James Oswald (3 January 1868 – 26 February 1948) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre forward. He took part in the 1891 FA Cup Final for Notts County (scoring their goal in a 3–1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers). During his career he also played in Scotland for Third Lanark and St Bernard's, winning the Scottish Cup with both clubs either side of his spell in England, in 1889[2] and 1895.[3] He also spent four years with Rangers (1895 to 1899), during which time they claimed two Scottish Cups and a Scottish Football League title, but Oswald was a reserve and his involvement in these wins was minimal.[4] He then finished his career at Morton.[5]
