'The Glasgow FA Select v The Football League match was played at Hampden on Tuesday 17 May 1977, with a 3pm kick-off and with a crowd of 28,380, including the Queen. The Glasgow side won the game by 2-1 with Kenny Dalglish scoring the winner.

The Glasgow shirt has the colours of all the Glasgow sides, Celtic, Queens Park, Partick Thistle, Clyde and Rangers.

The shorts being red with a yellow side panel and black and white socks.

The Glasgow FA team was: Alan Rough (Partick Thistle), Danny McGrain (Celtic), Brian Whittaker (Partick Thistle), Jardine (Rangers), Roddy McDonald (Celtic), Forsyth (Rangers), McLean (Rangers) – sub McNaughton (Queen’s Park), Kenny Dalglish (Celtic), Joe Craig (Celtic), MacDonald (Rangers) and Johnstone (Rangers). The substitute was Somner (Partick Thistle).

The Football League squad was as follows: Corrigan (Manchester City), Clements (Manchester City), Peach (Southampton), Stanley (Chelsea), Watson (Manchester City), Wilkins (Chelsea), Francis (Birmingham), Channon (Southampton), Royle (Manchester City), Barnes (Manchester City), Owen (Man City) and Tueart (Manchester City). There were so many Manchester City players due to that club being one of the few to have fulfilled all their fixtures.

The sides were managed by the managers of the England and Scotland at the time – Don Revie for The Football League and Willie Ormond for Glasgow FA. This game was Ormond’s last duty as manager prior to Ally Macleod assuming control of the national team. Wonder how that went?

Tueart scored the opening goal for the visitors, with Jardine equalising before King Kenny [Dalglish] got the winner for Glasgow.'
