Neil Gibson (1899 – 1974) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half, primarily for Clyde.[2] He scored the goal which won the Glasgow Cup for the club in the 1925–26 season (with a win over Celtic at their own ground),[3] and in 1929 was selected to play for the Glasgow FA select team in their annual match against the Sheffield FA.[4]
His father Neilly Gibson and younger brother Jimmy both played for the Scotland national team and at club level with teams including Partick Thistle (where Neil had a short spell as a young player), while elder brother Willie also played professionally with Newcastle United.[5][6]
