Robert Howe (3 August 1903 – 20 June 1979) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left winger.
Born in Dumbarton, Howe played club football for Hamilton Academical,[1] Hearts, Third Lanark, Queen of the South, St Johnstone and Dundee United, and made two appearances for Scotland[2] [3] – he was the first serving Hamilton player to be capped for his country.[1]
At club level, his most notable achievements were winning Scottish Football League Division Two with Third Lanark in 1934–35 and reaching the final of the Scottish Cup with the club one year later (the match was lost to Rangers).[4]
