John Wilkie was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough.[1]
He began his career with Partick Thistle, and returned to the club eight years later for a second spell.[2] [3] He played alongside former Jags left-wing teammate John Campbell at Blackburn and Rangers,[4] and would do so again briefly at Hibernian.[5]
At Rangers, he had a minor role in the club's perfect season of 1898–99 (18 league wins from 18 matches) and played more often as they retained the SFL title in 1899–1900, and in a third championship season in 1901–02. He also claimed Glasgow Cup medals in the latter two seasons.[4]
Wilkie was selected for the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots international trial match in 1898 while with Blackburn,[6] and again in 1904 while with Partick,[7] but this did not lead to a cap for Scotland on either occasion.
