Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Andrew Paton (2 January 1923 – 8 February 2014)[1] was a Scottish football player and manager.

A centre half, Paton played primarily for Motherwell, with a short spell at Hamilton Academical late in his career, and he then managed Hamilton for nine years.[2][3] He won the Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup and Scottish Division Two with Motherwell – having joined as a teenager from the Junior level during World War II – and in 2006 was voted the club's 'greatest ever player'.[4] On 10 November 2020, it was announced that Paton was to be inducted into the Motherwell F.C. Hall of Fame.[5]

He appeared three times for Scotland;[4] his debut came in January 1946 against Belgium (considered official by the national associations, unlike two other fixtures he played in the same immediate post-war period) and his second and third appearances were made on a summer 1952 tour of Scandinavia.[4] At the time of his death in 2014 (aged 91), he was the oldest surviving Scotland international.[4]
