Ian Ross (Scottish footballer)

Ian Ross (Scottish footballer)

Ian Ross (born 26 November 1947 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a former professional footballer and football manager.

A utility player, Ross's debut was for Liverpool on 14 January 1967 at Sheffield Wednesday in the Football League Division One. He then moved to Aston Villa for £60,000 in February 1972, where captained their side that gained promotion to the top flight and also won the League Cup.

After falling out of favour at Villa, he had spells on loan at fc|Notts County and fc|Northampton Town before ending his career with two-and-a-half seasons at Peterborough United. He also served in a coaching role in addition to being a player while with the club.

He joined First Division Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1979 primarily as a coach, following his former Peterborough manager John Barnwell. He remained a registered player but never played a first team game for the club. He stepped in as caretaker manager after Barnwell's eventual sacking in January 1982, taking charge of five games, losing all. Ross left the club soon after, joining Hereford United in a similar role, though here he did make 15 first team appearances during the 1982/83 season.

He moved to Iceland to manage Valur and later Keflavik before returning to the UK and later took up the reigns at Huddersfield Town in 1992/93. He subsequently managed Berwick Rangers in 1996.
