'''Willie Miller''' (20 October 1924 – 23 June 2005) was a Scottish [[association football|footballer]], who played as a [[goalkeeper (football)|goalkeeper]] for [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]], [[Clyde F.C.|Clyde]] and [[Hibernian F.C.|Hibernian]]. Miller was capped six times by the [[Scotland national football team]].
Miller was signed by Celtic in May 1942, and made his debut in the following August, aged just 17. He remained at [[Celtic Park]] until 1950, but he won no medals. On the resumption of international football after the [[Second World War]], Miller was first choice for [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]]. He also represented the [[Scottish League XI]] seven times between March 1947 and November 1948.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.londonhearts.com/SFL/players/aaplayersbyapp.html|title=Scotland FL Players by Appearances|work=Londonhearts.com|publisher=London Hearts Supporters' Club|accessdate=27 November 2011}}</ref>
In 1950 he moved across the city to Clyde, and had two good seasons before being dropped from the team. Miller left Clyde in November 1953, and after a few months out of football, signed for Hibernian. He was used as [[reserve team|reserve]] cover, however, and only made three league appearances before retiring from the game in 1955.
