William Omand (14 September 1931 – 2005) was Scottish amateur footballer who made over 250 appearances in the Scottish League for Queen's Park as an outside left.[1][3] He later became president of the club.[4] Omand represented Scotland at amateur level and played for touring team Middlesex Wanderers.[4][5] As a player, he was described as "something of a reversion to the traditional Scottish inside forward, hunched over the ball and driving towards the opposition goal".[4]
