Is there a remote possibility he is an outfield player with a t-shirt on? Doesn't help. The line-up v Kilmarnock was all-well-known faces. Stumped! Who is it Stu? Think I've worked it out. Think the mysterious Keeper is Right-back Doug Wright at a Ibrox Five a side.

stuthejag Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 No prizes for the players, but is it Firhill ? if not where ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Good question. Doesn't look like Frill, but I've no idea where it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 As wild a guess as you can get... I don't recall any Scottish grounds with railings. Looks far too substantial a ground in any case. So, thinking it might be England. Wright, Gibb and Howitt all played in a friendly on 2 December 1953 against Derby County at the Baseball ground and I'm guessing that this is them loosening up the day before or the morning of the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 The Baseball ground was one of those English grounds that I loved to see on tv.... it had real character and atmosphere. The Dell was another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Looks early sixties and Morton didn't play in hoops back then. Maybe a Glasgow Cup game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenisOhDenis Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Modern footwear for the early sixties so my guess would be a bit later,  maybe 65 or 66?  Not impossible that it's even late 60s going by the McEwans and Long John Whisky adverts in front of the shed.  This would still put it (just) before my time, which is my excuse for not recognising anyone in the photo from either side.  A postponed match eventually played on a meaningless end of season midweek night might be an alternative explanation for the relatively low crowd.  On the other hand Celtic were winning virtually everything in sight from 66 onwards so would likely still bring a good crowd.  1965?

Jaggernaut Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 My friend posted it on an unwashed website for comments. They all said it was Hughes scoring in our 4-2 defeat on Dec 12, 1964. That makes it Niven in goal, and maybe Davis behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't allowed to go to the semi-final - too young, too late, too far away (on the 66 bus!) - so the final was my first trip to Hampden.  Happy days.

a f kincaid Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Looks like a Glasgow Cup tie on 9 October 1961 (Monday night -hence the floodlights on). Thistle 1 Celtic 5. Glasgow Herald report has Hughes heading in the opener from a cross in 26 minutes with Gray badly positioned. If it's this match then it can't be Fleming as I said earlier. Don't recognise who it is. Gray, Hogan, Brown, Cunningham, McKinnon, Donlevy, Ewing, McBride, Smith, Duffy, McParland. Smith scored 89 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
