Hugh Auld Morton (25 November 1902 – 23 August 1980) was a Scottish footballer who played for Kilmarnock and Scotland, mainly at right half.[4][5] He took part in the 1929 Scottish Cup Final in which Killie claimed the trophy by beating Rangers,[6][7] and in the 1932 final, a defeat to the same opposition after a replay.[8] He then fell out of favour and spent most of the 1932–33 season at Morton, but was then re-signed by Kilmarnock and finished his career there.[9]

Two other players named Hugh Morton, both also from the Newmilns / Darvel area, featured for Kilmarnock in the 1900s[10][11] but neither was a close relative, nor was teammate John Morton (a goalkeeper).[12][9]
