I even heard it called the Railway End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a railway line ran behind what is now the Jock Stein Stand, crossed London Road and ran down to Dalmarnock where there are still remains. It was still there until at least the early-mid 80s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks around the late 'fifties, when the roof was placed over the back of the north end then floodlights installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 In terms of Scottish football clubs Celtic were fairly late to the floodlights party. Probably had to wait for the biscuit tin to be full before they bought a set 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea who any of the Scottish players are. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/south_africa/newsid_1996000/1996842.stm Think number 7 is Allan Johnston.

realmadrid Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 On 19/05/2024 at 22:35, paul wright scores said: That was the first international match my dad took me to - it was for my 8th birthday, which was close to that date. Coincidentally the last international match we went to together was Scotland v Cyprus March 2023 (54 years later) in the 1st qualifying game for this year's Euros in Germany. Sadly, he is no longer fit to go to Hampden and stand for the full game. I can still remember the booing when Gemmell took the penalty from the West Terracing. If standing for the whole game is not suitable for your Dad you should try the South upper, escalators to get up and down and people do sit down for the whole game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 From the Dee Archive 24 May 1923 Real Madrid 0 Dundee 2 Scenes of great enthusiasm were witnessed at Madrid yesterday afternoon when Dundee, continuing their Spanish tour, defeated the Real Madrid Football Club by two goals to nil. King Alfonso and Queen Victoria were present at the match, and, according to a Madrid message, Ross, who is skippering the Dundee team on their tour, and the captain of the Madrid Club were presented to the King and Queen after the game. The many thousands of spectators who watched the Dundee League eleven defeat their club demonstrated the interest taken in our winter sport in Spain. The football played by both sides was of the highest order, but the ability of the Dens Parkers to snap their chances before goal proved the undoing of the Madrid Club, who, playing well in the outfield, were disinclined to accept their opportunities at the correct moment. The scenes of excitement amongst the on lookers rivalled those at any stirring Scot tish Cup tie. The spectators were delighted at the precise and clever methods of the Dundee men, who were accorded a welcome which indicated the real sporting nature of Spanish football followers.
