As a schoolboy I remember standing behind the goal at the eastern end of Cathkin, at the Scottish Cup Tie with Dunfermline in 1966. It was a freezing cold late afternoon with the lights on(well half of them as usual). Dunfermline were 2-1 up and we got a penalty with a couple of minutes left. Harry Kirk s...

FINLAY JUNIOR MCGILLIVRAY. 1959 - 1964. One of the finest full backs to grace the Scarlet was Finlay Junior McGillivray. He joined up at Cathkin in 1959, and provided five years of quite magnificent service. His total dedication, enthusiasm, and undoubted talents, tuned him very quickly into a fa...

In 1960 I was a 13 year old boy at Camphill S.S.School in Paisley.We drew St.Mirren in the cup and I went to Love Street and watched us take on a very good home team that day.We took them apart and how they got out of it with a 3 - 3 draw still is beyond me. But hey! Replay at Cathkin, playing well,home support no...

Hi Hi, On 2nd. April, the Grandson of Matt Barclay, sent an e -mail re information on Matt, who was an extremely capable centre half in the Thirds side of the late forties. Unfortunately the gremlins on my PC have worked to destroy his e-mail address, so I am writing this in the hope tha...

Obviously not been around at that time, I do not know how much publicity was given about the clubs demise, though I would guess quite a lot, but did Celtic winning the cup in the same year unfairly overshadow what was happening at Cathkin?
