Jacksgranda Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Dundee Hibernian said: Henry McNeil (single 'L') was Moses' brother, and he played for Queen Park as a forward in 1875. Moses was at Rangers at that time, but it's not beyond credibility that this was him as well on the team list, as guest appearances were common in the early days of modern football. But seeing as M. McNeil appears to be a left footer, it's maybe not him................... And he was usually a forward. Although he is wearing blue and white stockings...

We should have won the Double that season. George Farm dropped Alex Ferguson for the final for some reason and he's said that due to that he's always personally told players in advance if they aren't going to be playing in the Cup final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammered Celtic 5-1 in the rearranged league match played after the final. Bittersweet revenge that. ETA: Just looking at your results there, that home draw with St Johnstone the week before the cup final cost you the title, far superior goal difference to Killie and Hearts.

The League was decided on goal average that season and had Dundfermline not dropped that point they would have won it on both goal difference and goal average calculations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I can remember watching the Dons losing 3-0 to Hearts on the second last day and then all the build up to the last match at Tynecastle between them and Killie, but didn't realise that Dunfermline were so close to winning it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I was a month off turning 4, so sadly have no knowledge of it. Until you posted your message today I never realised Dunfermline lost in in their 2nd last league game. Quite sure my father has long forgotten that too as he's never mentioned it to me before.

Odd one that. Rangers lost to Aberdeen on the last day of the season but Celtic who finished in 5th beat Hearts at Parkhead to give Rangers the title. Both cheeks...! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen needed to win to make sure of avoiding relegation. 2 teams went in the last day on 26 points, Dunfermline and Falkirk. Aberdeen had 27, and Clyde and Raith Rovers 28 . Results: Falkirk 2 Raith Rovers 2, Dunfermline 10 Partick Thistle 1, Rangers 1 Aberdeen 2, Kilmarnock 4 Clyde 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Graft Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Stewart Kennedy in goal for Stenhousemuir in the early 70's. To the left of the photo is the end of the supporter's hut which housed a pie stall. The stand, which is long demolished was apparently known as the " Doll's House" although I don't recall the locals using that term 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
