William Reid (3 May 1884 – 13 May 1964) was a Scottish international football player and manager, who played as a striker.
He scored 11 league goals in two seasons before a move to Third Lanark in April 1906; his only official appearance for the club was in the Scottish Cup final defeat to Hearts later that month.
[4] Reid returned to Scotland in April 1909 when signed by Rangers, where again his debut came in a Scottish Cup final[1] (in this case the replay of the 1909 event which was followed by a riot by spectators with the trophy withheld) but this time he stayed with his new club for a long period,[5] and won three successive league titles.
His football career was interrupted by the First World War, during which he served as a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery 52nd Lowland Division and played only once for Rangers in three years, returning to contribute to another championship in the 1919–20 campaign.
[5] In 1920 Reid moved to Albion Rovers as player-manager,[2] where he finished his playing career with 36 league goals for the club.
