Biog
Alexander McGregor signed for the Hoops from Clydebank Juniors in February 1914. He was said to be “fast, fairly clever and a good shot“.
He won his place after impressing in a trial match against Wigtownshire, so was then given his chance with the First Team proper.
The Renfrew-born outside right played his only competitive game in a 1-0 league defeat at Falkirk on 28th February 1914. It was a notable game in that Celtic’s then record of clean sheets in matches was broken, having not conceded a goal since 13 Dec 1913 until this game.
He soon after played in a friendly v Middlesborough on 21st Mar 1914, but he wasn’t in the squad for the tour of Central Europe that summer (just before the First World War was to break out).
It just wasn’t to be for Alec at Celtic.
He was loaned out to both St Mirren and Dumbarton before signing with Clydebank in May 1916.
