O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ye, also same night as rangers v Bayern in Cup winners cup semi. Think there was over 75,000 at Celtic park and over 80,000 at ibrox that night. Correct, I remember it as if it was 49 years ago. Whatever anyone thinks of the OF, and don't get me started...., for two teams from one city to be contesting the semi-finals of Europe's then premier tournaments was really quite something. These were the days when failure to at least reach the QF's for the Old Firm was regarded as a disaster. Great times to witness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sticking with Kilmarnock and big Cup Final crowds. 136,274 watched the 1952 Final and apparently Dundee losing 0-4 was a shock result. So Kilmarnock, William lifted the Cup for Motherwell. Motherwell did go on to win it a second time unlike their opponents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Partick Thistle v Motherwell at Firhill as the Jags in change strip. Would this be 1969/70? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be 1969/70 when we got relegated at the foot of the first division. Scottish First Division 1969/70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how there's the famous minutes of the Queen's Park meeting where they decide to build the biggest football stadium in the world, well does it mention which idiot then said "oh and let's put a running track around it"? If so, how difficult would it be to track down a living descendant in order to bestow a posthumous slap in the face upon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxburgh was a teacher at my primary school at the time, although he never took the team because of his commitments on a Saturday. Peter Weir and Alex McLeish played for the school team that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last full card of Christmas Day fixtures was in 1971. Of course Dundee couldn't play Third Lanark by then, and had to settle for a 0-0 draw with St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Brown was around 3 or 4 years previously too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - football was a lot cheaper then, less tribal – and I believe that even cup finals were pay at the gate for the enclosures. So you'd get a lot of supporters just turning up for the event.
