Jimmy Galt

James Hill Galt (11 August 1885 – 17 November 1935) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a left half for Rangers and Everton.

Club career Galt played with Rangers for eight years between 1906 and 1914. He made 240 appearances and scored six goals for the club.

Galt swapped Glasgow for Merseyside in 1914 and joined Everton. He made 36 appearances for the Toffees and scored four goals. Despite captaining them to the First Division title, he left after only one season when World War I took hold and official football was suspended in England, returning to Scotland to play for Partick Thistle and Third Lanark. He guested for Fulham during the war.

International career Galt won his two Scotland caps in May 1908. He scored on his second appearance, against Ireland on 14 May.

Military service During the First World War he served with Army Service Corps and latterly the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders as a Second Lieutenant. He was wounded in action, suffering severe shell-shock, which meant that he did not resume his football career to any great extent after the war ended.

After retiring from football, Galt ran a series of billiard halls with ex-Rangers teammate Jimmy Gordon.
