Rangers goalscorers were Sandy Jardine and Alex Miller, with Bobby Watson and Willie Pettigrew replying for the 'Well.

underboyleheating Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I remember thinking at the time that it was a very soft penalty, looking at this video just confirms it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Definately the biggest crowd and best atmosphere I've ever seen at FP. Â Cup games at home to Hibs and Celtic the previous season (1976) ran it close though.

wee jo Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Was perched on one of the floodlights at the college end that day, think attendance was given as 27000 or there abouts, biggest crowd I've been in at the citadel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Great occasion, terrible game. Ferguson had St. Mirren set up to kick teams off the park, so we set about them from the start. Not too much football played that day, especially in the first half (which was so bad the highlights that evening started with the second half kick-off).

bobbybingo Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Would've been 8 then, sat in the Main Stand with my dad. Next to us was a St Mirren fan with his wee boy. Talking away to us before kick off, no problem, but he got angrier and angrier as the boots flew in, ended up wanting to fight ma dad. I do remember havin a bit of a riddy about how hard/dirty we were that day, but Peter Millar's auntie worked in the shop just up the road from us, so I won't hear a bad word said about him...

numpty Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Would've been 8 then, sat in the Main Stand with my dad. Me too (well, except I was 5). My very first Motherwell game, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
