Hampden for me GR
if its the 71 replay,then maybe tickets were easier for der hun to acquire as there was only 3-4 days between games ??

Could that not be the 1963 Scottish Cup Final or the replay? Definitely looks like the players who would have played about that time.

That's Hampden, you can tell by the stanchion.Ibrox had more angular ones, ie straight, then diagonally down to the ground. Plus, if that was Ibrox, there would be roof supports visible at that corner of the ground

Hampden for me aswell ,wouldn't fret about the shades of blue ,it looks as
if its been pissin down and people would have anoraks on,dare say it would have been
fashion statement if you had an Emerald Green anorak in the early 60s .Also no20 stairway was about the 18 yard
line of the big enclosure.

Yep, its definitely Hampden.

The reason you can tell that is the number 22 on the wall; the old HP had them right around the perimeter wall (they're at the bottom of each stairway).

But like Glasgow Road, I'm baffled as to why there's blue at our end of the ground;

the only thing I can suggest is that the pic was taken from other side of the ground - the old North Stand was perched high above north enclosure and it's looking across into DeidCo's lot. There is a break in the ground over at that corner of the ground (where the Croats were the other night) and its been there ever since Hampden put up covered terracing for huns end 67 or 68.

So maybe that puts the game some time in mid 60s (the strips are both from that period)?

Sorry, but that theory is wrong!

I've just checked out a book from 1967 and the uncovered Hampden definitely puts that pic at our corner of the ground (north-east).

The book carries shots and report of the League Cup final (66-67) against Rangers, which we won 1-0 with Bobby Lennox's goal.

In every other aspect it fits this game - the ref was Tom Wharton and I'm pretty sure that's the fat guy in black here.
The no 11 in that game was Yogi and the keeper was Simpson. Faither did have dark hair in the photos in my book but not as much as the keeper here, so maybe it was John fallon in LCF of 64-65 (lost 2-1).

But still can't understand why there's blue at our end unless its photo discolouring with age.

Really need someone who went in early 60s to step up to the plate here and put us out misery!

You could be right!

I can't find pics anywhere of this but remember seeing footage (my dad told about Bobby Craig being given Jinky's place for the replay after doing well 1-1 first match).

We lost 3-0 and according Brian Wilson's official history of the club thousands of Celtic fans were streaming out 25 mins before end and some burned their scarves (does that qualify as a pyro? :lol:)
For what its worth, that book lists the team for the replay as Haffey; Mackay and Kennedy at full back; McNeill, McNamee and Price; Craig (Bobby, not Jim), Murdoch, Diver, Chalmers and Hughes.

GR's 1963 SCF is the most likely to me tbh.

I don't think that is Simpson think it is Haffey.

I am almost certain the Celtic players are L to R - Yogi, Dunky McKay, John McNamee, Cesar, Jim Kennedy and Haffey all of whom played in that gubbing.

I thought the keeper looked like Evan Williams too.

But the DeidCo shirts give it away - they changed to a round collar and red socks by the time we'd gubbed them in in the 69 SCF :clap:

Are those huns in the background or was there a denim jacket explosion in 1963?

There does seem to be a fair splattering of blue but I think it may well just be the pic c/w ageing.

If you enlarge it to 400% there seems to be some guys with green scarves and a lot using hankies as hats - If you follow diagonally behind the stand alone photographer back to the wall - The guy two to the right tucked in at the back of the front guy with a white jacket seems to definitely have a Celtic scarf on.

And the guy next to him looks a lot like our old parish priest ;)

Looks like Ralph Brand standing next to Wharton which would make it the 64 LCF

Edit: 63 cup final is a good shout

Brand is in front of McNamee but Brand also played in 1963 SCF.

In 1964 LCF McKay and McNamee weren't playing and Cesar was injured - Also Wharton wasn't the referee it seems to have been Hugh Philips.

Identifiable Sons of Satan in that pic are to me Brand.Millar and McMillan and can only think the wee guy is Willie Henderson as huns never went for many wee guys in their teams.
