Historical Matches:

The North American Soccer League was a twelve-team tournament played across North America from May to July 1967. Ten European and two South American teams took part, playing under assumed North American identities. Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee United participated under the names Toronto City, Washington Whips and Dallas Tornado. It was a one-time experiment intended to excite North American interest in soccer. The most notable long-term effect of the competition was that Dundee United permanently adopted the orange and black strip they wore as Dallas Tornado.

Let's follow Toronto City (a.k.a. Hibs) through the 12 twelve-game NASL schedule.

Scottish Junior Cup Final, 1960

JUNIOR CUP TO ST ANDREWS

From Our Special Correspondent

St Andrews United 3,

Greenock Juniors 1

St Andrews United won the Scottish Junior Cup on Saturday with an unexpected and somewhat fortuitous win in the final against Greenock Juniors at Hampden Park.

Greenock were much the better side in the first half, when they scored their goal, but poor finishing prevented them from taking as big a lead as their superior outfield play merited. St Andrews' infrequent attacks generally were competently dealt with by the powerful Greenock defence.

The match continued in the same vein until three goals for the Fife side in less than 12 minutes quite upset the rhythm of Greenock's attack. They eventually recovered, but St Andrews were by then a much more confident and forceful side.

Lister, sure handed and agile in their goal, and Davidson at centre half served St Andrews best in defence. All of the forwards, whose play if unmethodical was enthusiastic, appeared to profit from the move of Borella, who started on the right wing, to inside left late in the first half, but their attacks often broke down because of inaccurate passing.

Stewart, at right half, was Greenock's outstanding player. He worked hard in defence and was also very useful in giving added thrust to the attack. Greenock stifled his effectiveness, however, when they moved him to centre forward after their opponents' second goal, relegating the nippy McKellar, their goal-scorer, to the half-back line.

The defence were less steady after the barrage of goals against them, but Buchanan remained cool at centre half.

Good Goals

Three of the goals were most intelligently taken. In the twenty-sixth minute Stewart, although he almost lost control, ran the ball down the right wing to the by-line and chipped it across the goal-mouth to Winter, who headed into the centre, and Samuel let the ball run through to McKellar, who beat Lister with a fine drive.

Borella accepted with alacrity the chance to equalize in the fifty-seventh minute after the defence had failed to stop a weak cross from Smith on the left, and four minutes later he again scored with a magnificent shot from the edge of the penalty area after carrying the ball just clear of the left back. McGinlay, who had no chance to prevent these goals, was most unfortunate in the sixty-eighth minute when an innocuous shot by Penman (W.) struck Buchanan and spun past the goalkeeper.

Greenock almost reduced the margin in the hard-fought closing stages -- the play was then unfortunately marked more by petty offences and injuries than constructive football -- when Stewart gathered a neat through pass from McCartney, but his shot struck the underside of the crossbar and rebounded to the inside right, whose header was tipped over the bar by Lister.

ST ANDREWS UNITED -- Lister; Penman (W. P.) and Hughes; Crookston, Davidson, and Wills; Carmichael and Fraser; Smith; Penman (W.) and Borella.

GREENOCK JUNIORS -- McGinlay; Riley and Hogg; Stewart, Buchanan, and Brabender; Gibson and McCartney; McKellar; Samuel and Winter.

Referee -- I. Smart (Bo'ness).

Mortonalia

Reckoning that climate change will bring Greenock even more rain than the too much it already receives the club is installing drainage pipes under the main stand side of the pitch. Picture.

Andrew Barrowman (Morton 2014-15) is the new CEO of Raith Rovers.

SPFL Conference League

The powers that be have been pushing a proposal to insert a new league between League Two and the fifth tier, to be made up of four Premiership reserve squads and six lower league clubs. Almost everyone below League Two hates this idea because it puts another league between them and the SPFL. And almost everyone in the SPFL hates it because it's the next step toward B teams playing in League One and the Championship, which might fly in Germany but no in Scotland.

Aberdeen, who were previously floated as one of four Premiership clubs to participate, have opted out. (They didn't have a reserve team this year.) There is talk that Queen's Park will take the fourth B-team spot.

Which Scottish clubs had reserve teams in 2022-23?

In the Lowland League: Celtic, Hearts, Rangers

In the Reserve League: Ayr Utd, Dundee, Dundee Utd, Hamilton, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Motherwell, Queen of the South, Queen's Park
