James Young (born 1 March 1891) was a Scottish footballer who played for Lochgelly United, Raith Rovers, Kilmarnock, Celtic, Rangers and Dumbarton.[1] [2]
Young played one game for Celtic on 9 February 1918 while on loan from Lochgelly United against Hearts at Celtic Park, as the Bhoys ran out 3-0 victors; however Celtic were unwilling to meet Lochgelly's £250 asking price for the player so he did not stay with the club. He signed for Rangers the following week and played in four matches[3] before the end of the season as the Gers won the Scottish Football League title by a point over their Glasgow rivals, but did not feature again, moving on to Dumbarton in January 1919.[4]
