Robert McNeil (24 November 1890 – 21 February 1948) was a Scottish footballer who played for Hamilton Academical and Chelsea.
After spells in the Junior grade where his clubs included Shettleston, he joined Hamilton Academical in December 1910[4][5] and quickly established himself, playing in the 1911 Scottish Cup Final which Accies lost to Celtic after a replay.
[3] He scored on his competitive debut, and was a member of the Blues side that reached the 1915 FA Cup Final.
[7][8] During World War I when the English Football League was suspended but the Scottish Football League continued, McNeil returned north for several guest spells, including nearly three full seasons with Hamilton, shorter spells with Motherwell and a single match for Celtic (in the 1918 Glasgow Cup final)[9] before returning to Chelsea.
[10] McNeil represented the Scottish Football League XI three times in his initial spell at Hamilton,[2][5] and played for both sides in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial matches,[5] but never appeared for Scotland at full international level.
