5) "Born in Fife but raised in Ayrshire, he started his career at Junior side Dalry Thistle and joined Hamilton Academical in 1957 but after a few months he moved back to Dalry.

His most active seasons were 1966–67 in which he played in the finals of the Scottish League Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, and 1968–69 when he took part in the Scottish Cup Final, however Rangers lost to Celtic on both domestic occasions and to Bayern Munich in the continental event."

You need to get the Hattrick to get the point!
The game is Rangers v St Mirren - League Cup Final - March 2010
What was the final score?
•1 - 0
•2 - 1
Who got the 2 red cards?
•Thomson and McCulloch
•Wilson and MCulloch

(If you have managed to score the first 2 then the pressure is on)
What minute was the goal?

As always please leave a comment, I enjoy reading them (it's why I do this)
