38 years ago tonight at Hampden, Scotland hounded that year's European Championship runners-up, Spain, 3-1 in front of 74,299. The last (likely ever) 70k+ crowd at a Scotland home game.

I was there with my wife, who was my fiancée at the time, in the North Enclosure. Every time the Kenny Dalglish goal is shown she reminds me. What a game it was and you just took that type of performance by Scotland for granted back then.

One of my memories of that game is the Spanish manager calling the Scot's performance a 'masterpiece of technique'. 

And aye...it was pretty much par for the course back then...

I watched that game in a pub called the Mill House in Stillorgan, a suburb of Dublin, in the company of two Scots. We had a great day+night. The following morning wasn't particularly enjoyable, alas. 
The Mill House still going strong, cracking pub. We stay in Stillorgan any time we are going to Leopardstown races

Main Stand and Johnnie Walker Stand, probably 1977 1994. Scanned from an old slide so poor quality.

I used to stand in the Johnnie Walker terracing when I first went to Rugby Park.  God knows why now as you were miles from seeing the action at the other end.

Tannadeechay in 1991. Mo Malpas testimonialimage.thumb.jpeg.9eba43cd59e329a91bf6085b62d16091.jpeg

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).

Malpas was quite a 'Marmite' player for some fans, including me, but the type of guy we're missing presently. Some argued that rule changes in 1992, were detrimental to his performances, but that was more in reference to his opposition appointed nickname of 'Maurice Backpass'.

He was the only part time player in our League winning side of 1983, and was awarded a second testimonial match in 2000, having played under 5 different Tannadice managers.

To play for so many managers is not that a difficult task these days at Tannadice, Peter Pawlett, signed in 2019, has already managed that.

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.
