Hi J.S.

I can help with the Glasgow v Edinburgh match. See link below. I would recommend the London Hearts website for most available information.

I came across this snippet earlier while researching the year 1899. http://londonhearts.com/scores/images/1899/1899111302.htm "Queen's Park, who drew with Aston Villa last season, wish it to remain in Glasgow for another month. after then it will be handed over to the Corinthians, who won it last We...

This is a bit of a tricky one to answer Kjell! A lot of the time newspapers would have credited different players for goals scored, but I think if you use the figures from the complete records books then they will be the most accurate. Hope this helps.

Hi Kjell, John Kelly was the goalkeeper for Celtic in both these matches. See an extract below from the 'maleysbhoys' website. "Celtic would go onto beat Dumbarton 4-1 in the semi-finals, before losing to Third Lanark 2-1 in the Scottish Cup Final (this was the second final between the teams in only...

Sorry J.S. The user name should still be kjell and not the one I specified!

Hi J.S. Norway, I have sent you a private message will details of kjell's new username and password if you want to pass it on to him.

Cheers

I can confirm that the Maley brothers played for Third Lanark in season 1887/88. William played both games against Cowlairs in the Scottish Cup and Tom and Willie played against Rangers in the Glasgow Cup in the same season.

Thanks to some research carried out by David Ross a few years back I can supply the following info from Woods time at Airdrie. Debut at home to Cowdenbeath (5-2) on 18/09/1926 (played at no 8) 25/09/1926 v Morton (1-2) 02/10/1926 v Kilmarnock (2-0) 12/02/1927 v Kilmarnock (2-4) 19/02/1927 v Queen's ...

I have been digging a bit deeper on this one. In John Litster's pre-war disc there is a J.McLaughland (left back) that played in the 1890/91 junior cup final for Chryston Athletic v Vale of Clyde. Can anyone provide a date for this game? It could be the same player.

Thanks Forrest, I have passed on the details. I have advised him to email the scottish football museum as they may have an entry for McLaughlan in the 1893 players registers.
Thanks again.

Hi and Happy New Year to one and all! I have received the following query second hand from the bhoysingreen.com website. There are no line-ups for the match v Vale of Leven in the Scotsman or Herald, can anyone help? I’ve spent hours collecting data on players that have played for Celtic throughout ...

As you may have noticed the site has been down for a few days. This was due to some nice people clogging up the bandwidth which meant that the bandwidth limit was reached. Apologies.

Thanks for the advice Andy. I will check the local Ayrshire papers and see what they comes up with.

I am missing the Thirds line-up for the above mentioned Scottish Cup game. The Herald and Scotsman have match reports, but no further details. As usual any help is much appreciated. I am slowly putting together the season by season statistics for Third Lanark in the hope of eventually publishing a '...

I am having mixed results with Find my Past through the NLS. It seems to be allowing me to access their records ok, but not the BNA. I will try what you said and login to their website first to see if that makes any difference. Thanks for letting us all know about it Andy.
