First name

The article gives his first name as "Alexander" whereas www.allfootballers.com has "Alexander - known as Alisdair". "The Alphabet of the Saints"^[1] has "Alistair", while "In that Number"^[2] has "Alexander". Which is corect? --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, can't help you on that one. All the books I have on Hibs just refer to him as "Ally". Ally is normally a derivative of Alistair or Alisdair. Usual derivatives of Alexander are either just plain Alex or Sandy. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 18:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
