Bo’ness, West Lothian born inside or outside left Andy Miller began his football career with Newton Thistle, and played for Vale of Grange in 1918 and Croy Celtic in 1919, from where he was signed by Glasgow Celtic in August 1920, making his Scottish League debut against Hamilton Academical the next month. His only goal in 5 matches for Celtic came in a 3-0 victory over Hibernian in April 1921. He also played in Charlie Shaw’s benefit match on 5th Oct 1920 against a strong Central League XI that included Joe Dodds and Arthur McInally.
