I'd say Firhill because of the fence separating the stand and enclosure, and also the pillars. I could be wrong but that's what I'm going on. As for the teams, I would guess that one would be Partick Thistle but I know that Firhill was often used as the venue for Maryhill Cup finals and other games so I wouldn't hazard a guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was guessing one of the teams was Motherwell, that's a Motherwellish strip, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-dee Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 not dens for sure. that strip with the 2 hoops is what montrose played in during the 60s but the badge suggests it isnt them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Pretty sure its Firhill, the supports from the stand roof down into the enclosure are still there to this day I believe and the wall at the rear of the steps look like it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thistle v Dundee was my educated guess, I vaguely remember seeing a picture of a 60's Dundee side in a strip like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like the other ones mentioned to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tally Ho was in Hamilton Jubilee Vaults was in Kinning Park i believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think it’s Dundee as the shirt isn’t dark enough plus the socks look as though they have a different colour stripe at the top. If it’s Motherwell or Partick why would they change strip when no colour clash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Could it be an Alloa strip? http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Alloa_Athletic/Alloa_Athletic.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The deep V-neck top ( and outsize club badge ) shouts c. late 50s to mid 60s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear what you're saying. Football boots seem wrong for late 50s/early 60s British teams. And shorts seem too short. Mid 60s? By the way, whoever it is, it's not Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Could it be foreign opposition? The badge doesn't look familiar. While you obviously do get players from various places with blond hair, it might also point to the side in question being Northern European. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pillars coming down in front of the enclosure wall, flat on the sides and latticed on the front/back, plus the stripy rear wall of the enclosure, all suggest Firhill. If it's not, it was built on the same model. Alloa had a strip like that 1960-62, but with white shorts - is there any chance Thistle would've worn an away top at home due to the clash? Anyway, the badge looks wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
