I seem to recall at the time they were saying Johnston was the first visiting player to score a hat-trick at ibrox since (the) Alex Ferguson for St Johnstone in the early 70's. Is this correct? Only a year and a half late in responding to this, but prior to Johnston's hat-trick the last opposing player to score a hat-trick at Ibrox was Ally MacLeod - he scored all four for second tier St Mirren in a 4-1 win in the League Cup in August 1972. Ferguson was the one before that - his hat-trick for St Johnstone was in December 1963 rather than the early 1970s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen this clip before, glorious. My auld man, like most of his contemporaries, waxed lyrical about Billy Steel. After hearing God knows how many times about him putting a free kick right on to Alfie Boyd's napped for the winner it's fantastic to eventually see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 On this day in 1979 we woke up to find ourselves still top of the Premier League with a part time team. Our 2-1 win at Aberdeen kept us ahead of Celtic on goal difference for the second week running. This was the culmination of a strong month where we’d drawn at Ibrox, given Celtic their first defeat of the season and gotten to the League Cup semi final. Probably never happen again - with Morton or a part time team. Nor will we see the likes of Benny Rooney at the helm at Cappielow again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheJTS98 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) On this day in 1993: Struggling Hearts lost 3-2 in a home midweek defeat to high-flyiing Motherwell while Aberdeen beat Thistle at Pittodrie to go top of the league. 22 games into the 1993/94 season Aberdeen were sitting top, ahead of Rangers and Motherwell only on goal difference. Celtic were one point back and Hibs only one point behind them. Remarkable. Funny thing is, as exciting a season as it looked like at that point, it was not catching the imagination. Hearts' defeat to Motherwell was watched by around five and a half thousand (!) while Aberdeen went top of the league in front of a Pittodrie crowd of only 8,248. Very weird. Hibs v Motherwell the previous Saturday had drawn only 7,000. League leaders Aberdeen would go on to beat Killie at home on the Saturday before Christmas in front of just 10,000. On the same day Celtic v Hibs at Parkhead drew just 16,000 despite both sides being in touch at the top of the league, Celtic winning 1-0. Unimaginable today. Speaks well of the current crowds that these teams are getting in. Rangers, emptied out of the Champions League by Levski Sofia in the result that cost Tiger Tim his job at Parkhead, had taken only 6 points from 8 games (2pts for a win) between August and October. They had another wobble over Christmas, drawing at home to struggling Hearts as John Robertson's last-minute penalty earned a 2-2 draw. Rangers would go on to secure six-in-a-row in a relatively unconvincing manner, winning by three points from Aberdeen and four from Motherwell. The Celtic - Hibs game for anyone interested. Hearts 2-3 Motherwell and the 2-2 at Ibrox used to be on youtube, but I can't find them now. Celtic 1-0 Hibs Edited December 15, 2020 by TheJTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) On this day in 2001, during what was a seminal season for us and the greatest in my lifetime of Jags support (including the top 6 season), we beat St Mirren with a single goal from super sub Martin Hardie. It was a game which saw John Lambie take his place in the dugout in full highland dress as the club launched its new tartan. We'd won the second division the season previous and made it back to back promotions by winning Division 1 that season also. It was fairy tale stuff given we'd been on the brink of liquidation in 1997 and of relegation to the bottom league in 99/00. St Mirren had been relegated from the SPL (or whatever it was in 2001) and still had the quality throughout with the likes of Quitongo, Roy and Yardley and they were unbeaten against us at that point in the season. I recall a great game where Paul Walker missed a one on one, Kenny Arthur saved a penalty and BMMMH came on to score a late winner, creating scenes in a packed Jackie Husband stand. Hardie's reward for winning the game was a seat on the bench in our next match against Ayr, where again he came on in the last quarter and scored the winner. We even had a cup run that season, and we were always utter shite in the cups (even as a premier division team), so it was a class season all in. We seemed to win so many games at the death too. What a team. Edited December 15, 2020 by velo army 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheJTS98 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Eleven years ago tonight. I spent the evening 'enjoying' Hearts' 0-0 draw with United at Tynecastle. By the closing stages nobody was bothering too much about our game, just keeping up with Fir Park. Hearts had started the evening with an outside chance of still making Europe, and finished it without one. But it was completely over-shadowed. Just nuts. I've got a mate who is a Motherwell fan who left early. It's still not funny and he still won't talk about it.
