George Law (born 13 December 1885 in Arbroath) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back.
He began his career at local club Arbroath and moved to Rangers in 1907. Law became a favourite among the Ibrox fans for his determined, hard-tackling defensive style. Playing during the William Wilton era, he won a Scottish league championship medal in 1911, one Glasgow Cup, and two Glasgow Merchants Charity Cups. He never won a Scottish Cup, but did play in the abandoned 1909 Scottish Cup Final.[1]
Law left Rangers and moved to Leeds City in 1912. He retired after seven seasons in Yorkshire (interrupted by World War I)[2] and a return to part-time Arbroath in the early 1920s.[3] After retirement from football, he went into the engineering business.
