Would Clyde and Partick Thistle programmes give a clue to the title change?

The International attendances thread set me thinking about ground titles and I wonder if there was an official change over from Shawfield Park to stadium & Firhill Park to stadium. I think Ibrox Park changed in 1938 when the Empire Exhibition was on. After 117 years this will be Queen`s Park`s last ...

The first time a Scottish International match was actually played within the boundaries of the City of Glasgow was vs. England @ Hampden Park in 1906. All matches prior to that had been in adjoining burghs eg. Govan, Crosshill, Parkhead, Partick which housed Ibrox Park, Cathkin Park(both), Hampden P...

Thanks SUREITSZA - all done.

Is there a website of junior players like John Litsters` seniors one or even a list of junior internationalists?

Thank you SUREITSZA, I was going cross eyed trying to track down that trio.

Thank you Bluedragon. Yup, that the juniors` side I have. Christian names please, if anyone has them, of Rennie & Paterson (Clydebank Juniors) and Mills(Cowie Juniors) who were in the Falkirk side that day?

Thanks Bluedragon, yup that`s the team I have with Rutherford & Ferguson 2 scoring. I`ll see if Falkirk have anything in their archive.

There was certainly a Royal Engineers presence in Aberdeen in 1915 @ the City of Aberdeen Fortress(Castlehill?) so I think it must have been this one which played "Thistle...down South" on 17/11/1915 if the Press & Journal bothered with a paragraph. Oh & it was the sudgers who won 5-0!

Thank you for that clue & I`ll look @ the Couper area papers for the "Thistle" game. Regarding the Falkirk vs. Juniors game, yes the teams are given in the Falkirk Herald of 26/4/1916 as "along the lines of" which, as you know, doesn`t necessary mean that those are the players who actually turned up...

Incidentally, the RSSSF website is wrong regarding the venue of the first "official" international on St.Andrew`s Day 1872. The game was played on the ground of the West of Scotland Cricket and Football Club, Partick and Partick was NOT part of Glasgow at that time. It was an independent police burg...

The Press & Journal mentions this game - "THISTLE" 5, 64th HIGHLAND DIVISION ROYAL ENGINEERS(Aberdeen) 0(ht=?) 17/11/1915 - as being played "down South" but coming from an Aberdeen paper this could be almost anywhere. Does anyone have a clue at all - actual teams, venue, charity? Additionally, FALKI...

Going back to the 1908 Celtic vs. Clyde Glasgow Merchants Cup game, John Dickie @ outside right played for Rangers in 1907-08 season and for Clyde in 1908-09 and as this game was on 9/5/08, I don`t know whether he`d actually been transferred from Ibrox to Shawfield. Quite often clubs used the Charit...

Thank you for that. I believe YOUNG`s first name was ROBERT who transferred from Violet to Bristol City in 1907, returned to Violet during the War then went back to Ashton Gate in 1919.

I`m looking for the Chriatian names of the following Junior Internationalist from 1916: PATERSON(Clydebank Juniors), YOUNG(Dundee Violet) & MURRAY(Dundee East Craigie). Can anyone help, please?
