Peter Johnstone (footballer)

On leaving school, he worked in his hometown's coalmine, whilst also playing for Junior club Glencraig Celtic.

He won three Scottish Cup medals as well as four League championships with Celtic and was a mainstay in their side for several years.

[5][6][7][8] Johnstone enlisted with the army in 1916 to assist the war effort, despite being both a newsagent and a coal-miner – both reserved occupations.

Johnstone continued to occasionally play for Celtic during his army training, and in September 1916 travelled overnight from England to help his teammates defeat Rangers in a Glasgow Cup tie.

Johnstone died in May 1917 when the 6th Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders attempted to capture a chemicals factory near Rouex in north-west France during the Battle of Arras.
