George McNaughton (born January 11, 1872 in Dundee , † unknown) was a Scottish football player .

Career

McNaughton was active for Dundee Our Boys in the Northern Football League in 1892/93 , before he played the following season for Dundee FC, which was founded as a merger of Our Boys and Dundee East End . The club was accepted into the Scottish Football League and McNaughton played in the 1893/94 season in addition to two league games and a game in the Scottish FA Cup . In April 1894, the English runner-up AFC Sunderland visited Scotland and McNaughton was in the 1: 2 friendly defeat in the Dundee runner-up. Just a few weeks later, McNaughton joined the English club, although professional reasons are said to have played a role. Sunderland had signed McNaughton with Andrew McCreadie , Harry Johnston and Robert McNeill three more Scots for the new season. While McCreadie and Johnston together with Hughie Wilson formed the runner row at the beginning of the season and won the club's third championship title at the end of the season, McNaughton remained without competitive appearances in the first team and moved to the Second Division for Bury FC at the end of November 1894 .

As a right wing runner, he formed the runner row for the rest of the second division season together with Joe Clegg and George Ross . McNaughton made 15 league appearances by the end of the season, when Bury won all home games of the season and qualified first for a "test match" against Liverpool FC , in which they qualified for the First Division with a 1-0 win . The following Erstligasaison of the adopted Glasgow Rangers undertook Jack Prey the place of the right outer rotor, therefore McNaughton was limited to operations in the reserve team. From 1896 to 1898 he played again in his hometown for the Dundee Wanderers in the Northern Football League, in both seasons the club finished second.
