That might have been the last game against ICT.

Yer actual Tam T Bam is standing in the away end if that's the case

It is. There's a couple of aerial shots from that day on the go.

I was there too, natch. And the fucking ball was about 6 feet over the line before the cut back. 😡

Full time at Windsor Park in November 1981 and a goalless draw against Norn Irn sees Scotland qualify for the following years World Cup in Spain along with the hosts who made sure of their place by beating Israel in the final game, mental to think the three teams who missed out in that group were Sweden, Portugal and Israel, that would be the ultimate group of death these days and testament to how us and the North of Ireland really punched above our weight in international football back then.

An exhausted looking Lou Macari celebrates his goal with hat trick hero Dixie Deans in Celtic's 6-1 win over Hibernian in the 1972 Scottish Cup final, the hoops made a habit of knocking Hibs for six in Cup finals in that era.

It wasn't all one way; about two months later Hibs put five past Celtic to lift the Drybrough Cup.

Aye, they won a league cup final against Celtic in the 1970s as well I believe, sure my dad said that is the only major final they have ever won against Celtic, quite some statistic that given the long history of both clubs.

I didn't realise that Jim McLean was assistant to Jock Stein for a time.

The irony seems to be that the Accies would have gone out of business had anyone been bothered enough to turn up to vote for their dissolution.

Having already renewed their Scottish FA membership, and therefore having a Scottish Cup tie ready, they staggered on long enough for an upturn.  Wonder if any of the Hamilton Hibs players went over because there's nothing more about them.  (Glasgow Hibs certainly came a-poaching, maybe Celtic did too.)
