140 year old team picture: sitting to the left of the goalkeeper, the lad looks like a giant. Or a midget if he's standing.

I believe it's a Falkirk team group from that era.

 

 

Any relation @Bairnardo?

The finest photograph in the history of Scottish football. Ian McCall strides across the pitch to applaud the travelling support after a 1-1 draw between St Mirren and Ayr United at St Mirren Park. So much to unpack here...

- The ruffian mother balancing her toddler in one hand and flipping McCall off with the other.

- Humpty Dumpty guffawing in McCall's direction, gently caressing his gut.

- Ross Kemp suffering a Head's Gone and performing a 'Hawd Me Back' routine with the advertising board.

- Ryan Stevenson balancing his own toddler on his forearm like a waiter in order to remind McCall that the game finished in a 1-1 draw.

Remind me, what was the St Mirren fans beef with McCall?

You seen Connaghan play?

I was at the Airdrie v Celtic game when he attempted to throw the ball out, but threw it over his own shoulder in to the net.

He now delivers prescriptions which i found worrying.

30, 000 x £3.00/ticket = £90,000 not £150,000

Isn't there a SM poster from on here, on there?

It was £3 per ticket for Nelson's testimonial. League matches were £4.50 by 1986, so O'Leary's match was probably around that per ticket.

The portly Ray Bradshaw clone holding his belly I think?

My mistake, I thought the ticket referred to David O'Leary's testimonial.

A glum looking Stuart Cosgrove realising he's gone to see the wrong Saints on the left and Vladimir Putin next to red anorak man.

Marvin Bartley scores his first goal in Scottish Football. 

See that bandaged finger - has he damaged it through over-use, or is he just trying to make it fatter and more painful for the recipient?

Looks like it to me.

Dundee derby action from Dens Park in the 1980's. 

Eamonn Bannon closes down Bomber Broon while Jim Duffy looks on, the name of the Dundee player with the moustache behind Brown escapes me but, an educated guess is it Vince Mennie?

Nah, it’s Edward Colin James Hendry

Stuart Rafferty and Jim Smith are the two supporting characters.

That looks a bit like Tynecastle to me, pillars painted maroon etc. They played each other there in a semi in 1987.
