William Wilton

William Wilton (9 June 1865 – 2 May 1920) was a Scottish football player, administrator and manager.

William Wilton was born at Blyth's Land on Nelson Street in Largs, Ayrshire on 9 June 1865, the son of James Wilton, a stonemason from the Isle of Arran, and Janet Smith, a weaver from Paisley.

[3] Wilton joined the club in September 1883 as a player but never progressed beyond the second string eleven.

He was also on the special committee that oversaw the club's move from Kinning Park to the first Ibrox ground in 1887.

He also guided the club's move to the second (extant) Ibrox Park in 1899 and its response to the disaster at that venue three years later.
