John Divers (19 January 1874 – 13 March 1942) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward for Hibernian, Celtic, Everton and Scotland.
He won the Scottish Cup on three occasions: with Celtic in 1899 and 1900 (having returned to the club for a second spell after a dispute over critical press reporters which led to his suspension and departure, along with Peter Meechan, in 1897),[7] and with Hibs in 1902.[8]
