I actually had that Wales ‘admiral’ strip shown in the picture above! Quite a rare sighting in the West of Scotland in 1977!,😀

Boyne: Cheers for that. I thought at first it was Eric Morecambe standing at the model of the proposed new Hamden😀

All the right stands but not necessarily in the right order.

It was rumoured that a couple of the Austrian so called ‘hard men’ weren’t so ‘hard’, when confronted by Dave MacKay and Jimmy Millar afterwards…😀

Looks like Hampden and possibly the Hibs Scottish Cup Final Second Replay in May 1979. The first two games were so boring. The second was won 3-2 by Rangers.

Gordon Smith was a very decent Rangers player, but John Greig didn’t particularly rate him.

 Scotland 0 v Brazil 1, 30th June 1973. Brazil's Jairzinho controls the ball on his chest watched by Kenny Dalglish (left) and Sandy Jardine during the match at Hampden Park.The Brazilian goal, was an O.G. scored by Derek Johnstone!
 The date of 30th June looks a bit of an odd date  for this match to have been played on.
The Scotland players would have been on holiday for most of June, due to the domestic season finishing in early May and the Home Internationals would have been completed a week or so later.
Pre Season Training was likely to have been starting a week later. However the SFA I’m sure would have been delighted at the takings from the 78,180 crowd.

It is. Here's another from the game. For some people Gordon Smith is best remembered for that miss in the 1983 FA Cup Final. A shame as he was, as you say, a decent player.

Boyne: Cheers for confirming the game. Don’t think there was any tv coverage of either replay.

Gordon Smith scored the winner in the March 1978 League Cup Final v Celtic.

He joined Rangers in late August 1977 for a £65,000 fee from Kilmarnock. In his first season he scored 24 goals for Rangers.

Great commentators. They knew when to speak and when to let the pictures speak for themselves. Modern day TV commentators could learn a lot from their predecessors.

Boyne: Ibrox before and after the new Main Stand was built in the late 1920s.

The new Main Stand was officially opened on 1st Jan 1929. In the top picture, the new Main Stand main entrance and club office section have already been built. The terracing was also modified.
