Career


Fleming made his Rangers debut against Dundee in October 1925 and scored in a 2–1 defeat at Ibrox. His last appearance was in October 1934 against Queen of the South.[6] In one memorable match he got possession of the ball in defence and worked his way down the pitch, avoiding all tackles, to score a spectacular goal.[citation needed]

He holds the record for the most Scottish Cup goals scored by a Rangers player, with 44,[7] as well as the record of having scored the most goals in a single match for Rangers, scoring nine times in a 14–2 Scottish Cup win against Blairgowrie in 1934.

He represented Scotland three times between 1929 and 1930, scoring three goals.[5][1] Two of these goals were scored in a 5–2 defeat by England at Wembley.[8]
