4) "He joined Rangers in 1970 from junior side Yoker Athletic. He made his debut in the Scottish Cup final replay against Celtic on 12 May 1971. He deputised at right back in place of Sandy Jardine, but the team lost the match 2–1.

In total he made 54 appearances for Rangers including the first match of the 1971–72 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign, a 1–1 draw with Stade Rennes. He left Ibrox in 1977 after seven seasons and joined Hearts. He was played more in Edinburgh in two seasons than he had in the seven he was at Rangers. His spell at Tynecastle was followed by a final season at Stirling Albion before left the senior ranks to join Irvine Victoria."

I look forward to your comments!

Enjoy your day Bears!
 
Missed our on question three, got it with initials, but managed the rest.
Did Burns not finish the Osasuna home game with Hypothermia?
 
All 5 today! Think that’s the first time I’ve got all of them. Did still need initials for the older bear however.
 
Full house for me though did struggle with a couple until a clue (not the initials) to confirm who they were was included.
 
Very poor performance today - 1/4 and needed a clue.
Got the player and team with no clues though.
 
If pushed would’ve went for 1 but used initials to confirm
Needed initials for 2
3&4 wrong
5 new player needed initials for team. Knew which country just couldn’t remember the team
 
Mixed bag today.
1. Y
2. N
3. Y
4. N
5. Y

Re: older bear clues, imagine the reaction today signing someone from Yoker juniors and pitching them in for a debut in an OF cup final.

2.5 for players. Missed the older bear but got it with initials.
Needed initials for player but got club.

So-so effort, I guess.
