Biog

Owen McNally was a centre-forward signed by the Bhoys from hometown side Denny Hibernian in February 1927.

He made his competitive debut in place of the injured Jimmy McGrory in a 3-3 league draw at Dundee United on April 9th. A prolific scorer at junior level he was leased out to Arthurlie before returning to Parkhead. After a loan at Hamilton he departed the Hoops for good in September 1930 to join Bray Unknowns.

Owen played 11 times for Celtic and scored four goals, not a bad record but never seen as good enough by the management for a regular run to prove himself further.

While on loan to Second Division Arthurlie, he scored eight goals in a 10-0 win over Armadale in October 1927.
