Robert Forsyth McDermid (26 September 1895 – 19 August 1952) was a professional footballer who played for Rangers, Dumbarton, Queen of the South and Aberdeen.
[2] McDermid began his career at Queen's Park,[3] then joined Rangers where he was a regular member of the side in his first season, 1917–18, finishing as champions.
In the final replay, a surging run through the opposition half and shot from McDermid opened the scoring.
The train bringing the players and the trophy back to Dumfries were met by crowds of jubilant well-wishers on the platforms and surrounding streets and approaches.
[1] Aberdonians advocate that it was there McDermid enjoyed the best days of his career – he spent eight years at Pittodrie and became club captain.
