25e Ainslie Place Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Wrong Hansen. John played in the final. His wee brother had just turned 16 at the time. On 23rd October 1971, Thistle created nothing short of a major sensation in the football world when in the League Cup Final they demolished the all-conquering Celtic team of that period by four goals to one. Having led by an incredible 4-0 at half time! The names run ever so easily off every Thistle tongue: Rough, Hansen, Forsyth, Glavin, Campbell, Strachan, McQuade, Coulston, Bone, Rae, Lawrie. Substitute: Gibson. Alex Rae, Bobby Lawrie, Denis McQuade and Jimmy Bone all found the Celtic net, much to the delight of all Thistle fans (and a good few others as well!)
