Alexander Bennett (20 September 1881 – 9 January 1940) was a Scottish footballer who played for Celtic, Rangers and the Scotland national team.
[8] He initially played as centre-forward for Celtic, but shifted positions to accommodate Jimmy Quinn which proved beneficial to both players.
He had scored the winning goal in an Old Firm league meeting between the sides just two weeks earlier to clinch the title for Celtic.
[11] He won a further three consecutive League Championships while at Ibrox (1911 to 1913)[12] and remained with the club until 1918, also serving in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) during World War I.
[8][12] After leaving Rangers, Bennett played on until his fortieth birthday, with firstly a loan to Ayr United,[13] then permanent transfers to Dumbarton[14] and Albion Rovers.
