Biography

Neil was signed from Hillside Boys Club in July 1975 by Albert Henderson and after featuring in pre-season friendlies for the club he made his first competitive appearance in November of that year, starting a First Division game against Clyde at right back. It was in September of the following year he fully broke into starting 11, becoming our regular right back for the remainder of the 1976-77 campaign. He continued as a regular for most of the following season before dropping out of the team late on in the campaign in favour of Allan McKenzie.

The following season McKenzie continued as our regular right back and Neil only made ten appearances, with all of them coming before New Year and in May 1979 he was allowed to leave the club on a free transfer.
