Willie Waugh (2 February 1910 – 1970) was a Scottish footballer, who played as a goalkeeper, primarily for Heart of Midlothian,[3] [4] although he played almost as many Scottish Football League matches for Third Lanark on a three-year loan, which included winning the 1930–31 Scottish Division Two title.[3]
Waugh was one of two players loaned by Hearts to their Edinburgh derby rivals Hibernian in 1936, which helped Hibs avoid relegation from 1935–36 Scottish Division One.[5] After returning to Tynecastle Park, Waugh was first-choice goalkeeper as Hearts secured runners-up spot in the 1937–38 Scottish Division One season, their highest finish in 23 years.
He won one cap for Scotland in December 1937, playing in a 5–0 win against Czechoslovakia in a friendly.[6]
