[edit] Manchester City player?

A William George "Bill" Harper played in goal for Manchester City four times in 1923-24 (twice in February and twice in March). His birthplace is listed as Bothwell. It seems highly likely that this is the same player, yet according to the article he played for Hibs in that season's cup final, which makes me a little uncertain.
