George Peebles (22 January 1936 – 16 October 2016)[3] [4] was a Scottish football player and manager. He played for Dunfermline Athletic for most of his career, helping the club win the 1960–61 Scottish Cup.[5] Peebles provided an assist for the first Dunfermline goal in their cup final victory against Celtic.[3] He moved to Stirling Albion in 1966 for a £4000 transfer fee.[3]
Peebles later became a coach, managing Stirling Albion between 1986 and 1988. He had previously served as an assistant to Alex Smith, taking over when Smith moved to St Mirren.[5] Peebles then coached players at St Johnstone on a part-time basis, while also working as a painter and decorator.[3]
