DARIUSZ 'Jacki' Dziekanowski was a favourite with Celtic supporters during his time at the club and will be remembered mostly with fans for the Parkhead club's nailbiting European Cup-Winners' Cup -tie against Partizan Belgrade at Celtic Park in 1989 ...

JACK ROUGH (Airdrie) - Could you tell me who Celtic were playing in the late 1980s in a European match that had an exciting, but disappointing ending?

Jackie Dziekanowski put Celtic ahead late on and this put them in front on aggregate.

Instead of concentrating on defending a hard-fought lead, they continued to push forward, and were caught on the break, conceded a goal, and were knocked out on away goals.

This was a first-round tie in the now defunct European Cup-Winners' Cup. The season was 1989-90.

Celtic's opponents were Partizan Belgrade. The Yugoslav team had won the first leg 2-1.

In a thrilling second leg at Celtic Park, Dziekanowski scored his fourth goal of the evening after 83 minutes to put his side 5-3 up on the night.

However, they conceded a goal to Scepovic after 88 minutes. This made the score 6-6 on aggregate and Celtic went out on away goals.

Celtic's other goalscorer was by Andy Walker. Vajacic, Dordevic and Durovski also scored for Partizan.

JACK & TOM HALLIDAY (Bearsden) - My brother took his son, who was just a few days old, to watch the first Rangers match of the season. This would be in 1989 with my nephew being born on August 4 that year. Who were Rangers playing that day?

Rangers opened their league campaign with a home match against St Mirren.

The Saints won the game 1-0. This match was played on August 12, 1989, so your nephew would have been eight days old.

R. DICKINSON (Glasgow) - Could you supply results and scorers when Scotland toured Canada in 1983 and also who was Scotland manager?

Scotland played Canada three times on their tour in June, 1983, and won all three games with Jock Stein in charge.

The first match, on June 12 in Vancouver, saw Scotland win 2-0 with goals by current Scotland boss Gordon Strachan (penalty) and his current Hampden assistant Mark McGhee, watched by a 14,942 crowd.

The next game, on June 16, in Edmonton, saw Scotland win 3-0 with goals by Charlie Nicholas, Richard Gough and Graeme Souness, watched by a 12,258 crowd.

The final game, on June 19, in Toronto, saw Scotland win 2-0 with both goals scored by Andy Gray, watched by a 15,500 crowd. So seven goals for and none against - a successful tour.

T. RICHARDS (Glasgow) - In season 1957-58 Clyde won their League Cup section, winning all six matches. Can you supply details of the results and opposition?

In Section Five of the League Cup, Clyde were drawn against Dundee United, Dumbarton and Stranraer.

They scored a total of 38 goals and lost only four in the six matches.

They beat Dundee United 8-1 and 4-1, Dumbarton 7-1 and 4-1 and Stranraer 10-0 and 5-0 with home results listed first.

In the quarter-finals, they met Aberdeen and won 2-1 at Pittodrie and 4-2 at Shawfield. In the semi-finals they met Celtic and lost 4-2 at Ibrox.
