibernian youth team and made fourteen first team appearances in the 2004–05 season. When McCluskey made his debut, he became the youngest-ever player to play in the Scottish Premier League. This record was broken by Scott Robinson of Hearts in April 2008. McCluskey would later say his debut made him cocky, after refusing to warm-up.
McCluskey was released by Hibs, however, in the summer of 2007, having had "a difference of opinion" with manager John Collins. Another reason for being released was a lack of first team opportunities In the years after his release, McCluskey said leaving Hibs was his biggest regret.
He was then signed by First Division club St Johnstone. McCluskey suffered terrible injury problems with St Johnstone, breaking the same foot twice. In March 2008, having required surgery, McCluskey was ruled out for the rest of the season. He only made five league appearances before being released at the end of the 2007–08 season.
