Scottish Cup replay Alloa v Airdrie and Ballymena v Airdrie at Stranraer in the Texaco Cup. Neutral ground due the The Failed Statelet's inhabitants bomby activity. Airdrie won both. My Dad wouldn't let me off school to go. I've seen pictures of the Ballymena game but not Alloa. Dumbarton played a Scottish Cup replay at home to Brechin on a Wednesday afternoon in 1987 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Seem to remember Spartans playing Cowden at City Park midweek around 1990. In the middle of an icy spell. 0-0 draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your chairman or head of recruitment etc presented you with Mark McGhee as your marquee summer signing I doubt you would be doing cartwheels truth be told. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was part of Stirling Albion's world tour... They started in Greece, losing 2-0 to AEK Athens but they had won both the Greek and Balkan cups. This was followed by a 1-0 win over the Tehran XI. Finally they beat an All-Japan XI, presumably including foreigners, 3-1; then disposed of their national team 4-2 in Tokyo Olympic Stadium. Truly different era altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Jackie McNamara snr, Ally Mcleod and Des Bremner of Hibernian hanging about suspiciously at duty free at some airport on the way to a European tie in the 1970's, some quite magnificent big shirt collars on display. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Simon Donnelly looks about 12 here playing for Celtic whilst sporting a cut to the face in 1994, a very underrated player in my opinion who contributed some huge performances and goals in the season we stopped the ten in 1998, that strip though, the 'big' hoops was one I personally detested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Charlie Nicholas opens the scoring in Celtic's 2-1 win away to Ajax in the European Cup first round in September 1982, Frank McGarvey behind him joins the celebrations, a late winner from George McCluskey gave Celtic a 4-3 aggregate win, the following round saw a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Real Sociedad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must sound really odd 46 years later. Jesus. Reading that broke my heart a little bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
