Matthew Scott (footballer, born 1872)

Matthew Scott (born 1872, date of death unknown) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward. His career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Scott is primarily noted for his time at Rangers, although precise details about his playing career are scarce. Historical records indicate he was part of the Rangers squad during the early years of the Scottish League. Information about his playing style, specific appearances, and goals scored is limited due to the incompleteness of records from that era. He is one of many relatively obscure players from the early days of organised football whose contributions are difficult to fully document. More research is needed to provide a comprehensive account of his career.
