Robert Hamilton

Club

Hamilton started his football career with the local side Elgin City in the Highland League. He relocated to Glasgow in 1896 to attend the city's University and joined Queen's Park. A year later, he joined the Rangers until 1907, earning a reputation as a potent goal-scorer who was remarkably accurate from long range. Hamilton played every match, was top scorer and captained the team during the 1898–99 season, in which they won every league match. He earned further League winners' medals in 1899–1900, 1900–01 and 1901–02 and was part of Rangers' Scottish Cup-winning sides in 1898 and 1903. He became Rangers' all-time top scorer against rivals Celtic during his time at Ibrox, was the club's top goalscorer for nine consecutive seasons and the highest overall in Scottish League Division One on six occasions (including two shared awards), his highest total being 28 from 24 appearances in 1903–04. Hamilton moved south of the border to join Fulham in May 1906, helping them to win the 1906–07 Southern League title, before returning to Rangers a year later. He left the Govan club for a second time in 1908, briefly moving to Heart of Midlothian before joining Morton. He signed for Dundee at the end of the 1909–10 season, too late to be involved in the side which defeated Clyde to win the Scottish Cup, Dundee's first, that year. After three full seasons and part of a fourth at Dens Park, he returned to first club Elgin City in 1913 where he finally retired.
