Career
12inch began his career at St. Johnstone in 1998, spending 5 years at the club before joining Brechin City in the summer of 2003. First team opportunities were limited for McCulloch in his first season at the struggling First Division outfit and he departed the club to join Second Division side Morton after just one season at Glebe Park. Marc made a quick impression at Morton but his career there was short-lived after just 6 months when he joined Arbroath. Marc never looked back at Arbroath as he became a regular in the side and he was eventually rewarded for his excellent performances and commitment with the club's captaincy.
After 2 and a half years at Arbroath, Marc announced that he would be leaving the club to make a move to Irish football by signing for Eircom League of Ireland First Division club Shelbourne.[1] Marc officially became a Shelbourne player on July 1, 2007 and made his Shels debut on July 6, 2007 against Wexford Youths at Tolka Park while providing the cross for winning header by Mark Leech in a 1-0 win for his new team.[2] Marc's experience and ability at left-back shone through at Shelbourne where he became a fan favourite amongst the Shels faithful. Marc made 19 league appearances for Shelbourne during the 2007 Season but he would depart Shelbourne[3] in November 2007 to sign for Galway United. Marc signed for his old club Arbroath on the 7th of January 2009.
After asking to be released from Arbroath,[4] McCulloch signed for East Fife.
In July 2011 he joined Stirling Albion[5] making his competitive debut on 23 July in a 3-1 victory over Deveronvale in a Scottish Challenge Cup first round match.[6]
