tamthebam Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This pic has apparently been on Twitter: Motherwell v Hibs. The photo can be dated to between 1954 and 1959. Those lights on the stand were originally erected as training lights in 1954 before being used in full games. In 1959 a gale blew part of the roof off the enclosure and the more familiar Fir Park lights replaced them. Sharp eyed Hibee historians might be able to identify the player in the middle - I wonder if it was Jackie Plenderleith but I'm probably wrong. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Paul Sturrock trying not to fall on his arse at a snow bound Tannadice against Neuchatel Xamax with, naturally a white ball. Paul Sturrock executing one of his wonderful trademark turns. He was a brilliant player 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Abbey Road era' Baxter in contrast to his more svelte 'Hard Day's Night' prime I bought “GOAL” every week. An upmarket “SHOOT” if I remember correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Absolutely scary seeing all those people perched on the top of a stand roof. Could you imagine it these days? Up there with flares, military grade detonators, Palestinian flags and huge banners threatening the BoD if they fcuk up 10 in a row. Carnage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game was played in the midweek after Dunfermline won the SC in 1968 , the title was already assured for Celtic and Dunfermline paraded the Cup pre-match. There's a pic of Roy Barry , with the cup , and Billy McNeil , leading the teams out with their arms over each others shoulders ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it very hazily from the telly and all those bodies climbing up the pylons. Can't remember if it was on the late news or more likely, a midweek edition of Sportscene/Scotsport. Celtic were level on points with Rangers but had a much better goal average. Rangers had almost gone through the season undefeated until they lost in the last minute of the last game, 2-3 v Aberdeen at Ibrox (played at the same time as the Cup Final). It was two points for a win back then so Celtic took the title by 2 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrTroopMajor Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Ayr United saving printing costs by printing one programme to cover four games (2012) Soon to be ex-QOTS boss Allan Johnston scores for Sunderland in 1998. John Baird scores to put Airdrie United 2-0 up in the Playoff Final at Somerset in 2009. Ayr came back to win 3-2 on aggregate. Main Stand at Somerset before the addition of the Family Stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
