These must be Rangers fans in the photograph, for some reason Maurice Malpas got them for his testimonial (perhaps the main one being they brought a pile of supporters, boosting his testimonial fund).

 

i wouldn’t say they brought a pile of fans unless they had another section apart from behind the goals 

maybe it was mobbed but this picture was taken with 15 mins to go 🤔

Picture appears to have been taken well before the start of the match: the crowd was around 12,000.

That's right, it's my own pic. Think the bulk of the crowd were along the side but can't remember if there was segregation.

I was at that one.

Incredible to think it was 30 years ago.  All I really remember of the game is that it was entirely forgettable.

Roberto Baggio had his ribs broken late on by, I think, Maurice Malpas and he did a fair bit a whining afterwards, wheeling out stereotypes about how they had been expecting to get booted off the park by us, etc. Mamma Mia.

I was there 2. My memory was Alan McLaren completely marking Baggio out the game and having an outstanding game. I was also at Brockville a few months later when Falkirk beat Hearts 6-0 and aforementioned Alan McLaren was absolutely destroyed by Big Crawford Baptie who scored 2 goals.

Aye, it’s a funny old game.

In what was by no way a publicity stunt (:lol:) whatsoever a 40 something Russell Latapy makes his only appearance for Edinburgh City against Irvine Meadow in the Scottish Cup. 

I think he disrupted the team as City might have had a chance to beat Medda but they lost and missed out on a lucrative trip to Easter Road in the next round. 

On the other hand a load of nostalgic Hibees turned up to the game to see Latapy play leading to a 4 figure gate which put a smile on the City treasurer's coupon.

Picture 3 of 3

Programme from the Dons v Stirling Albion match from 1959/60. Going into the match the teams were 16th and 17th in the First Division respectively, with the Dons on 9 points and Albion on 8. Arbroath were bottom with 5. The Red Lichties were to gain a point at Pittodrie the following week in a 0-0 draw.

Stirling's train broke down, and the Dons played a 5 a side game until the match eventually kicked off at 4,10pm. Aberdeen were coming into this on the back of a 5-1 defeat at Starks Park, and Albion on a 3-1 loss at Easter Road, after drawing 2-2 with Celtic the previous week at Annfield.

Stirling scored first, but the Dons went on to win 3-1.

 Come the end of the season Albion finished in 17th with 22 points, the Dons scrambled to 15th on 28 points after winning their last 4 matches, including a 2-0 win at Annfield, Stirling lost their last 4 games. Their 5th last match was a 1-1 draw at Parkhead.

Is that the recently departed Norrie Davidson listed at No 9?

I can just see you stepping out in those Heavy Derby Tweeds.

That's Scottish Internationalist and ex Albion, Celtic, Hearts, St Johnstone etc John Colquhoun's dad, also John Colquhoun, number 7 for Stirling.

Yet another John Colquhoun played briefly for Stirling Albion in the early 90s, who may have been a cousin, prior to the Internationalist Colquhoun, now a football agent, returning to finish his career, this time for Albion at Forthbank, having left the club from Annfield.
