🎁 Player Profile

• Name: Joe McMillan

• Team: Greater Croftpark Rose (Championship)

• Position: Striker

When we started planning this Christmas series, Joe’s name was one of the first on the list.

A Natural Leader

What sets Joe apart isn’t only the goals — it’s the leadership. Rose have a strong, ambitious squad, and Joe’s voice and standards are a major part of that. He works, he expects the same from those around him, and he gives the team a focal point on and off the pitch.

Before GCR ⬇️

Before bringing his talents to Greater Croftpark Rose , Joe also had a notable spell at DTI AFC, a side also competing within the competitive GCFA framework. His experience and ability to perform consistently across different GCFA clubs underscores his quality and deep understanding of amateur football in Glasgow

Currently

Joe is currently enjoying his start to life at Greater Croftpark Rose, Tbh not much has changed from previous seasons as Joe is one of most consistent players on and off the pitch.

🗣️ Festive Shout-Out

Joe isn’t a luxury player — he’s the one you rely on when the game needs settled. Direct, committed, and relentless around goal. If there’s a job to be finished, Joe’s the striker you trust.

As the second half of the season approaches, all eyes will be on Joe McMillan. Keep this form going, and Rose could be celebrating more than just Christmas.
