Matthew Dickie (19 August 1873 – 30 December 1959) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper and is best known for his time with Rangers. He also played for Renton and Clyde.[2]

Dickie made his Rangers debut against St Mirren in a 5–1 home win at Ibrox on 15 August 1896. He played 126 league matches from a possible 132 during one sequence and went on to make 175 first class appearances over his eight years at the club, and 275 in total.[3]

Dickie won four Scottish Football League Championships (including the perfect season of 1898–99 in which he played in every match),[4] three Scottish Cups, five Glasgow Cups and two Charity Cups with Rangers, and represented Scotland three times.[5]
