Match Pictures | Matches: 19811982 | 1981-82 Pictures

Trivia

  • Testimonial for Thistle and Scotland keeper Alan Rough; he much later had a brief stint at Celtic.
  • 1971 Thistle LCF defeat Celtic’s Lisbon Lions 1-0 in pre-match bounce game.
  • Decent crowd of 14,000 attend especially when Rangers played English first division side Southampton at Ibrox in Sandy Jardine’s testimonial on the same day and only get 19,000.

Review
