Biog

William McCann signed for Celtic on December 22 1894 from Strathclyde and made his debut on the same day in a 2-2 home league draw with St Mirren. His debut game was said to be played in such horrendous weather, so wild and stormy that he was able to count spectators as they arrived. The game was played and the result still stood.

The centre forward played only a further two games that season before being released in the summer.
