The WA had a quite a few Scots in their squad. My Dad played in Perth WA after emigrating. Played for the WA State Team a few times, most notably against a touring Wolves team in 1972. Will dig out the programme and check for other Scots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish international Jim McCalliog might have been in the Wolves side. Dundee toured the same year but didn’t travel to WA but they did on their 1978 tour. Aberdeen played WA in 1974. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDee1893 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 4 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: I was at Dens that night and the Buddies were absolutely outstanding. To be fair they had been the best team in the league by far all season. It was a shame the game was played midweek as the travelling support for a team about to clinch the league title was pretty small. They made themselves heard though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was one of the more calm and measured Sportsound pundits. Too old I guess now? There was an interview with him a few years back and the suggestion was that sometime around 2015/2016 he just stopped getting asked. I liked him too. Rob MacLean, David Currie, Pat Nevin and Craig Patterson. I liked that era of Sportscene tbqh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they mean "thug". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
