    Not even an SPL side, a proper test for us

    At this late stage there can't have been many sides available that weekend.

    Make it cheap as chips to get in and slash the food/drink prices. Only chance of getting anything like a crowd.

    Maybe the return of Neil Alexander will put a few thousand on the gate?

    That's interesting, didn't know he was there. Surely the club have to market this one with Alexander in mind!

    Remember the two crucial saves, one at Ninian & the other at Trashton Gate.

    Can't find any film, but it mentions the one save here.

    Was that the save against Christian Roberts when the ball was behind Alexander and he scooped it away?

    Great keeper, think he might have been treated harshly by the club but can't remember the details (Jones kept bringing in other keepers but nobody was ever as good).

    Used to take some stick on here for his inability to save penalties, despite saving one (which didn't count as they scored on the rebound)

    Played in the UEFA cup final for Rangers after leaving us.

    IMO we've been spoilt for keepers until recently.
    Alexander, Marshall, Heaton
