Biography

Bruce was signed up just after the start of the 1954-55 season, the inside forward having been released by Brechin City at the end of the previous campaign and impressing manager Alec Cheyne in our summer trials. He was a regular in the front line, mainly at inside left, for most of the season before receiving less game time at the start of the 1955-56 campaign, and he was sold to Berwick Rangers in mid-October 1955.
