Robert Glen (16 January 1875 – 16 July 1953)[3] was a Scottish footballer who played for Renton,[4] Sheffield Wednesday,[5] Rangers,[6] Hibernian[7] and Scotland.
[17][1] One match report said Glen was the star performer in defence for Hibs, as he would make interceptions "in the nick of time" and would use "trick" plays like overhead kicks to get the ball to safety.
[18] A few weeks later he was in the side that defeated the same opposition 6–2 to win the Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup (in that year only, entry was extended to clubs outwith that city to boost the income for the Ibrox Disaster Relief Fund).
[19] Glen also helped the club win the Scottish League championship in 1902–03,[20] although he made only three appearances that season due to injury.
[3] After spending the best part of nine seasons with Hibs, he played some further games for Renton, by now competing in the minor Scottish Football Union competition.
