AFTER becoming the first British club to win the European Cup in 1967, Celtic just missed out on lifting the trophy for a second time in Milan in 1970…

BIG TAM (Castlemilk) Could you tell me which teams Celtic played on the way to reaching the European Cup Final in 1970?

Celtic lost in the final, going down 2-1 to Feyenoord. They knocked out Basle, Benfica, Fiorentina and Leeds United.

The final was played in the San Siro Stadium on May 6, 1970, in Milan.

Tommy Gemmell opened the scoring for Celtic, with Feyenoord equalising soon after through Rinus Israel.

The Dutch side’s extra-time winner was scored by Ove Kindvall.

HEILAN JIMMY (Govan) Could you tell me what the crowd was when Rangers played Elgin City in the Scottish Cup in the late Seventies?

On February 26, 1977, Rangers defeated Elgin 3-0 in a fourth-round tie. Our reference book gives the crowd as 18,000.

The Rangers goals were scored by Jackson, McLean (penalty) and MacDonald. Elgin were a Highland League side at the time.

SHAMROCK (Kilbirnie) In the season that Celtic ground-shared with Queen’s Park, how did Celtic fare against Rangers in their two home games? I say they won them both.

In fact honours were even. This was season 1994-95 and on October 30, 1994, the result was Celtic 1 Rangers 3.

In the second game on May 7, 1995, the score was Celtic 3 Rangers 0.

J. MAXWELL (Glasgow) In the 1960s Scotland beat Northern Ireland 5-1 at Hampden in a Home International Championship match can you provide the goalscorers in the game?

A crowd of nearly 59,000 on November 7, 1962, saw Ireland take the lead in eight minutes through Bingham.

Scotland equalised in 40 minutes with a goal from Denis Law and it was 1-1 at half-time.

In the second half Law took over and scored in 64 and 77 minutes to complete his hat-trick.

Henderson then scored in 79 minutes to make it 4-1 and Law completed the scoring in 87 minutes to make his tally four and the final result 5-1.
