David Murray McPherson (22 August 1872 – 24 July 1942) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half.

Career

Born in Kilmarnock, McPherson played club football for Kilmarnock[3] [4] and Rangers,[5] and made one appearance for Scotland in 1892.[6]

His older brother John was also a Kilmarnock and Rangers player (they played on opposite sides in the 1898 Scottish Cup Final)[7] and a Scotland international,[1] and several other family members were also involved in football (though not as many as claimed in some reports which erroneously connect his family to another set of sporting McPhersons from Kilmarnock).[8] [9]
