Thomas Edmund Russell Moreland (1901–1986) was a Scottish amateur footballer who played in the Scottish League for Queen's Park, Heart of Midlothian, Hamilton Academical and Third Lanark as a forward or left half. In addition to managing Clyde, he served Third Lanark as player-manager and later as a board member.
After beginning his career with Petershill, Moreland played 11 seasons as a forward or left half for Scottish League clubs Queen's Park, Heart of Midlothian, Hamilton Academical and Third Lanark.[2] [3] As a player, he was a member of Queen's Park's 1922–23 Second Division-winning team and later achieved the same feat as player-manager of Third Lanark in 1930–31. After retiring as a player and departing Third Lanark in 1934, Moreland became manager of First Division club Clyde in 1935 and managed the club to consecutive Scottish Cup semi-finals during the 1935–36 and 1936–37 seasons.[4]
Moreland was selected for the Glasgow FA's annual challenge match against Sheffield FA in 1925.[5]
Moreland was also active as a boxing promoter and promoted the fights of Jackie Paterson. He ran a sports emporium on Argyle Street in Glasgow, which went into liquidation in 1956.
