William George McGinnigle (5 June 1892 – 11 Oct 1947) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back for Cambuslang Rangers, Hibernian, Celtic and Coleraine.[1]
He made 333 appearances for Hibs in the Scottish Football League and Scottish Cup[2] including two finals of the knockout competition (1923 and 1924, both ending in defeat).[3] [4] In contrast, he played in only one league fixture for Celtic on an emergency loan due to wartime circumstances in 1918, which they won on the way to winning the championship by a single point.
He was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI in 1924[5] and took part in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match a year earlier,[6] but never received a full international cap.
McGinnigle served in the British Army Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders during the First World War and he was awarded the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
