"Gordon Wallace Mk II scores all four goals (one penalty) in a 4-2 win over Queen's Park in a League Cup tie at Stark's Park."
Does anyone agree that it must have been Gordon Wallace Mk I the second time around? |

Im pretty sure I was at the game and it was indeed mk 1 who scored all 4 goals. Even in his final years as a player he was a class act. |

It definitely was MK1. The return leg at Hampden was exactly 45 years ago this Saturday when, ironically, Queen's Park are our visitors.
We scraped through on penalties after losing 2-4 after extra time (1-3 in 90 minutes). A certain Ian Ballantyne did a bit of damage for the Spiders against us. _________________ Dougie Hill

Obviously I'll be wrong on this, but my very hazy recollection is that Maestro (MkI) came in part of the deal that took MKII to Tannadice. A wee deal brokered between brothers Wullie & Jum. _________________ Competitive goals: Vaughan 19, Easton 11, Hamilton 10, Smith 9, Stanton 7, Mullin 4, Connolly 3, O'Reilly 3, Rudden 3, S Brown 2, Dick 1, Gullan 1, Masson 1, Matthews 1, Millen 1, Mitchell 1, Murray, Watson 1, OG's 1, |

On This Day
1958
Quote: | Rovers wear their legendary two blue hoops on a white strip for the very first time in a 0-5 defeat by Hearts. The strip along with navy shorts was inspired by the Hungarians.

I've always loved this Honved shirt, the hoops are a dark red, I would like something similar as an away top. _________________ Hope he's got plenty Rovers action to comment on tonight.... |

Alas, the fitba' at that time wasn't Hungarian in style.
A constant battle near the bottom until the infamous 1962-3 season. I'm still scarred with the antics of that season 🫣🥺 _________________ Talk on! Talk on!

Aye me too , relegated and made the cup semi final, just imagine if we had beaten Celtic in that game , we'd have been in Europe and in the 2nd Division, unfortunately we didn't and the rest of course is history 😥 |
