what a sash bash we had
 
84 - First I was allowed to travel to the game with my pals at 13, £5 was enough for return travel from Dunoon to Ibrox, entrance fee, program and food :))

Similarly, my first away game (although travelling from Springburn couldn't be classed much of a journey).

I don't have a programme, and not sure one was issued, and my only memory of the game was my crackpot cousin loudly singing "We'll Support You Ever More" when the third goal was netted!
 
1969 again- am I right in thinking that Scot Symon was thistles manager at the time?
