Who Are The Jags Players In This Photo?

Jackie Cambell, Dave McKinnon and Ian Gibson (not sure about the Thistle player furthest away - Alex O'Hara?) against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park - perhaps the 0-0 or 1-0 cup game in the ludicrous marathon of 4 games in the early 80s?

Is the Killie player in the foreground John Bourke? The Killie player in mid-air is familiar but can't think of his name

I was thinking Melrose in the distance? Both he and O'Hara, as well as the other three played in the matches Nov 17 (1-0, Donald Park) and March 29 (1-0, Colin McAdam) in 1979-80.

 

Gibson didn't play in the Scottish Cup game against them, which we also won (1-0, McAdam)!

Davie MacKinnon only played 3 times at Rugby Park but Gibson only played in one of them so it must be:-

 

17 Nov 1979. 1-0 (Park).

 

Rough, MacKinnon, Whittaker, Campbell, Anderson, Gibson, O'Hara, Doyle (J), McAdam, Melrose, Park (McDonald).

 

McCulloch, McLean, Robertson, Clark, Clarke, McDicken, Gibson, Maxwell, Bourke, Mauchlen, Street.

 

Don't recognise the horizontal Killie player. The other one could, indeed, be John Bourke.

 

This is the game that ex-JAG Bobby Houston came on as a sub in 58 mins and was sent off on 59 minutes. He was reported to the ref by a linesman for an off the ball incident. The Evening Time also suggested he made a gesture to the Thistle dugout as he came on.

I was at that game. Badger did, pretty sure he flicked the Vicky at the dugout. Think Bertie was still the manager

The truth according to Kilmarnock, a bit of badger baiting ?

The goalkeeper looks like Hamish McAlpine and the ground looks like Kilbowie. I remember playing Dundee United at Kilbowie one year in a cup game at the time Christian Dailey was just starting to break through as a Centre Forward for United. No idea who the number 5 for us is though, could be Grant Tierney?

I actually remember that happening at the time but never knew the full story. That's brilliant!

 

Jim Melrose the far away player I think.

 

I remember him coming on and then immediately going to the jags dug out and having a shouting match with Bertie which resulted in the Vicky being aimed at Bertie. Don't remember the Gibby bit. He must have been fecking raging when all the players ignored him...lol
