Thirds in the Sunday Papers
(Preview)
I see there is a brief feature in The Sunday Post on Thirds in 1967. There is an excellent feature on the HiHi in todays Sunday Herald by Archie Mcpherson as well. Think it would be quite a good idea for fans to post on here if any more articles are spotted in any of the papers, think with coming up to the 40th...

Third Lanark Exhibition
(Preview)
I have heard a couple of rumours that Bob Laird is supposed to be having an exhibition on Third Lanark on Monday 5th March in Lesser Hampden. It is a rumour, so am wondering if anyone has had this confirmed or spoken to Bob Laird to find out what times etc it is on at?

Just a thought
(Preview)
I was just wondering about the footage Bert has as I was driving home tonight. Not having been fortunate enough to have seen it (yet), I wondered how much he had and whether there was any more out there that he knew about, together with what the quality was like. This got me thinking whether he had ever con...

League Champions
(Preview)
The Thirds team that was in existance at the turn of the 20th century must rank as their greatest ever eleven culminating in League and Cup success. The league win was even more astonishing by virtue of the fact they played all their games away from home while Cathkin was being improved. There is some g...
