I reckon there would have to be the odd star out there but I doubt you would find clusters. Whether the individuals are actually free from the galaxy is another matter and finding them harder still. There is a halo of stars around the galaxy but actually being an escapee, dont know, big escape velocity would be required I suspect.
However, stars in very ecentric orbits.. should be common enough... bloody lonely place to be though. Then again, imagine the veiw from a few thousand light years above the galactic plane.... come to pappa!
