Alexander McNeill was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left in the early part of his career, and as a left half towards its end.[1] He spent most of his playing days with Port Glasgow Athletic over two spells,[2] winning the Scottish Division Two title in 1901–02 and playing his part in them retaining top-division status for the next four seasons. He also had short spells with St Bernard's and Abercorn.
McNeill was selected for the Scottish Football League XI on one occasion,[3] a 6–0 win over the Irish League representative team in February 1900. He was the only serving Port Glasgow player to feature for the SFL XI.[4]
He should not be confused with Daniel McNeill (possibly a relative) or Alexander Neil, both of whom played for Port Glasgow in the same era (Neil also played for Abercorn).
