A centre-forward with a good eye for goal Walter Lees was signed by Celtic in September 1892 from Cronberry Eglinton.

He made his debut in a 3-1 league win at home to Clyde on October 1st but by 1893 he had joined English side Lincoln City. The Bhoys were accused of using illegal financial incentives to lure Lees back to Glasgow in May 1894.

As a consequence the English FA banned Celtic from playing any friendly games against clubs from south of the border. The matter was finally resolved in the October of that year after Celtic, concerned at losing out on lucrative friendly clashes with English clubs, agreed that Lees would return to Lincoln.
