Jeez that could easily have been mistaken for the Wheatfield end of Tynecastle.

 

Willie Hunter - bottom far right

Goalkeeper is Frank Haffey. Tommy Bryceland next to Andy Penman in front row I think.

Celtic in Berlin, outside Berlin cathedral in 1922, to play a German  select

Looks like a Guinness World record attempt to see how many people can fit in a 1920s public transport vehicle.

Five QP grounds visible:
1867 - Queen's Park playing fields
1873 - Hampden Bowling Club
1884 - Cathkin Park
1903 - Hampden Park
2021 - Lesser Hampden

Only three of them are Hampdens in the sequence, but yes, I wasn't thinking of Lesser Hampden.

100 years since Partick Thistle won their one and only Scottish Cup, in 1920-21. John Blair, who scored the only goal in a poorly attended Cup Final against Rangers, is sitting cross legged in the front. 

The semi finals (Thistle's went to 3 replays) had been seen by 190,000 spectators, yet under 30,000 watched the final. Gate takings were just over £2,800, entrance price having been doubled to 2s (10p) from the previous season's final, where Killie triumphed (see killiepiemuncher's post above).
