Alexander “Alex” Silcock Scott (22 November 1937 — 13 September 2001) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right winger.

Born in Falkirk, Scott started his career at Rangers, whom he joined aged 16 in 1954 from Bo’ness United. He scored a hat-trick in his debut against Falkirk at Ibrox while just 19 years old. In nine years with the club he scored 108 goals in 331 matches and won four Scottish Football League First Division titles, one Scottish Cup and two League Cups. He was also part of the Rangers side defeated by Fiorentina in the 1961 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, scoring the Gers’ only goal. With Rangers signing Willie Henderson, he moved to Everton in February 1963 for £39,000 and helped them win the Division One title two months later. He also won the FA Cup with the Toffees in 1966.

Scott returned to Scotland when signed by Hibernian for £13,000 in 1967 and finished his career at his hometown club Falkirk between 1970 and 1972. Curiously, Hibernian used part of the fee they received from Newcastle United for the transfer of Alex’s younger brother Jim to finance his signature. The brothers did play together at Falkirk, however, Jim joining several months before Alex’s retirement in 1972.

Scott won 16 caps for Scotland between 1956 and 1966 and was a member of their 1958 FIFA World Cup squad. He also represented his country at B and under-23 level, as well as appearing 7 times for the Scottish League.

Scott went into business with his brother after his retirement from football. He died in Falkirk in 2001 aged 63.

A highly rated, steadily emerging midfield prospect at the Club, Irishman Patrick enjoyed another good year last season. He progressed to the Under-19s, scoring four times in 21 appearances, and also stepped up to the reserves, playing six times at that level, as well as two FA Youth Cup games. The Irish Youth International is happy as a holding midfielder, but also excels when going forward.

Patrick was sold to Falkirk in Jan 06

Playing career

Born in Falkirk, Ormond signed for Hibernian in November 1946 from Stenhousemuir. An outside-left, he played for Hibs over a fifteen year period. He was one of the “Famous Five”, the Hibs forward line during the 1950s, one of the strongest group of players ever in Scottish football outside the “Old Firm” of Celtic and Rangers. (The others were Bobby Johnstone, Lawrie Reilly, Gordon Smith and Eddie Turnbull). They all scored over 100 goals for the club, he scored a total 193. During his playing career, he won the Scottish League Championship three times with Hibernian and won six Scotland caps. He was the last member of the Five to leave Hibs, signing for hometown Falkirk in 1961.

Managerial career

After he retired from playing, Ormond became assistant trainer at Falkirk. In 1967, he was appointed as manager of St. Johnstone. He led the club to the 1969 League Cup final and third in the League one year, ahead of Rangers, taking them into Europe for the first time, a serious achievement for a Scottish club outside the major cities.

When the Scottish Football Association wanted someone capable of bringing stability to the job of Scotland manager after Tommy Docherty left, Ormond was a natural choice and he was appointed in 1973. He was blessed with a talented squad and steered them to the 1974 World Cup Finals in West Germany. Although Scotland didn’t lose any of their games and came back as the only unbeaten team in the tournament, they were eliminated after the first round. This was actually the best ever performance by a Scotland team in a World Cup.

Later, minor breaches of player discipline accumulated and after four years the SFA came to believe it wanted a more forceful and charismatic figure as manager. In May 1977 he resigned and was appointed as manager of Hearts – the arch rivals of his old team, Hibs. Many Hearts fans at the time were less than happy given Ormond’s background but he soon won them over before being sacked in 1980, whereupon he moved to Hibernian as assistant to his old Famous Five colleague Eddie Turnbull. When Turnbull resigned, Ormond took over but his health was not good and forced him to retire soon after.

Trivia

• The South Stand at McDiarmid Park, St. Johnstone’s ground since 1989, is named in his honour.
• His brother Gibby also played League football, for semi-professional Cowdenbeath in the mid 1960s.

Thomson Sandlands Allan (born 5 October 1946, in Longridge, West Lothian) is a former Scottish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Allan began his career at Hibernian in 1963, where he was a League Cup runner-up in 1968-69. He joined Dundee in 1971 and collected his only winner’s medal at Dens Park, when the Dark Blues defeated Celtic 1-0 in the 1973-74 League Cup final.

Allan was called up to the Scotland squad that season, earning his only two caps in warm-up matches for the 1974 FIFA World Cup. He was selected in the squad for West Germany but was considered back-up to Leeds United’s David Harvey and did not play during the tournament.

Allan reverted to part-time status when he started working at British Leyland’s Bathgate plant and wound down his career with brief spells at Meadowbank Thistle, Heart of Midlothian, Falkirk and East Stirling before retiring in 1982.

A consistent and reliable goalkeeper who had a long career in the game, he began at Hibernian in 1963. A move to Dundee in 1971 brought him his only senior medal, a Scottish League Cup winner’s medal in 1973. Early in 1979 he had a brief loan spell with Meadowbank Thistle and soon after moved to Heart of Midlothian until his retirement in 1980. His two caps came in the spring of 1974 and he was reserve goalkeeper in Scotland’s World Cup squad in Germany that summer.
