1968 - poured all day at Easter Road. Most of us thought after that day that we were heading for the title. Undefeated and playing really well.

2014 - my abiding memory from that day is of seeing a bearded Ricky Foster running about the pitch and me asking myself how he could ever get a game for the Rangers.

Hmmm, not our best day of the year for results then.

Rest in peace Davie Cooper.

First time I ever saw my auld man in tears as we stood at the gates and looked at all the jerseys, scarves, pennants and flowers.

2013 - That game was absolutely terrible
