Hi – I saw you were looking for info about missing reserve/youth players.

John Wilson the goalkeeper from Edinburgh left football and joined the police after leaving Celtic. He joined Lothian and Borders police, and was based in Linlithgow for a while. He was also in the firearms team.

A wee spot of football trivia about him: as a schoolboy at Tynecastle high school, their team had 2 goalkeepers in the same year – John Wilson who signed for Celtic, and Andy Bruce who signed for the now defunct Rangers FC.

Hope this helps a wee bit
Jon
