"He came and asked if I minded him going out to try and I said I didn’t."
Lots of non-specific definite articles there, but the crux of it is that Stu's on trial with an as-yet-unnamed club in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
McCluskey arrived at Cappielow to shore up Morton's beleaguered defence at the start of this season. Despite some good performances, and a visibly positive effect on his co-defender Stuart Greacen, McCluskey's vocal, no-nonsense style failed to endear him to some of the support (who acted like greetin' weans whenever Stu dared to open his mouth).
However, recently his Morton career has been dogged (pictured) by controversy. Amidst rumours that he has been late for training on more than one occasion (note: these rumours are currently unconfirmed), McCluskey has been posted missing from first team duty even before heading out to the sunny climes of Arabia. Stu took part in reserve games as recently as a fortnight ago, before boarding a "ship of the desert" to seek his fortune amidst the Arabs.
A keen gardener, McCluskey was among the first in the UK to successfully cross-germinate a turnip with a rhubarb plant. The resulting hybrid eventually metamorphasised into a human being, namely Stranraer 'keeper Michael McGovern, who is pish.
