John Thomas O'Neil (born June 7 1971 in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire) is a Scottish professional footballer. He currently plays for Cowdenbeath.

Career

O'Neil, a right winger, began his career at Dundee United, where he progressed through the youth ranks. O'Neil's final match for United saw him score in their 1994 Scottish Cup final defeat against Motherwell, with his header reducing Motherwell's lead to 3-2. At the start of the 1994-95 season, he was signed by ex-United colleague Paul Sturrock, manager of United's Tayside rivals St. Johnstone. During his six years at McDiarmid Park, O'Neil became a regular, playing in nearly 200 league matches - over double his tally in the same time with United. In June 2000, O'Neil moved to Hibernian and it was during his spell with the Edinburgh club that O'Neil gained his only cap for Scotland, a start in a 1-1 draw against Poland in an away friendly on April 25 2001.cite web|url=http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=306192|title=Poland 1-1 Scotland, April 25, 2001| publisher=Soccerbase|dateaccessed=2008-02-24]

After three years with Hibs, O'Neil joined Falkirk in 2003, but swapped a second Scottish First Division title for a Second Division title by joining Gretna in January 2005. O'Neil won the First Division title with the borderers the following season, also collecting a second Scottish Cup runners-up medal in the defeat on penalties to Hearts. He left Gretna to join Cowdenbeath F.C. at the start of the 2007-08 season after another former Dundee United team mate Brian Welsh signed him.
