Hi,

does anyone have scores/scorers/attendances for any of these friendly matches Derby have played over the years?

47/8 Edinburgh Select XI v Derby
49/0 Kilmarnock v Derby
53/4 Derby v Partick Thistle
53/4 Derby v East Fife
53/4 Derby v Stirling Albion
57/8 Derby v Kimarnock
59/0 Dundee Utd v Derby
66/7 Derby v Hearts
68/9 St.Johnstone v Derby
68/9 Derby v St.Johnstone

Thanks in advance for any help - very difficult to find any info on these games.

Without knowing the dates it will take a lot of digging, try the London Hearts website, I would start here

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

The 1949-50 Killie v Derby game was part of the deal which saw Hugh McLaren transferred to the Rams. I don't have the date or scorers but Derby won 5-1 and there was a crowd of 17,900.

St Johnstone v Derby was Aug 1st at Muirton, Aug 5th at the Baseball Ground. St Johnstone won the first game 1-0 (Scorer: McPhee) before a crowd 3,900. Derby won the second game 2-1. McDonald scored for Saints. Crowd was 9,542.

Derby v Stirling Albion was March 13th 1954 with Derby winning 3-1. No further details.

Thanks so much to you both for your replies.

I’m writing an article on Derby v Scottish clubs just now for our Rams memorabilia magazine – though I’ve got all the programmes, actually
building on that with match details is proving more difficult than I had anticipated!

One idea might be to look for dates in the second half of the season reserved for cup ties when both clubs had already been knocked out of their respective domestic cups. Clubs often arranged friendlies on such 'free' Saturdays.

There is nothing listed on the old East Fife Historian website, I checked the seasons before and after, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Going back to the Stirling Albion game, a club history gives the date as 13/3/54 but the same history has a league match against Dundee the same day for which a match report is available. The Derby date must be wrong or it was a reserve side.

Date is wrong, it was a midweek floodlit game, don't know the exact date.
