Born in Glasgow, McQuilken began his career with Celtic and made five league appearances for the club.

The following month, McQuilken made his first start as United recorded their biggest win of the season, beating Dumbarton 8–0 at Tannadice. Used as both a left-back and left midfielder, McQuilken featured fourteen times that season, including both legs of the playoff win over Partick Thistle. The following season, McQuilken was deployed as a left-back for the first six matches before being confined mainly to the bench. Featuring a handful of times more, he played his last game in October 1996 before joining Hibernian in January 1997. Featuring in ten of Hibs' remaining matches that season, McQuilken moved to Falkirk at the start of the 1997–98 season.

At Falkirk, McQuilken became a regular, playing in the majority of matches each season and playing most of the club's title-winning season in 2002–03.
