John Divers (6 August 1911 – 8 June 1984)[1][2] was a Scottish footballer, who played for Celtic, Morton, Oldham Athletic and the Scotland national side.
He was a creative, goal-scoring but tough inside left, who joined Celtic from Renfrew Juniors in 1932.
He helped the club to win the Scottish league championship in 1937–38 and was also the creative mastermind behind its victory in the Empire Exhibition Trophy of summer 1938, when Celtic beat Everton 1–0 in the final, before winning a Glasgow Cup at the end of the same year.
His family connections mean he was also related to fellow footballing descendants of Patsy Gallacher: sons Willie and Tommy, and grandsons Brian and Kevin.
