Biography

Willie was signed up from St. Ninians Thistle in early December after impressing in a trial match that day at home to Bathgate in the Second Division. He featured twice in early January 1926 before going on to cement his place as the regular left back at the start of February. Between summer 1926 and 1931 he barely missed a competitive game.

During the 1931-32 season, he lost his place for two long spells but the following campaign he again featured in most of our competitive games. After initially being allowed to leave in the summer of 1933, he was re-signed in late August after several injuries, and he featured a further five times during the autumn months before leaving the club again in the New Year.
