Sammy Wilson (footballer, born 1931)


Sammy Wilson was a Scottish footballer, who played professionally for St Mirren, Celtic, Millwall, Northampton Town and Mansfield Town. Although he only spent two years with Celtic, Wilson may be best-remembered for his role in one famous victory, when he scored their first goal in their record 7–1 victory over Rangers in the 1957 Scottish League Cup Final. Wilson finished his footballing career in the first half of the 1960s, having moved to the north of Scotland to sign for Highland Football League clubs Ross County and then Brora Rangers.
