James Scotland Symon (9 May 1911 – 30 April 1985) was a Scottish football player and manager.
[2] His career was then interrupted by the onset of World War II; during the conflict he continued to play for Rangers and made over 250 appearances in unofficial competitions[2] (almost all of which the club won).
[2] Symon played cricket for Scotland in 1938, taking five Australian wickets for just 33 runs.
When Symon was sensationally sacked by Rangers in November 1967 (in spite of the team leading the league table at that point), he was told of the decision by an accountant.
[3] Symon was the manager who signed Sir Alex Ferguson for Rangers.
