Not sure if moving pictures are allowed? ?

Have never seen video footage of our home game V's Inter in '84 until just now. Found it on youtube. Enjoy, but cover your ears....some nawty stuff in there  

 

 

I was there that night and we gave it a good try but, having lost 3-0 away, we were up against it. They had Bergomi, Brady, Rummenigge and a young striker, Altobelli, who would be Italy’s main striker at the next World Cup.

We had Ian Redford, Davie Mitchell and Cammy Fraser 

We put big John McLelland up front as a makeshift CF, played route one blood and snotters fitba’ and nearly made it despite being grossly inferior in terms of talent.

Proud of the effort and commitment on the night - the real miracle on the night was that only one Rangers player was booked. Playing like that now we’d end up playing fives.

Great post mate. Exactly what I took from that video too. I was 14 then and didn't really take in the importance of the tie and result. I remember next day going into school saying we'd beaten the mighty Inter.....but folk slagging me because we had been beaten. Couldn't get my head round it all at first!

if it was the last game of the season we lost to aberdeen, but the good old timsbeat hearts and that wasour league , there was no helicopter just about  100 stood at the back of the terrace and waited for the announcer telling us the scores we all went away happy but there was no celebrations.the tims narrowly missed relegations so it had nothing to do with us getting a favour.

Brilliant!

Was there not however, another incident, perhaps legendary, which involved a helicopter in later years?

George Ramsay, second from right back row.

George Ramsay gave up a promising football career to join many of his team-mates at Queen’s Park Football Club in Glasgow to enlist in the forces during the Great War.

Ten of the 11 players in the 1910/11 1st X1 club photo – including inside forward George – were among 227 Queen’s Park players and members known to have enlisted to serve King and Country.

George had made his debut at Hampden Park – the club’s famous ground and Scotland’s National Stadium – against St Mirren at the age of 18 in 1911. He made 49 competitive 1st X1 appearances for Queen’s Park , scoring nine goals. He left in August 1912 to play for Rangers, Ayr United and Partick Thistle but, as an amateur player, retained his membership of Scotland’s oldest football club.

Unlike other team mates who served in the frontline, Lieutenant George Ramsay reached for the skies as a fighter pilot with the RAF. He was just 25 when he died on 8 August 1918 while carrying out a low bombing mission on the first day of the Battle of Amiens.

He is commemorated on the Arras Flying Services Memorial in France and Queen’s Park’s Roll of Honour in the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park.

George is one of 34 Queen’s Park players and members now known to have lost their lives in service during the Great War.

First game of the season in August, 1961, at the now disused Cathkin Park in Glasgow when Third Lanark were playing Rangers. There were few turnstiles open that day and fans, anxious to get in before the kick-off, tried to get in the ground by any means possible.
