 Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2007 6:11 pm Post subject: Scotland matches in 1940 |
 |
|
In April 1940, Scotland played a couple of unofficial internationals:
Saturday 24 April 1940, v Empire Army at Tynecastle, Scotland won 4-1.
Wednesday 28 April 1940, v Irish XI in Dublin.
I know about the games as programmes were published for both of them.
Does anyone have match details, and in particular a score for the game in Dublin? |

Army match at Tynecastle. Att: 7,650
Scotland: Dawson (Rangers), Hogg (Celtic), Carabine (Third Lanark), Till (Raith Rovers), Baxter (Middlesbrough) capt:, Brown (Hearts), Caskie (Everton), Walker (Hearts), McCulloch (Derby County), Venters (Rangers), Dawson (Falkirk)
Baxter was on loan/guest to Hearts, Caskie to St Mirren, McCulloch to Falkirk
Army: Swift, Sproston (both Man City), Cook, Mercer (both Everton), Cullis (Wolves) capt:, Copping (Arsenal), Duns (Sunderland), Fenton (Middlesbrough), Fagan (Liverpool), Hagan (Huddersfield Town), D Compton (Arsenal)
Ref: Sgt RB Carruthers
Scorers: Scotland: Walker, McCulloch 2 (see below)
Army: Compton
HT 1-1
The Army scored first. The Scots' third goal was described as " a spectacular flying back-heel by Walker and Cullis and McCulloch between them helped the ball into the net" So an OG or a McCulloch hat-trick?
Another oddity was the second half substitution of Wilf Copping by Matt Busby (Liverpool) |

It's a fitba-less Sunday in November on a day you wouldn't send a dog out in. Not usually that quick when there's something else to do.
BTW add Caskie (Everton) loan/guest to St Mirren for first reply. Scotsman credits McCulloch with a hat-trick in Army game.
Also your days - shouldn't the Army game be a Wednesday and the Irish one a Sunday? |

| Jimmy Caskie`s son, also Jimmy, played for Clydebank in the 70s on the left wing while Davie Cooper played on the right. A bit light but just as skillful as Davie I remember. |
