Fatima went on to make her debut against Killie in the league cup at Ibrox. Rangers narrowly won the game 1-0 and Souness called Tommy Burns a thug in his post match interview after Tommy had turned Souness's latest hammer thrower inside out and then ran over the top of him as he lay flat out after missing TB with a wild tackle. Killie, newly promoted to the 1st division filled the bottom of the Broomloan that night. Tommy Burns went on to become Kilmarnock Manager and end Rangers 18 month unbeaten run at Ibrox, Terry Hurlock went on to play Dirty Dens wife in Eastenders.

Flybhoy Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Billy Bremner and Jimmy Johnstone leave the field after Scotland beat England 2-0 at Hampden in 1974, a few days after Jinky and his rowing boat incident at Largs, he's wearing the England goalkeeper shirt he swapped with Gordon Banks.

It was Peter Shilton. Obviously had no hard feelings with Jinky, after having given his hair a wee ruffle in celebration following our second goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 This doesn’t really belong on here, but it is about the History Of Scottish Football, sort of. I was listening to the latest Aberdeen By The Minute Podcast, and the bit of historic commentary that they used at the start of the podcast was Neale Cooper’s goal from the 1982 Scottish Cup Final. After the goal, while Denis Law is giving his take on what happened, in the background you can hear the Rangers support giving their “You’re goin’ tae get your f*ck*ng heads kicked in” chant. I can’t remember when that particular ditty stopped being fashionable. Haven’t heard it for decades. See also - “You’re going home in a Glasgow* ambulance”. *Change town/city as appropriate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggysBeard Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I learned about this the other day, surprised it's not more known. Mohammed Salim (Celtic, 1936). The first player from India to play for a European club side. As seen in the bottom images, he played barefoot. Never speaking English, he came over on a boat with his brother who could speak English. His brother managed to persuade Willie Maley to give Mohammed a trial despite the fact that he insisted on playing barefoot. He impressed and played in two friendlies barefoot. He was given a competitive debut against Hamilton Academical when he scored in a 5-1 win. After a 7-1 win over Galston in August 1936 he was dubbed the Indian Juggler. Couple of reports from that match..... "Ten twinkling toes of Salim, Celtic FC's player from India hypnotised the crowd at Parkhead last night in an Alliance game with Galston. He balances the ball on his big toe, lets it run down the scale to his little toe, twirls it, hops on one foot around the defender, then flicks the ball to the center who has only to send it into goal. Three of Celtic's seven goals last night came from his moves. Was asked to take a penalty, he refused. Said he was shy. Salim does not speak English, his brother translates for him. Brother Hasheem thinks Salim is wonderful – so did the crowd last night." "Abdul Salim, Celtic's Indian International trialist, tickled the crowd at Celtic Park on Friday with his magnificent ball manipulation. In his bare feet he was a conspicuous figure but this was further emphasised by his dark skin against the white and green of the Celtic strip. His play was top class. Every ball he touched went exactly to the place he wanted it to. Not one inch was it out. His crosses into goal were simply shrieking to be nodded into the net. I wouldn't like to have calculated the score had McGrorybeen playing ..... [Danny] Dawson missed a penalty kick which Salim, despite the invitation of Alex Millar, refused to take." He became homesick and was determined to return to India. Celtic offered him a charity game promising him 5% of the total gate in return of staying at Celtic. Mohammed refused and asked for the proceeds, £1,800, an incredible sum at the time to be donated to local orphans. And he was off back home to Calcutta. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but the photo is from the Scottish Cup replay in 1971 At Pittodrie. First match was 1.1 at Tannadice and Aberdeen won the replay 2.0. The crowd at Pittodrie was 29,000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Since being introduced to the game in the 70/80s, Scottish football has much to thank the humble traffic cone for, helping both spectators and traffic safely get to and leave games. This is an example of a traffic cone - You can also get them in red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that the shed in background was too wide to be the old Provost Road End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did India not withdraw from a World Cup around 1950 for being forbidden for playing barefoot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Did India not withdraw from a World Cup around 1950 for being forbidden for playing barefoot? They did indeed. The same year we withdrew as we weren’t British Home Champions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
