Thomas "Tommy" Allan Muirhead (born 31 January, 1897 in Cowdenbeath, Fife; died June 1979) was a Scottish footballer who played for Hibernian, Rangers and Scotland.

Player

Hibs and Rangers

Muirhead, a forward who was occasionally deployed as a half-back,cite book | last = Lamming | first = Douglas | title = A Scottish Soccer Internationalists Who’s Who, 1872-1986 | format = Hardback | publisher = Hutton Press | year = 1987 | id = (ISBN 0-907033-47-4) ] was signed by Rangers for £20 from Hibernian in May 1917. He made his debut, ironically against his former club, Hibs in a 3-0 win at Ibrox on September 15 1917. He went on to score 49 goals in 353 appearances for Rangers and won 8 championship medals. He was also captain of the club for a spell.

American Soccer League

Muirhead's Rangers career was interrupted by a brief stint in the United States in 1925. Cash-rich American Soccer League club Boston Wonder Workers lured him across the Atlantic to assume the role of player-manager. However, despite the presence of several other Scots, including internationalists such as Alex McNab and Barney Battles, he could not settle in Boston and returned to Glasgow after only 14 games.cite book | last = Jose | first = Colin | title = American Soccer League, 1921-1931 | format = Hardback | publisher = The Scarecrow Press | year = 1998 | id = (ISBN 0-8108-3429-4) ]

Muirhead returned to Rangers where he played until 1930.

National team

Muirhead was capped at international level, making 8 appearances for Scotland including captaining his country in a 1-0 defeat to Northern Ireland on 25 February 1928.

Manager

After his playing career, Muirhead had further spells in management with St Johnstone (1931-36) and Preston North End (1936-37) and he also worked as a sports journalist.
