1956 was before my time jeep. I've googled and even on Clyde's own website I can't find reference to this? Could you supply the history for us 'young yins'

Great wee team Clyde has always been I must say.

I would say with certainty Jeep that in the full knowledge that Celtic have never ever benefited from a refereeing error that Mr. Harkness or whoever compiled the report for the Sunday Post was wide of the mark. It evidently could not have been a goal.

Glasgow Girl, it was the 1956 Scottish Cup Semi Final.

Celtic lost the final to Hearts 3-1
Celtic played Mike Haughney their left back at centre forward.
He scored Celtics only goal.

Hope you can read this comment on the goal. Jeep

1954 Cup Final.

Jeep some of this stuff I vaguely remember, but man I cant read these clippings, everyone of them in my honest opinion are a waste of time posting them.
Could I ask whats your point, I sure would like to comment on them, but cant!

Yep..jeep, they don't write articles like that any more eh?

Here you go hubert, this is how it was....

Hubert, sorry I didn"t know they would be so unreadable until I posted them

Glasgow Girl ,liked the wee newsreel

I zoomed in and was able to read the articles quite well. The wee newsreel site is a good find isn't it?

Thanks Glasgow Girl, glad you were able to read it

Yes, it is a great wee newsreel.

Thanks Hubert

Och !

I was six at the time and a Clyde supporter. My brother was nine and a Celtic supporter. We've both just watched that newsreeel and although we don't remember the clamour over the incident, the names brought back lots of memories. Tommy Ring was my idol !

Thanks for that film, Glasgow Girl !

That was a great read jeep, the sports journalism then is now of another world "Fernie dashed in", you wont read that in tomorrows Daily Record.

Wille Fernie.

Sorry I cant seem to edit the photo to get it the right way up.

Here you go jeep....

There have been many great Celtic players but my boyhood favourite was Willie Fernie, grrrrrrrrrreat photo! Thank y`all!

What a fine looking chap. and nice handwriting.

Agreed !

They were the days when footballers were actually human and could do things like write their names !

Just for the sake of it, Tommy Ring and Bobby Collins were my favourites of the time.

Tombro, just for you

Another star and great photo.
The Wee Barra, Bobby Collins.
Cannae mind the year in the 50s, but an uncle took me to Celtic Park my very first game, Celtic played East Fife, and won 4-1, Bobby Collins was involved in all 4 goals all scored by one man John McPhail.
I believe although not sure but Legs Fleming scored for East Fife.
I believe Collins played junior fitba with Pollock Juniors!

Hubert, I think the game you are refering to was played on 25th March 1950 with McPhail scoring 4goals one from a penalty.
Dont know who scored East Fifes goal.

Earlier in the season East Fife beat Celtic 5-1

Throughout the fifties East Fife had a good record against Celtic with 2, 4-1, 3, 3-0 and 2-0 wins.

Those were the days indeed jeep

Yes you could be correct 1950 one of the four goals was a penalty.
East Fife had a good team back then.
