The introduction of another cup competition was universally greeted on the grounds that it might clutter up the fixture list,but it has to be said that Scottish clubs were already experiencing the kind of problems that were to force their English counterparts into forming the Football League;uncertainty over whether a friendly fixture would take place,against opposition that was seldom of the same calibre was affecting gates.Therefore,the introduction of the Glasgow Cup was greeted by the public with 5,500 turning out at Cathkin Park to watch a 2-2 draw between traditional foes Third Lanark and Rangers

1983... Another false dawn in the John Greig era

2003... Took the lead, lost a late goal and our season fell apart after this game

2006... Memorable for the late winner, and the celebration by Sebo afterwards
 
2006 - Sheep shaggers signing YNWA then big Sebo silences them.

I'm sure Carlos Cuellar played for Beitar Jerusalem for a short period recently.
 
1966 - My first ever visit to Dundee. Kai scored a very good equaliser to make it 1-1. He never scored unimportant goals.

1994 - Laudrup's goal was something to behold. I was in the Broomloan rear and the sheer power of his run and shot was absolutely stunning.

2006 - I was in hospitality that day. Sebo's last gasp winner made the day.

2016 - Great goal from Krancjar but he got crocked not long after it and that was more or less him out for the duration of the season. The day was saddened by the news about the Nithsdale Loyal bus.
 
2005 - Rangers 5 (Buffel,Prso,Nieto,Lovenkrands,McCormack) Dunfermline Athletic 1 - Scottish Premier League (48,374)

we had bad form going into this game
