Pictured here from Marion Brownlee via Alex Rochead, these great photos show the photo opportunity at Castle Park, looking over towards the back of the houses at John Street and what was then, the brand new Sports Centre.
At Ibrox Stadium in season 1981 – 1982, Vics won the Scottish Junior Cup for a third time, under manager John Young, when they defeated Baillieston 1-0.
The team that day was: Burns, Davenport, McGlinchey, Muldoon, McVie, Grant, McQuade, McGurk, Kennedy, Coggill and Mitchell. Substitutes were Ward and Hamilton. McGurk scored the winning goal. At a pinnacle of success, Mr. Duncan resigned from management of Vics in 1982. In 1981/1982 Robert Burns was the youngest keeper to play in a Scottish Cup Final at 19 years old.
