Dundee Hibernian Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Scotland Schools in 1968. Quite a few of these guys turned senior, with varying degrees of success. Souness and J Robertson were the most famous, but Ally Robertson played for seasons at WBA totting up hundreds of matches before moving to Wolves for four years. Alec Bruce had two long spells at PNE sandwiching a season at Newcastle before moving to Wigan. Maitland Pollock went to Nottingham Forest, but had most success at Portsmouth before ending his career at QoS. Liverpool signed a young Brian Laing but released him two years later to Hearts: rarley playing there he also went to Dumfries. Finally Rab Cairns had two long spells at East Fife and also tunred out for Ayr and Berwick. Any others you recognise? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Butler Says Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 On 13/10/2023 at 08:59, Bogbrush1903 said: With Glasgow's favourite son Mo Johnston in the team, Partick Thistle took drastic kit measures to ensure young Mo remembered which Glasgow team he was currently playing for. If I remember correctly, Thistle wore this strip once or twice when the idea of “shirt sponsorship” was being mooted. Like an “advert for an advert”, it was to show prospective advertisers what their name on the shirt would look like. Now, out of context, yes it has a weird look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McDonald - later had a spell at Cappielow and split the support. To some he could do no wrong and if other players couldn't reach his wayward passes it was all down to their own shortcomings. To others he was a headless chicken who frequently wasted free-kicks. Alan Mahood spoke well of him, saying that "he protected the younger players" - so if anyone fouled one of our promising young talent, it was a sure thing that Mac would cut them in two within a few minutes and get booked for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 1988 Scottish Cup final Tommy Burns, Billy McKinlay who like his team mate Kevin Gallagher was constantly linked with Celtic in that era but never came to anything, Paul McStay and a blurry Frank McAvennie in the background who's two goals would win the cup on a baking hot day at Hampden. Eerily similar to the final three years earlier, Dundee United took the lead early in the second half, Celtic equalise with about 15 minutes left and scored the winner with a couple of minutes left, that final and the 1-0 win against Rangers the following year were both played in blazing early summer sunshine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
