Once again, it is my
pleasure on behalf of
Queen’s Park Football
Club, to welcome Pat
Gillooly and his fellow
Directors, Darren Young
and his coaching staff
and the players and supporters of Albion
Rovers Football Club to Hampden Park for our
SPFL Division 2 match this afternoon.
This is the 5th match between the clubs this
season and although all have been closely
contested, we have yet to “break our duck”
against the Rovers! With the league being so
closely contested, it would certainly be a good
time for us to put one over our old rivals. No
matter, I’m sure it will be another highly
competitive, fiercely fought encounter.
A Word from the Gaffer.
Good Afternoon and a warm welcome to
today’s League 2 match against our near
neighbours and title challengers, Albion
Rovers.
We were delighted with our crucial victory
last week at Elgin, thanks to a last minute
winner by Jordan Moore, which certainly
made the long bus journey home pass
quickly.
Albion Rovers will be coming into this
game very confident after their midweek
victory over Arbroath which outs them in
poll position.
It should be an exciting and competitive
game this afternoon and hopefully we can
get our first victory against rovers this
season.
Once again thank you for your valued
support.
Enjoy the game.
I hope you all have a very enjoyable afternoon.
Gus MacPherson.

Saturday 21 March 1874
Scottish Cup Final – Queen’s Park 2 Clydesdale 0
On this day 141 years ago, Queen’s Park made history by winning the first ever Scottish
Cup competition.
Queen’s Park had been members of the Football Association since 1870 but had come
to the view that Scottish clubs should have a national association of their own. They
invited the other Scots clubs to a meeting in March 1873 to consider having a
competition for Scottish teams in the following season. Representatives of eight clubs
attended the meeting and they agreed to organise a cup competition and form
themselves into a Scottish Football Association.
A total of 16 teams entered the first Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup
competition in season 1873/74. The clubs taking part were invited to contribute
towards the cost of purchasing a trophy and badges (medals). A total of £56 12s 11d
was raised. This enabled the SFA to purchase the Scottish Cup, which is now the oldest
soccer trophy in the world.
The Cup Final took place at the original Hampden Park on Saturday 21 March 1874 and
it was fitting that the country’s two leading clubs, Queen’s Park and Clydesdale, were
the finalists. This was the first meeting of the two teams. On their way to the final,
Queen’s Park had defeated Dumbreck, Eastern and Renton, while the Kinning Park side
had accounted for Granville, 3rd Lanark Rifle Volunteers and Blythswood.
The game had generated considerable interest and the handsome trophy had been
displayed in the window of the makers’ shop in Buchanan Street in the days leading up
to the match. An enthusiastic crowd of around 2,500 was present at the game. This
was a significant attendance in 1874, particularly given the relative inaccessibility of
Hampden Park.
In the early stages of the match, the players struggled with the extremely bobbly pitch
and strong, gusty wind. Clydesdale pushed forward with the wind at their backs but
the Queen’s Park defence stood firm. The first major incident of the game came after
half an hour and involved something not unfamiliar to modern-day fans – a
controversial refereeing decision. Following a corner kick, Clydesdale’s Fred Anderson
shot for goal. The ball was scrambled away but had it passed under the tape? In the
days before linesmen, the officials consisted of a referee and two umpires. One
umpire signalled a goal but the other umpire disagreed. Referee James McIntyre of

We extend a warm welcome to Hampden
today to Darren Young, his Albion Rovers

Rovers have had a great season to date
and currently sit top of the league with a
four point lead over Queen’s and an eight

To absolutely no one’s surprise, the thoughts
of playing a World Cup in the desert at the
hottest time of year should have been binned
by the time you read this nonsense. Despite it
being plain as plain can be on the front of the
bidding document that the World Cup would
be played in the summer, Qatar will now be
allowed to host the World Cup in, probably,
November and December of 2022.
Keith McAllister
The utter nonsense of awarding a tournament
to a country that bakes in the summer, and
maintaining that it would be held in that
baking summer, has been shown up as yet
another decision that shames FIFA. All the
ridiculous notions of playing games in climatecontrolled stadia are claptrap and even a
winter tournament in Qatar will be a
challenge for those at the side of the park, let
alone those who have to try to perform on it.
Who can forget Maradona’s outburst at
officials after the USA World Cup in 1994
when he asked, in no uncertain terms, how
the authorities expected great football in
hostile weather conditions?
The weather is only one of the worries. Most
European countries will now have to schedule
in at least two months of inaction, given that
international sides will have their players from
mid-October until mid-December. Add into
the mix that it’s a bit rich to expect players
who have just pushed themselves through a
demanding World Cup schedule to return to
domestic action straight away.
Irrespective of how much these guys
are paid, the toll on their bodies will
probably mean that half of the
2022/23 season will be written off for
those plying their trade in the top
leagues in the likes of England,
Germany, Spain and Italy. Eh…and
Scotland, of course!
With international fixtures being shuffled
around already so as not to affect the
bigger leagues and the UEFA club
competitions (Scotland v Gibraltar on a
Sunday evening appeal to anyone?), it is
most likely that national team matches
will be hit hard. Forget about friendlies.

SUPPORTERS’ NOTES
STUART MCGRADY FUND
A huge “thank you” to all those who contributed to our efforts to raise funds to support Stuart
McGrady’s family a couple of weeks ago. Between donations and the amazing amount of cash
given over at the quiz night, a total of £1,180 was raised to add to the fund set up by his exteammates at Hampden. Should you wish to contribute to the fund, which is now almost
£5000, the site link is: http://gogetfunding.com/project/stuart-mcgrady-memorial-fund
SALE OF DRESSING ROOM DOOR SIGNS
I fell heir to a number of dressing room door signs from Hampden Park and I’ll be selling these
off on Saturday at the Souvenir Shop. Most will be £5.00, but some will be £10.00 and all
money raised will be going to the Stuart McGrady Fund. There are clubs ones including Thistle
and Celtic, plus various international sides. These are one-off souvenirs and you really won’t be
able to get these anywhere else.
SOUVENIR SHOP
A big thanks to those who have been patronising the souvenir shop since we moved back to
Hampden. It’s no secret that sales out at Airdrie were very concerning, but it’s been heartening
to be back shifting loads of QP articles again.
Great news for you gastrognomes out there…Queen’s Park macaroon bars and tablet is back on
sale at the souvenir shop. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
AWAY TRAVEL: Hopefully we can rouse a decent number of you to come along to support the
team (and the away buses) for two big yins coming up:
BERWICK 28th March: Clarkston – 10.30, Mount Florida – 10.45 and High Street – 11.00am.
MONTROSE 4th April: Clarkston – 10.15, Mount Florida – 10.30 and High Street – 10.45am.
Costs for both will be: Adults in employment £14.00; concessions £11.00; under 16’s £5.00.
Those turning up on the day will be paying an additional £1.00. Please note that if anyone buys
a ticket in advance and can’t make the trip a full refund will be given or an exchange for a future
bus ticket. Just a wee reminder – travel tickets should be bought in advance, or you should let
Graeme Shields know that you’re intending to travel with us. Tickets are on sale from the Shop
and Graeme Shields on a Saturday, but if you don’t have a ticket, contact Graeme direct on –

DOUGIE MACKIE
I was reminded that QP fan Dougie Mackie sadly died 10 years ago this week. As gruff auld
rascals go (a kindred spirit, of course), he was one of my favourites! Someone recently
introduced me to his granddaughter, Aimee, who took up supporting Queen’s regularly a few
years ago in memory of Dougie, such was the effect he had on her. In an era where money
seems to rule the game, stories like this are quite touching.
