George Stewart (born 29 August 1947 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former professional footballer, who played for Dundee and Hibernian. Born in Edinburgh, Stewart started his career with Tynecastle Boys Club, before signing for Dundee in 1964.[1] Stewart was part of the Dundee side that won the 1973 Scottish League Cup Final.[2]
He transferred to Hibernian in 1976, after Dundee were relegated from the Scottish Premier Division.[1] Stewart played in over 100 league matches for Hibs, and played in the twice-replayed 1979 Scottish Cup Final. Stewart had helped Hibs reach that final by scoring one of the goals against Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts in the quarter-final.[1] Stewart left Hibs in 1981 to sign for Cowdenbeath, but at the end of the season he joined Dunfermline as a coach. He then returned to Hibs as an assistant to Pat Stanton.[3]
