Former footballer Roy McCormack and ex-journalist Alex Mooney roll back the years of Scottish football history. Our pair share their stories of watching Rangers, Celtic and Scotland legends over eight different decades. They also look back at how the game has changed for fans and players and reveal some amazing stories from years gone by. If you love football and want to know more about legends from the past, this is the podcast for you.
On this packed debut episode, Roy reveals his memories of watching Rangers becoming the first Scottish club to play in a European final, against Fiorentina of Italy 60 years ago this month. He shares his favourite Jim Baxter moments and compares Slim Jim to some fellow Ibrox legends, including wonder winger Davie Cooper.
Alex looks back 60 years at his first Celtic match and the bizarre circumstances surrounding it. The fitba grandads recall their boyhood memories of the old Ibrox and there is a fantastic story revealing why Duncan Ferguson named his favourite pigeon after fellow Light Blues striker Ally McCoist. And guess which current Ibrox star Roy reckons would have made a great inside forward in 'old money'!
