Wilson Wood (25 January 1943 – 13 June 2017), born in Whitburn, was a Scottish footballer who played primarily as a midfielder.
A former lab assistant with the National Coal Board,[1] Wood started his professional career with Newcastle United whom he joined from Shotts Bon Accord aged 17.
He spent only one year on Tyneside and left the club without making an appearance, returning to Scotland to join Rangers.
He spent seven seasons at Ibrox, where he won his only senior medal as a member of Rangers victorious 1964–65 League Cup side.
However, in 1970 a contract dispute with United manager Jerry Kerr led to his departure to boyhood favourites Hearts, in exchange for Tommy Traynor.
