Alex MacDonald - He was fantastic watching him as a boy. I loved his no halfs given and his command of the midfield. Although as a very young teen I didn’t have that analysis I just seen a warrior. jukebox was a squad player with the likes of Gazza, Laudrup etc in the team. You just knew when he came on only good things were going to happen. A workhorse with a huge heart and a better reader of the game you seldom see.

Came from Shettleston juniors I'm sure. Met him a couple of times at boxing nights at Wood Street. Silky player that we could do with now.

I still remember MacDonalds diving header from about 10 yards out. Iam sure it was a cup final at Hampden but not sure if LC or SC. Edit. Just watched a you tube video of his goals and for a wee man an awful lot of headers including about 5 diving headers. Thought my memory was playing tricks as none of them against them, but then it came, thr last one in the montage. Was LC, as it cuts to us collecting the cup and references his goal as the winning goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Gregor Stevens under rated and seen as only a stopper but he could pass the ball, would go and close down the attacker and not back off. He added bite and fight into our team. We had a good team under John Greig and should have won more, I never under stood how we did not win more when you look at that team. And we had Chesterfield, the 80/81 season was very strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryStevens02 148 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nicky Walker made some decent contributions Even after the arrival of Chris Woods. I’m sure he was in a couple of Skol Cup finals or something. I remember thinking my mate was at the wind up when he said he his family business was Walkers Shortbread, but it was actually true !

Old No7. 774 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Deserves a mention. For those wondering about the empty seats at Ibrox that was how it was until Souness arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back I think Greig was trying to turn us into more of a footballing side than we had been under Jock Wallace, in the end it just didn’t work out for him. That night at the Piggery had a big effect, we lost a bit of momentum and the tarriers got a big lift from it. If we had won the Treble in Greig’s first season, maybe it would have turned out differently in the long term. Yeah , I remember him being compared to that other No6 , Jim Baxter . As you said classy . I'd certainly say JG was trying to change our football to a more continental style our results in Europe were pretty good , particularly at the start . Unfortunately here in Scotland we play a different game and struggled after that first season . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever he messed something up, he looked to blame others for his mistakes rather than just getting on with it. He was so consistent in this that it overshadows my actual memories of his positive contributions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don54 25,502 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Alan McLaren who's career was sadly over at the age of 27 Captain the night we won 9 in-a-row , played through the pain barrier in what was his final game. and also had this to say about that cunt Stuart Dougal "Stuart Dougal the match referee he was desperate to kill us.

toad 320 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Andy Penman was my favourite when my old man took me along to Ibrox as a young boy. Wee Doddie was the main man when I started going to games with my mates. Got a lot to thank my late dad for but instilling my love for The Gers from an early age, has allowed me to see so many of our great players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
