Thomas Boyd McKillop (27 October 1917 – February 1984) was a Scottish footballer who played for Rangers, winning the Scottish Football League title on two occasions with the Govan club (1936–37 and 1938–39).[1][2][3] His football career was then interrupted by the Second World War, during which he served in the British Army.[4] At the end of the war, he accepted an invitation from William Reaside to play in Mexico, alongside Jackie Milne and Jimmy Hickie.[5] He then moved to Wales to play for Rhyl,[6][7] and later managed the club.[5][8] His daughters Sarah and Liz were raised in Wales, Liz was later a prominent civil servant in Scotland during the 1990s.[9]

McKillop represented Scotland once, in a 3–1 victory against Netherlands in May 1938.[1]
