My mate played for Clyde that day....We drew at Douglas park and won the replay...Was brilliant seeing one of your best pals playing against your heroes
77 possibly 78 - my folks had just de-imigrated from South Africa so was a bit late for my first game with my Dad - I think it may have been an evening game - all I remember was dropping a full size bottle of Irn Bru ( or was it Tizer) on my toe and greetin until we went home early.....
Anyway the last game with my dad was the Uefa cup final in Seville (and that is a story) - sadly Archibald Allan Garrity has passed away and we didnt go to enough games together

Can't remember the opposition. Was about mid sixties. Ah got a comic and packet of crisps while ma Da and his pals went furra a couple o pints before the game.
My only appearance in the Jungle was the Rapid Vienna game. Guy threw a bottle, missed the Rapid player by three feet, went doon anyway. The rest is history.

Achilles mother Thetis, held him by his ankle,and dipped him into the river styx when he was a baby,leaving him with his only vulnerable spot..........jist sayin' Hic,A loved the scene in Jason and the Argonauts when he unscrews Achilles heel and the blood comes spewing oot….apparently that's where the term Achilles heel came from

1988. Boxing Day friendly versus Red Star Belgrade. 2-2. I was so young that I credited both goals to "the best player in the world", Frank Macavennie. In reality, Frankie probably didn't have to play friendlies, contractually - he would have been clubbing in London - and so it was actually a future bitter Sky pundit (who was actually a hell of a good player for us the season before) who scored both goals.
Red Star had some team: they played us off the park and would win the big cup two and a half years later, sparking a wave of Serbian nationalism and a genocidal war.
