1867 and 1872. For you, this might be everyday life. But if one takes a step back, there is so much history of Scottish football involved in games like this.

Yes, we seem to forget this, even me. I still remember, occasionally, the days in the mid-80s and BBC World Service's late Paddy Feeny, talking about "exotic" places like Kilbowie Park, Cappielow, or Boghead Park, i.e. places we visited in this "age". Or Molineux of the Wolves, Turf Moor, or the old Victoria Stadium of Stoke. Mind you, some of these place have gone now, like some teams too.

Just seen Scotty Arf has a hattrick today, his second Falkirk debut.

 

Delighted for him.

Best place to park tomorrow for the game? Is it worth giving the one opposite ibrox a go. I usually park larch road or farm road over the bridge.

1956/57 league match Queens v Rangers at Hampden, Queens leading 4-1 in the first half Hunter Devine scoring thrice. It would have been 5-1 if they hadn’t missed a penalty. Johnny Hubbard got two in the five minutes before halftime and Rangers got three more in the second half, 4-6.

Niven, Shearer, Caldow, McColl, Young and Davis was the defence. How did QP score one goal let alone four? Geordie Young’s last season might be the answer.

Reference Scott7's memory above, I can recall Queens Park visiting Ibrox for a Glasgow Cup semi-final in 1968-69ish. 

 

An attendance of several thousand would have been optimistic but, Rangers announced Colin Stein would be playing after serving his month long suspension. In those days, players were suspended for a tme period not a number of games. The Chair of the SFA Disciplinary Committee was Sir Robert Kelly and he was a vindictive auld cnut. I believe Sir Boab continues to suck cocks in hell?

 

Anyways, Colin, Colin Stein ran out the tunnel in front of 12,000 and expectation was a hat-trick at least. The game ended in a three-zip Rangers victory; however, Colin failed to notch. Goalkeeper, Gerry Neef got injured midway through the first period and since none of the two listed substitutes on the bench were Keepers, Colin Stein took both jersey and gloves for the rest of the game.

I was hoping to see Curtis, but Rice and Fernandes is a good start. 

 

It's a strong team.
