Brian Scott was Scotland physio for a while. I believe he gave it up as he was expected to volunteer for the work.


The sad thing about this picture is that I can probably name more players in this than the current Scotland squad. Some decent players there.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepPosted Image
Seriously can anyone confirm if this was televised ?
There were highlights; I remember seeing footage of one of HH's goals on the national news that night.
Definitely only highlights - nothing live in those days except Scottish Cup final and certainly not an evening game.

I remember the final played just before Christmas, (great move SFL :nono: ) and hardly anyone there (27,000) in pouring rain.

1892, can make out the 'Charity Cup' experts needed to tell the story here :thumbsup: (don't know if the banner originates from 1892 or that picture dates from 1892, although I wore something similar to the lads sitting by the cup for my Communion, I was told it was a new outfit :lol: , I think I was shafted.)

Leeds team circa '61-62, has one Celtic player who played 130 times for us scoring 20 goals, who is he? (says the spoofer from Limerick :lol: ) Came across him because he played for Benburb who I posted about half an hour ago, learning all the time.

If I understand it correctly, the Ben's are named after the battle of Benburb, one we won for a change while the 'Ants are in the Hoops? Were they both of Irish heritage and did they have connections to Celtic, tenous or otherwise? Sorry for all the questions.
Aaah Elvis, now we're talking. The wee Govan Old Firm and I know cause I'm a Govan man.

St Anthony's - Founded by the men of St Anthony's RC parish and school in Govan (hence my moniker) in 1902. Their colours were green and white hoops (sound familiar) and legend has it that Willie Maley was so impressed he changed Celtic to the hoops after that. Famous Celts Tommy McInally, Bobby Evans and Willie O'Neil all came from the 'Fancy Pants' (the Ants). Many fans will remember the old Ants park and social club at the top of Helen Street where the Celtic buses used to park before games at Ibrox. Republican marches in Govan always finished at the Ants social club and the playing of THE national anthem. In the old park there was a wall with the graffiti 'This is Feenyin Alley'. Sentiments were fine but the spelling was atrocious !

The Bens (the Chookie Hens) were the blue side of the divide. No one knows for certain why that name was chosen but there is an area in Ireland so there must be a connection. Mike Jackson came to Celtic from Benburb in the early 60's.

There was a big rivalry in Govan with both of them but it was good natured stuff.

God bless St Anthony's and Glasgow Celtic :clap:

Facinating stuff, absolutely love the old history and I have to admit I didn't have a clue about the green side of Govan, thank you again for the information :thumbsup:
