Charles McGill (3 February 1903 – 1988) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left back.[2][3] He spent much of his career in the United States, most of it with Fall River F.C.,[4] where he won the American Soccer League three times (1925–26, 1928–29 and 1930). He returned to Scotland in 1931 where he spent seven years with Aberdeen, being part of the team that finished in third place in 1935–36 Scottish Division One table and runners-up in 1936–37, although he was not selected for the 1937 Scottish Cup Final.[1]
McGill was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI against the English Football League XI in 1935.[5]
