Thanks for clarifying that. We will ensure that we add a note to make it clear that this was not the regular Queen's Park v Corinthian fixture of the time.

Thank you.

Thank you for the details of this match. It certainly gets my vote to go on our list of unofficial matches. Our criteria are that the team must be an SFA team. These are certainly unusual circumstances but the team was selected by the SFA, that must have given its tacit approval given the fixture ch...

I am glad you found them. My first port of call for old league tables is Brian McColl's excellent Scottish Football Historical Archive that is growing by the day!

Here is a link to show the details of leagues available:

I am trying to find the date (circa 1950/51) and place of birth of Joe Donnelly who was also a youth and junior international. The excellent Sons Archive is currently out of action and may have the information so can anyone help please? Thank you.

I am not sure about official name changes but perhaps “stadium” could have started to be used when both grounds started greyhound racing. I seem to remember reading that Ibrox Park became Ibrox Stadium because it hosted the opening ceremony and other events at the Empire Exhibition and “stadium” was...

Old programmes which I have(1960s) have EMPIRE STADIUM, WEMBLEY on the front cover; when did it become WEMBLEY STADIUM? I believe the name change was associated with the 50th anniversary of the stadium in 1973 although "Wembley Stadium" was not consistently used on all programmes until the 1974/75 ...

A great map! From what I read Rutherglen became part of Glasgow in 1975. Junior Scotland played four matches there and a Scotland XI played the British Army in 1955. As you say, it would have been a regular venue for other representative matches and many Junior cup finals. The international against ...

If it helps Davie Mills won a Junior cap against England in 1919 when he was at Kilsyth Emmet and went on to play for Parkhead Juniors in the 1919/20 season.

It sounds as if you have this already but here is the Junior team that played against Falkirk. George Nisbet (Petershill); William McAllister (Maryhill) & Wattie Sneddon (Kilsyth Rangers); Willie Neil (Parkhead), Robert Stewart (Larkhall Thistle) & [nk] Brown (Renfrew); Harry Higginbotham (Kilsyth R...

Neilston Juniors had lights in the 1960s, I remember seeing a match on Scotsport from Brigg O lea stadium one night , but I cant remember who was playing.

I found Neilston 2 Morton 5 played under lights on Monday 21 December 1964 that might be the match you remember?

Looking at Junior football, Armadale Thistle, Broxburn Athletic and Newtongrange Star were in the vanguard in introducing floodlit football to the East of Scotland. Armadale Thistle beat Rosewell Rosedale 4-1 on 4 April 1956 at Volunteer Park, Armadale. It was reported that “ discounting some charit...

Can anyone help to find a photograph of Eddie MacLaine taken during his short playing days in Scotland? He is in the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame but they only have a photograph of Eddie later in life and are looking for a younger photograph to include in his entry. It is probably a very difficult tas...

Thanks for your help, Gordon. With what you say about Glencraig Rangers and the fact he is reported as “ D. Munro (Glencraig) ” suggests he probably did step up from the juveniles. There is a "Munro (Strathclyde)" who played in a Junior Scotland trial match as a centre forward in 1903 but we have tr...
