Gladstone Hamilton (23 July 1879 – 12 December 1961) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside right in the Scottish League for Port Glasgow Athletic, Ayr, St Mirren, Morton and Queen's Park.[3] He was capped by Scotland in 1906 and was the only serving Port Glasgow Athletic player to have been selected for international duty.[1][4][5]
Hamilton's elder brothers Alexander and James were also Scotland international players.[4] Historians have suggested that the success of his siblings may have been a factor in his selection, as his own club career was fairly unremarkable.[6] A fourth brother, John, was an early international for Chile, after having moved there for work reasons.[7][8]
