William Findlay (15 November 1922 – 6 January 2001) was a Scottish football player who played as an inside right.
Motherwell-born Findlay began his career with Scottish junior club Blantyre Victoria before moving to join Scottish Football League club Albion Rovers in December 1941.[1] Findlay became recognized as one of the finest players ever to appear for the Cliftonhill side, forming a strong partnership on the right wing with Johnny McIlhatton.
Findlay's showings for Rovers earned him a £7,500 move to Rangers in April 1947.[2] His spell at the Gers included scoring in the 1950 Scottish Cup Final in a 3–0 win over East Fife after only 26 seconds, which remains a record for the event.[2] Findlay also scored in the 1951 Scottish League Cup Final, a 3–2 defeat by Dundee. During his time at Ibrox he netted 65 goals in 114 appearances in the three major competitions[3] and won medals for both the League championship (1948–49 and 1949–50) and the Scottish Cup (1947–48 and 1949–50) – he contributed to two other cup wins but did not take part in the finals.
He returned to Albion Rovers in the 1954–55 season for a few months.[4]
