 Jock was one of the celebrated Partick pioneers who ventured southwards to tour Lancashire in 1880 when he was in his early 20s. He signed for Rangers in the autumn of 1880 and was pretty much an ever-present on the right wing for just over 3 years. He seems to have been on good terms with the Partick Thistle committee for he appeared as a Jag on several occasions over a 2 year spell, initially doing so in November 1882. At that time, the Jags had never been beaten in their 26 months at Jordanvale, but the grand challenge to the mighty Vale of Leven proved to be too much, and the club's first loss was recorded by a thumping great 2-6 scoreline, despite Jock's assistance. Thistle played well in spells and the result was rather sore on them. Jock continued to impress as a Rangers man, so much so that he was bestowed with the highest honour of representing Scotland in the 12th annual contest versus England on 10th March 1883. For the 8th time, Scotland defeated the Auld Enemy, 3 to 2 at Sheffield. 2 days later, the travelling Scots party landed in Wrexham where the Welsh were soundly beaten by 3 to nil, Jock once again in the thick of it. The following season, it would be Vale of Leven once more who would haunt Jock, this time as a Ranger, when the Scottish Cup semi final was surrendered by 3 goals to nil in January 1884. After this disappointment, it all went a bit pear-shaped for Jock at Kinning Park. Between then and the end of that season, he turned again for Partick Thistle and had a remarkable dalliance with Preston North End, travelling back and forth to partake in their run to the FA Cup Final, no doubt earning a pretty penny on the side. All the while he worked as a mechanic in Glasgow - it was a hectic schedule. All of this effort proved to be worthwhile when Rovers won the trophy on 29 March 1884, defeating Queen's Park by 2 goals to 1. Jock tried to patch things up with Rangers and played once more for their first team in April 1884. In August 1884 he was still being described as a Rangers player when he - along with teammate R. Maitland - guested once more for Thistle in a 4-1 defeat at Dumbarton. At this point he was lured back to Lancashire by agents of Great Lever who fixed him up with a job in Bolton. When Great Lever faded, he found work in Preston and, in 1888, was appointed to coach their reserves, although he did also make another handful of appearances for the first team. After his footballing days were over, he remained in Preston, working as a foreman at Margerison's soap works. Later in life, he was dogged by ill health for many years and died of dropsy in his early 60s.
