The final match against whatever the Russians were called at that point was bizarre

The side was, as already observed, called the CIS - the Commonwealth of Independent States.  A great many of its players weren't Russian.

No wonder. He was a beautiful, beautiful man. 

Here he is scoring for Motherwell against Celtic in a league match at Hampden.

That Celtic strip is truly embarrassing.

Just realised there's another Motherwell player behind Tommy Coyne.  Every chance it's Paul Lambert.

A few Celtic pictures I came across on Twitter, Murdo McLeod scores against dead Rangers in the 1982 League Cup final, Roy Aitken leads the team out away to Werder Bremen in 1988 with Frank Mcavennie, Mark McGhee and Tommy Burns behind him and Paul McStay in action against Cologne in 1992, a 2-0 defeat in the first leg was turned around with a 3-0 win at Celtic Park, a very rare for that period European glory night, normal service was resumed in the next round with a fisting from Borrusia Dortmund.

Can't help noticing that Aitken, Burns and McGhee seem to be really in the zone, while McAvennie is just looking around in case there's any talent.

'' The games going downhill fast. We're being ripped off with prices going up to 1/3d, Smithers is getting paid a ridiculous £27 a week, the clubs starting to sell supporters scarves as well as rosettes and St Johnstone are only getting crowds of 8,000 in the top division. We're the laughing stock of Europe.''
