James S. Blair (born c. 1910) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right half for Third Lanark in the first and second tiers of the Scottish Football League during the 1930s.[1]
He won the Scottish Division Two title on two occasions (1930–31 and 1934–35) and played in the 1936 Scottish Cup Final which Thirds lost 1–0 to Rangers.[2] A short time prior to the outbreak of World War II, Blair was selected to play for the Scottish Football League XI in two matches.[3] In 1944 he joined St Mirren, but only appeared for the club in unofficial wartime competitions before retiring in 1946.[4] He later managed Third Lanark between 1954 and 1955, without much success.[5]
