You sure that game was on live TV? I remember the Rangers v Bayern game was live on TV the same night - amazing that 2 semi-finals were played at the same time in the same city. Police Scotland wouldn't allow it nowadays. Was it not the case they went over to Parkhead after the Rangers game had finished? If I remember correctly II think the ball reached Ibrox when it finally landed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the game you beat them at Tynecastle which allowed Killie to get promoted instead of Hearts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it was as I have a distinct memory of seeing Dixie miss the penalty live on the telly. Off course childhood memory is not reliable and it may have just been highlights. I would love to know either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well have been, we had a great team at that time and Davie Hay was pivotal in our 1st division title win. If he hadn’t left for America he potentially could have been one of our greatest ever managers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember for a few years after that, kids playing football all called blootering the ball wildly over the bar as "doing a Dixie Deans" Must have been an unbeleivable time to be a Celtic supporter though - not only winning the European Cup but getting to a final and a semi a few years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supported Motherwell, however, I had so much respect for Dixie as a player. I felt for him when he missed that penalty in such a dramatic fashion as you would have bet your life on him scoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not only has somebody dredged up a photo of the last day league-decider loss to Killie, but also a last day promotion decider loss to 'Well ! Cheers guys. Give me a shout after the obligatory last day Dens Park league loss pics and the New Years day 73 pics have had an airing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t show me Donald Fords last minute winner against us in the Texaco Cup Semi Final at Fir Park. It still hurts to this day. I met him years later and he was a really nice guy, I even mentioned to him how much he hurt me as a kid that fateful night sadly he was only doing what he was paid to do, score goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a broadcasting rights restriction that got in the way of televising the whole of Celtic’s more important European Cup game, as opposed to Rangers’ Cup Winners Cup game ? Or did STV have first choice and it just reflected their management’s preference or their perception of the bigger potential audience ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really wasn't much else, apart from the pictures or the boozer, to do in those days. Interesting that a Hibs team in the middle of winning 3 league titles still only got a crowd 2/3 of Hearts. Always the wee team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic turnout though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
