The evening was a poignant one, with Ian’s family in attendance, and tributes paid by director Gordon Watson, guest speaker Archie MacPherson and two former stars who played under McMillan in John Lapsley and Willie McGuire.
Those in attendance were treated to a three-course meal and speech from after-dinner speaker, ex-SFA chief executive Gordon Smith.
During the evening, the club also held their Player of the Year awards.
