I know Alan Crawford did score us the winning goal, I think in extra time, but I know I wasn't there. I think it was a two-leg affair and I think I saw the home match ....... I'm going to have a look and see if Wiki or somewhere will tell me. I watched us beat Rangers.

The entries for the competition were very odd. I remember in its final year there weren't any good English teams in it. I know as a fact only one Scottish team ever won it - St Mirren - but that was a quiz fact.

Did we win it the only time we ever entered?

Yes just been on Wiki and the year we won it was the only ever team we entered the competition. Celtic only entered it once. Not a lot of good Scottish teams entered it.
