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.'
