Aberdeen were booed off the park for an abysmal performance, although winning the match 2.1. Exactly two months later on 11th April, Martin Buchan was holding the Scottish Cup above his head at Hampden. The strip, nicknamed our Candy Stripe strip, was only worn on a couple of occasions and it came a season before the all blue one, which I really liked. We wore the blue and white stripes because, for some obscure reason, the ref decided that the red diagonal stripe on the Clydebank kit was a clash with the all red. Our away kit was unsuitable so we had to borrow a kit from a Junior side, possibly Lewis United, as a one-off. The candy stripe kit, which we wore in the mid sixties was a light blue with two red and white stripes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ally should have been off. We also got fined £1000 at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Possibly Third Lanark, I never saw The Dons play against Thirds.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that I knew everything from around 1963 onwards, and quite a bit from before that as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightfly Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 George Best of Man Utd in action v Partick Thistle in a testimonial match at Firhill in 1973, unsure of the Jags player honoured but I'm sure this was the year United were relegated. Found a photo with a caption, with the Thistle player named as "Rae". Alex Rae ? I was thinking more like Jackie Campbell (from my memory of him on my football cards). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I remember was Brazil fans in the old North stand putting up letter cards spelling 'Brazil' and getting jeered for doing so.

neildrake Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 JRP Gordon should have been banned after the 1976 Scottish Cup semi final. Motherwell 2-0 up. Rangers break up field and Derek Johnstone falls over and from 50 yards away Mr Gordon gives a penalty. Cue the fight back and Rangers win 3-2. Every Motherwell fan of that vintage spits every time Gordon's name is mentioned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Motherwell fan of that vintage spits every time Gordon's name is mentioned. Hear! Hear! - Total bell end and not only thought to be a cheat, but found to have been one. Always wondered how much he got to swing that one. Should never have refereed again after that performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thomson dived low to gather the ball as the Rangers striker raced in on goal, his momentum caused a collision which resulted in a severe head injury for the Celtic goalkeeper which, sadly he died from in hospital.
