Queen of the South

McLean was part of the 1961/62 George Farm managed Queen of the South side that won promotion to the top division of Scottish football. As well as player/manager Farm, McLean was a team mate of Neil Martin, Jim Patterson and Iain McChesney.^[2]

McLean returned to Dumfries in the 1970s, this time as manager. In 1975 his second-place finish was only denied promotion to the top division of Scottish football by league reconstruction.^[3] He left Palmerston Park that summer and was replaced by Mike Jackson.
