A wee look at the Evening Times of 14th Aug 1972 confirms the ECWC was paraded before the League Cup game against Clydebank.

Not a player, it’s possibly a ball boy or youth player.

Looks like it might be Tommy Craig the physio holding the cup aloft. The team would be just about to take to the field before ko., I reckon.

Pretty sure the first home fixture that season was the league cup tie v Clydebank and Willie Waddell addressed the crowd before the game pleading for an end to hooliganism.

Sure I read somewhere it was a ball boy though he does look older

A great night. I took my Parents and my Wife to the game. And we stood on the East Terracing as it was not as busy.
Me too.
3 goals in about 25 minutes in the first half, the big ash cloud that always got thrown up from the terracings was around my head for ages. Was like an episode of the black and white minstrels.

It looks like Bob Crampsey.
It is the first home fixture of 1972/73 season. If I remember a League Cup tie and Waddell spoke on the pitch advising “hooligans will not be tolerated at Ibrox.”
I think the ECWC was held aloft by one of the Ground Staff - not a player.

Simply the Best.
The early ‘60s “Floodlight” strip, it was a cracker.

Gordon Smith celebrates against Partick Thistle in 1977 possibly in the 4-0 victory at Firhill.

Robert Fleck foiled by Jim Leighton against Aberdeen
Must be season 1977-78.Gordon Smith celebrates against Partick Thistle in 1975
He joined us at the start of that season and it was the last season we wore that classic round neck strip.
The day we won the league at Pittodrie in 1987. Still one of my favourite seasons.Robert Fleck foiled by Jim Leighton against Aberdeen
We wore blue socks that day after them being red all the rest of the season.

Your right. Will update original post. He joined us in 1977. Rangers beat Partick Thistle 4-0 and Smith scored twice on August 27th 1977. Think the pic is from that game at Firhill.

That's what you call a Rangers pennant, the Lion Rampant and two thistles to round it off. Scotland's national club indeed.

Not a fond memory for Monchengladbach, but I like to think it hangs to this day in their trophy room.

Thank God it went to a replay, we were rank rotten on the Saturday and would have stolen the Cup with a late penalty that thankfully we missed.
Which set us up for one of our greatest Scottish Cup final victories, a team transformed, Dundee United didn't know what hit them.

Now, the next task is to find a good, stand alone, picture of the old main stand.
The only one that I've seen that shows it completely is the panoramic photo from around 1912 or so, looking down the pitch from the Copland Road end.
And of course, not forgetting the Bovril Shed!
