He was part of Rangers' 'perfect season' in the 1898–99 Scottish Division One where they won all 18 fixtures, featuring in the defence in 17 of those matches.[3] Apart from that season, he was a capable reserve for the first team during the rest of his time at the Govan club,[4] whereas in his two spells with hometown club St Mirren he was a regular,[5] but had dropped out of the side by the time they reached the 1908 Scottish Cup Final.
