I think the terracing looks too close to the pitch to be either Celtic Park or Hampden (huns end before it was covered?) Trying to think of other grounds that had quite steep terracings in those days. Easter Rd or Firhill? |

I think it's the rangers end adjoining the jungle. I was doing some looking around the Wiki, and I saw pictures of Willie Fernie before the rangers end was covered, and there are tenements of a similar style at the north east corner of the ground. It now looks likely that that's where it is

The railings were put in place because the display was attacked almost daily. My father took me to see it during the fair week and they were repairing the previous nights damage. |

As someone who stayed within walking distance of George Square at the time, I can assure you it wasn't 'attacked almost daily'. I'm not one for defending the Orcs; but let's get some perspective - nowadays such a tribute would never be undertaken... which shows just how far back things have slid.

It can't be: if it was the picture would have to be 'flipped'. |

That's what I thought. Look at the pictures in the Willie Fernie section on the wiki. You'll see its right enough. |

I'm pretty certain that isn't Celtic Park. Which leaves Hampden or the home of the the now defunct Rangers FC. What's all the rubble? Were they putting a roof on Ibrox at the time?

Looks like a segregation fence at the corner on the left? That cannae be the goalposts at the back? They look out of proportion and way too big.

It is CP; if it were Hampden, you would either see the South Stand to the left of Stevie or - if he was facing towards Mount Florida - the Celtic End which completely obscured anything outside the ground; and why would he (be allowed to) pose for a pic at an empty Piggery wearing trousers?

That's the same mistake I made initially. It is CP. the more you look at the ground pre-1965, the mor you realise that your eyes are playing all sorts of tricks on you. |

Four-leaf-clover and everyone else, you guys are all making the same totally natural mistakes I did. This is a tricky photo, and I was convinced beyond all doubt that it was Hampden, but some deeper research show it to (very surprisingly) be Celtic Park. |

Which pic in the Wiki of Willie Fernie are you referring to boss? The fact that Stevie is wearing jeans gives the natural conclusion that it's CP but i need convincing. The angle of the photographer is maybe making the ex Rangers end look much bigger than it actually was but i've seen nothing like it before. What the yellow lines? We didn't have that many step ways going down the terrace. I can't even see any barriers on the whole terrace. Isn't that a segregation fence at the top left? Heart is saying it must be CP but head can't see it.

Dont think the tennaments at the back are high enough for Hampden. |

Those lines running down the terrace could be beams of wood getting ready to be used for the roof. |

Sorry, I can't do a screenshot, but I'd you look at the pictures page of Willie Fernie, it shows him shooting into the Celtic end with the old jungle hayshed to the left. It shows very similar if not identical tenements in exactly the same place as the Chalmers photie. Also, if you look at the ex-rangers end from an Ariel shot in the wiki again, that end was absolutely vast by around 1960, when I believe it may have been extended. As others have said, by 1968 it was again under construction having the whole end resurfaced and a roof put on, so it could certainly have been CP hen you look at all those photos as supporting evidence. Didn't notice the jeans before. That's hilarious!

Thought initially that this might help with the Stevie Chalmers photo but maybe not. The game is against Aberdeen in the League Cup 1967.
