John Gilchrist (15 April 1900 – 1950) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Celtic, Preston North End, Carlisle United, Third Lanark and Scotland.
[7][8] He turned in impressive performances at half-back,[5] which saw him capped for Scotland in April 1922, a 1–0 win over England at Villa Park.
However, Gilchrist had a strained relationship with manager Willie Maley whose disciplinary orders he was reluctant to follow.
[5] After a brief spell as player-coach at Carlisle United, he moved back to Scotland in the summer of 1924 to join Third Lanark.
He joined Brooklyn Wanderers but made just six appearances, then finally had a year at Pawtucket Rangers, playing only three games in his time there.
