Luigi Macari and Willie Morgan are caught off guard, Shades and Doyle seem doomed up before they fix half smiles for the main pic. Within 13 years of this pic being taken, both Schaedler and Doyle would be dead and those (last two far right bottom row) seem conscious of the fate that awaits them in this off guarded moment. Although more likely, they are both newbies with Scottish clubs outside the gruesomes, so they are probably of little interest to the Anglos and players who have been around the squad for awhile. I never knew Tom McAllister had any involvement with the Scottish squad. He went on to spend the whole of the 1980s as Phil Parkes understudy at West Ham United. This is a very unlikely bunch of players assembled in 1973. Even George Graham was rarely with the Scottish squad. I wonder what game they are preparing for here. Perhaps one against Wales or Northern Ireland in the British Home Championship... I'm surprised at how average in height Jim Holton looks compared to his fellow tall peers at the back row. I always thought Davie Hay was a 5'10 man... Edited May 11, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A referee" Macari has just noticed Morgan picking out a bogey. It's an interesting squad. Of the 22 players pictured I reckon only 9/10 were in the World Cup squad the following year (and none of the 3 goalkeepers pictured). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, these Ceefax pages memorabilia has a nice retro feel if not particularly accurate. I actually have a childhood memory of Ceefax (and it was definitely Ceefax rather than Oracle) which gives you an idea of what a sad individual I am. I loaded the Scottish Premier Division results page in December 1985 (I think, I'm pretty sure it was a postponed match from the Skol Cup final with Hibs) when the Dons were playing Clydebank at Kilbowie. I stood aghast as the result displayed Clydebank (Lanarch, Dickson) 2-1 Aberdeen (Black). Edited May 12, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they turned the best right winger in the country into a decent cental midfielder. What a waste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed him off the list, must've been cause he wasn't looking Harvey, Blackley, J Johnstone, Jordan, Lorimer, Allan, J Stewart, Buchan, Cormack, Ford, Hutchison, Law and McQueen are missing from the 74 squad. The teams for the Home Internationals v Wales and N Ireland that year seem to include those players so must've been from the build up to them... http://www.rsssf.com/tabless/scot-intres1975.html Edited May 12, 2021 by Lurkst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Interesting to see Johnny Doyle in that squad. At the time he was a Scotland u23 p!ayer, and won his on!y full cap in 1975. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Peter McCloy's caps are the key to solving this mystery. Joe Jordan must've joined the squad later perhaps this photo was taken earlier in the week and Jordan met up with squad at the end of that week... EDIT: Actually, I'm wrong and Lurkst is correct. This pic was taken around the period of the Home International matches in May 1975 https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/players/?pid=1336&lid=1 Edited May 12, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
