Wee Sone for me on an eventful day.
To be fair, we've only played them at Ibrox once in the Cup since, the 2-2 game Jamie Ness scored in.
Plenty times in that time we got drawn at the piggery.
I don’t mean to digress but, what a horrible stat that is.
Voted for wee wullie, purely based on the fact I know him and love the wee guy to bits lol
Aluko for me.
I preferred wee Willie's lob at the scum hit in 67.
I’ve went for Aluko but loved watching Willie Henderson a fantastic player who deserves more praise in Scotland
We’ve only been drawn at home once since then.I don’t mean to digress but, what a horrible stat that is.
I know, the op pointed that out.We’ve only been drawn at home once since then.
1920, 1953 both before 1964?It's not that horrible a stat.
Post WW1
We were drawn against them at Ibrox in 1920 - we won
1953 - we won
1964 - we won
2011 - we drew (a disgrace mind you)
Aluko by the proverbial ball hair.
On a side note, how quick was Willie Henderson? Even watching old footage as a kid it always seemed like the film had been sped up whenever he was on the run.
1920, 1953 both before 1964?
You’re right about 2011.
Two nil up, I think and them down to ten men.
I can’t remember when they scored, if it were before Naismith was sent off or not.
I know, the op pointed that out.
I just thought there must’ve been more when I read the “record headliners dream” line.
I am sure we were drawn at home against them, maybe mid to late seventies, but Kilmarnock beat them in the previous round.
Useless information time!
I think Colin Stein played for Killie when we played them.
1978.
The one they insisted was offside for 40 years until YouTube proved them wrong?Aluko for me.

Killie beat them with Stein in the team the night we "battered" Forfar in the LC SF.Nah, I think Colin Stein played for Killie when they played them. ;-~~)
Killie beat them with Stein in the team the night we "battered" Forfar in the LC SF.
He might well have done.Did Stein not play against us in the next round? We won 4-1, Johnny Hamilton scored. I thought Colin played that day.
He might well have done.
All I can remember is the score and maybe Coop missing a pen?
Or the balls they played with then.Henderson - not sure the video does the goal justice.
For me he collects the ball slightly further out and retains great control despite the pitch.
Both only actually beat one man on their way into the box before two men come to close both down inside the box - Henderson shoots while Aluko checks inside of the two defenders before shooting. This makes Aluko's look more impressive but considering the pitch I've went for WH. The ball actually takes a couple of serious bobbles both at the start of his run and just before shooting - not sure some of our modern day prima donnas could have coped on the kind of pitches seen in the 60's and 70's
Yeah, good analysis.... also mud used to stick to your moulded-stud sole, slowing down your speed as the game progressedHenderson - not sure the video does the goal justice.
