John "Jean" McFarlane (24 November 1899 – 25 February 1956) was a Scottish footballer who played for Celtic, Middlesbrough and Dunfermline Athletic as a half back.[1]
He made over 300 appearances for Celtic in a decade as a first team player at the club, winning five major honours: two Scottish Football League championships (1921–22 and 1925–26) and three Scottish Cups (1923, 1925 and 1927).[2] [3] [4]
McFarlane was selected four times for the Scottish Football League XI[5] and played in an international trial match in 1924[6] but never gained a full cap for Scotland, one of few players to appear so often for the SFL team without playing at least once for the SFA.
His nephew Willie Fagan was also a footballer who played for Celtic and won the English Football League title with Liverpool.[3]
