Flybhoy 4,754 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 It is definetely Celtic Park from circa late 60's. We often wore a dark green strip then when some teams had a lot of white in their kit, the Celtic player pictured is Jim Brogan, not sure of opponents but im going to have a guess at Ayr Utd ? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim bhoy 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks, I thought it was Clyde and Celtic player was Willie O'Neil but Jim Brogan looks a good shout 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illgresi 882 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 Going by this, it looks like Clyde c. 1965-68. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksgranda 12,182 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 I thought it was Clyde, too, but wasn't sure who the other team was! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bold Rover 3,383 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 The first Celtic game I ever attended, taken as a boy by my cousin, was Celtic 3 Clyde 0, I think in 1966. That was my immediate thought seeing the picture. I remember Celtic wearing the all-green kit and the red haired player in the team was too big to be Jimmy Johnstone. (It was Chris Shevlane; that's not him in the picture.) Harry Hood was playing for Clyde. Clyde's strip was like that, and like Jim, above, I thought the Celtic player was Willie O'Neill. However, the suggestion of Jim Brogan is, I think, correct, so it was a bit later in the sixties. Also: the collar of the away team's shirt looks black and Ayr's strip was like that. in other words - I'm not sure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Ayr United played in black & white hooped shirts around then as they definitely wore hooped shirts when they played Dundee at Dens Park on a Friday night in March 67 as Dundee United were at home in the Scottish Cup QF on the Saturday. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking again at the picture, the shirt collar isn't as dark as the black shorts - so Clyde it is! Any Clyde fans recognise the big striker? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bold Rover 3,383 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Amazing, Jim, that you should post this. I remember it well - my first visit to Parkhead with my now dead older cousin. Memories of the game: I thought Jimmy Johnstone was taller than I appreciated as the teams came out, only to be advised that the ginge was Shevlane. It was a 3-0 romp. Do you have any more details of the match? Edited February 7, 2017 by Bold Rover 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any more details of the match? Celtic vs Clyde in the 66 League Cup was a 6-0 victory for Celtic. It was the following season in a league match that saw Celtic win 3-0 with Shevlane playing for Celtic and Hood for Clyde. Celtic team that day was Simpson, Shevlane, Gemmell, Murdoch, McNeill, Clark, Chalmers, McMahon, Wallace, Auld, Lennox and Hughes as the sub. Clyde team. Wright, Glasgow, Soutar, Anderson, Fraser, McHugh, McFarlane, Hood, Gilroy, Staite, Hastings and Steele as the sub. You'd have been one of 37,000 people there seeing Celtic unfurl the league flag and like the League Cup game of the previous season, we also wore our all green strip.

Sort of good manners to change to accommodate your guests. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
