Charles "Chic" Geatons (16 July 1907 – 20 June 1970) was a Scottish footballer who played for Celtic,[1] his only club as a professional. He was a Scottish Football League winner twice (1935–36 and 1937–38), and a Scottish Cup winner three times (1931, 1933 and 1937).
He retired as a player in 1941 but returned to the club in 1945 as a coach.[4] Geatons left Celtic in 1950, citing frustration at the club chairman's excessive involvement in team matters.[5]
