Hailing from the small Ayrshire mining village of Muirkirk William Boland made just four appearances for the Hoops, all in the wartime Regional League Cup competition.

The inside-right moved to Celtic in September 1944 from Muirkirk Hibs after a succesful trial match at Parkhead. Renowned for a powerful shot he made his debut in a 0-0 draw with Clyde on February 24th the following year. His first goal for the Bhoys was a winner at Partick Thistle on March 10th.

He was to lose his starting slot to Patrick McAuley soon after though and after a prolonged spell with the reserves Boland was eventually freed in December 1945.
