Joseph Mason (17 August 1940 – 26 September 2019) was a Scottish professional football player who is best known for his time with Greenock Morton and Rangers.

Playing career

Mason made his professional debut for Kilmarnock after joining from junior side Lugar Boswell Thistle. He made the bulk of his league appearances when he moved to Morton in May 1966. Mason joined Rangers in October 1972.
