HibeeJibee Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Big scores as top sides go for goals Aberdeen, Celtic and Motherwell struck big scorelines in the league earlier. In the game of the day Rangers won at Rugby Park, where guest of honour was visiting Soviet premier Kosygin, and in doing so kept pace with Celtic who won comfortably at Somerset Park. Chalmers hat-trick for Celtic was joined by efforts from Johnstone and Hughes. Wilson broke the deadlock for Rangers ten minutes after half-time and although McIlroy equalised on 72 minutes, Willoughby struck the winner four minutes later. Over 40,000 people attended these two games in Ayrshire. There was a very poor attendance at Tynecastle to see Hearts edge-out St Johnstone. In the Second Division the relentless run of Morton continued with a gutsy victory at Coatbridge. Bobby Brown will take-over as Scotland manager in time to prepare for the forthcoming intermediate international in Newcastle. He will leave St Johnstone after their Scottish Cup tie next weekend. In news, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment of the United States constitution was ratified yesterday, dealing with presidential disability and vice-presidential succession.

HibeeJibee Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Double-headed attraction in Gorgie There is a double-bill of friendly action at Tynecastle tonight as Hearts host the Czechoslovakian side Slovan Bratislava. Hailing from the chief city of Slovaks, they exited the opening round of the Mitropa Cup this season, and are currently engaged on a tour of Britain. Before the match Hearts youngsters host a Scottish Youth XI in what should be an exciting evening of soccer. There is also friendly action at Kilbowie where Motherwell visit Clydebank.

HibeeJibee Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hearts not slovenly versus Slovan Hearts delivered a notable victory over Czechoslovakian outfit Slovan Bratislava at Tynecastle last night. They scored three goals in the opening half-hour, with an Alan Gordon brace followed by a strike from Donald Ford. Jokl later gained a consolation for the visitors in the second half. Before the game, watched by 9,000, the Hearts youth lost 3-0 to a select XI. Elsewhere there were four goals at Clydebank where the hosts drew 2-2 with Motherwell.

HibeeJibee Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Rangers lose, Morton win friendlies Rangers would have been in preparation for the Scottish Cup Second Round this midweek but after their capitulation at Berwick a brief tour of England provides some succour. It made a disappointing start at Stoke last night where the hosts won through 3-1. Morton demolished Cowdenbeath 6-1 in a domestic friendly at Cappielow. On the continent Inter Milan won the highly-anticipated clash with Real Madrid. Rapid of Vienna defeated Bayern of Munich. Greece beat Libya.

Ken Fitlike Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Celtic away at Ayr and Rangers (1872) away at Kilmarnock. On the same afternoon. Different times, but I imagine the roads and roadsides were boistrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Mixed night for clubs down south Several clubs not participating in the Scottish Cup travelled to England for friendlies last night but they experienced varied fortunes with results. Hearts had a very good evening at Deepdale where they won 3-0 against Preston North End. Dundee fought a hard encounter with Plymouth Argyle at Home Park but lost by the odd goal in five. Kilmarnock ventured to the Boleyn Ground, Upton Park but were unable to match an impressive West Ham United.

Back in the day the Record always gave the attendance at every match. Now I'm an auld git and my memories no as good as it should be but I remember reading in the Record the attendance at a Scottish cup tie in the 60's? Rangers v Morton 104,000. Was that the time that Morton had captured a boatload of Vikings? There were also attendances of 116,000 and 120,000 but I cannae remember whit games they were.

Would that not have been the League Cup Final of 1964?** There were attendances of well over 100,000 for Scottish Cup Finals back then, the Dons' finals of 1967 and 1970 were both over 100,000 IIRC.* * 126,000 and 108,000 respectively, according to Wikipedia. I thought there were more than that at the 1970 final, but what were a couple of thousand fans back then? Now it would be an excellent attendance for half the league clubs! ** 1963 League Cup Final - 105,000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
