VincentGuerin Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Just checked back on London Hearts. Never noticed this before, but Hearts were unbeaten in my first six away games at Celtic (2 wins 4 draws) and only lost one (a 4-0 pasting) of the first 8, from 1992-96. First ten, won 2, drew 6, lost 2. Compare that to the last ten. Also, one win and four draws in my first five visits to Ibrox, starting with a 1-1 draw in 1992, before eventually succumbing to a 3-0 defeat in 1998. If Gary McSwegan had scored his one-on-one at 0-0 instead of hitting the post, I'd maybe have made it to seven unbeaten, as we got a draw there later that season too. What a fucking record I had. Fucking hell. Edited December 13, 2023 by VincentGuerin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more recent than the Hearts spell in the 50s. I'm presuming you weren't at any of these Hearts matches? No, I am too young. My Dad was there though. Was not attempting a pissing contest with you, just saying. When you were at those games in the 70s and 80s it was more recent than those games are now. Point is both those periods are gone and will never return unfortunately, because the game has changed around us and it can never go back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly never be 14/15 again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only constant is Celtic fans moaning about referees when their beaten Yeah changed for the worse in many ways. Money ruined it for the spectator but I suppose it made it a lot better for the player. Can you even imagine what Dave MacKay, Alex Young, John Cumming, Willie Wallace and the Terrible Trio would be like with modern training and fitness regimes? Probably world class. No probably about it in a couple of cases. If they were about today though then HMFC fans would never see them playing for us either though. They would all be on a database and clubs that could afford far more wages than we can pay would have them on their books. Sad that Scotland invented the modern game, and produced some of the best players on the planet, yet now we pay the likes of Andy Halliday and Jorge Grant 4k a week. I was born in the wrong era I’m afraid. Even in the 80s though, what a team we had. Proper top players like Robertson, Levein and Colquhoun. Weir, Cameron and McCann in the 90s. It is depressing how the money has gone up and the standard has gone down. Scotland deserves better than this tedious two horse (one horse now?) race and the struggle to match wages with The English lower leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Reese Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Scotland really did invent what we know as football today, by the way. The game that England like to pretend was their baby, was mainly played by handling the ball. Scotland literally invented the modern game. How we have been left behind in this way is criminal really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollstar Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I have only been to Ibrox once, for a 0-0 in the league in 1987. We were in the left hand end (facing the pitch) of the old main stand, a few years before they started work on putting the third tier on it. We were in curvy wooden seats which probably dated from 1928. This was before the Durrant game - at half time I wandered most of the length of the concourse inside the main stand looking for a pie stall in my red and white scarf, entirely surrounded by Rangers fans, and got no hassle at all. My dad was from a Glasgow family that supported Queen's Park when the club could keep their place in the top tier. As a teenager he was at the "Ibrox Sports" a few times, I think he said they had 5 a side matches on the full size pitch, which were about as crap and unentertaining as one would imagine. I've been to Parkhead 3 times. First was for the 2-2 draw between Celtic and Aberdeen in 1987, beautiful Peter Nicholas lob and then a very late equaliser from Joe Miller not long before he joined them. I love the old-fashioned oval layout of Parkhead, Stamford Bridge, Hampden and Ibrox. I'm glad I got to experience the first two before they were rebuilt, and I will be sad whenever it goes at Hampden, even if it is so badly needed. No love for the club but I'd love to have seen Ibrox before it was rebuilt. The other times I was at Parkhead was for Scotland 6 Faroes 0 in some year that Hampden was unavailable because Robbie Williams was playing there, and for being part of the 43000 in 2014. Although I was at the 1987 league cup final, I think the only time I've seen either Aberdeen or Scotland lose in open play in Glasgow was the Queen of the South game at Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) I don't know our exact record, it's undoubtedly poor but I suspect it's no bad for a right diddy club, but the thread gives me a chance to mention that I've seen Falkirk beat Celtic at 5 (five) different grounds Edited December 20, 2023 by Ned Nederlander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
