Richard Gough and Roy Aitken celebrate Gough's 69th minute winner. A game that I remember for the racist abuse, sang loud and clear (I think it was to the tune of a Boney M song)by a large section of the home crowd and heard on TV, to the English right-back Viv Anderson. Embarrassing and shameful. Edited October 27, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing and shameful. I was in the Rangers end and John Barnes was also getting it thick, straightforward monkey chants though. Absolutely disgusting and fortunately mostly consigned to the dustbin of history. Edited October 27, 2021 by Lurkst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure whether they could both enter? They weren't both allowed to participate in World Cup qualifying until 1962, and in Olympic qualifying until 1968... before that they were required to playoff with each other (at first behind closed doors at semi-secret venues) with whoever won then entering qualifying as 'Germany'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might explain it. I was surprised to read recently East Germany never fully entered the Olympics til the 1970s, there was a combined German Olympic team even after the Berlin Wall went up! Anyway, not much to do with Scottish football, so here's the only image I can find of Kilmarnock playing in East Germany, versus Lokomotive Leipzig in 1967... Leipzig has defeated Eusebio's Benfica in the previous round, but couldn't overcome the mighty Killie in the quarters. In fact they had a 0% success rate against Scottish clubs, being knocked out by Hibs two seasons later and Hearts in 1976.

Graham Clark went onto play for Montrose and was an Aberdonian. Billy MacKay was the Oldco player. Both Cowie and MacKay were on the Hearts bench for the 1986 Scottish Cup Final.

All the players here are either born in 1960 or 1961. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely Murdo's brother Ally. He'd already established himself as a first team player by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 A couple of hundred National Front members turned up at Hampden for the 1985 Rous Cup match between Scotland and England and, by all accounts got a few well deserved slaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
