| 1. Author: stoo61 Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 08:59 A famous match but i have what is a seemingly simply question I cannot find the answer to. Perhaps the hive mind of .net knows. Celtic wore the green and white hoops...what colour did Dunfermline wear? Every search says "the traditional black and white stripes" but the black and white photographs of the day have us in a single block colour. Anyone know? Anyone there? Reply |

| 6. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 09:28 Almost identical to the Chelsea kit of that era. Absolutely not the traditional black and white strip. Incidentally, the cup final top worn on the Saturday was a variation on the usual jersey with a black pin stripe down the centre - the replica version sold by Toffs a few years ago was inaccurate. They did not respond to being corrected !!! Reply |

| 8. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 13:42 Does anyone know what strip Celtic wore, it wasnt green and white hoops, in the Scottish cup defeat to the Pars in January 1968?  Reply |
| 9. Author: GG Riva Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 15:25 saltonsgonagetu, Thu 29 Jan 13:42 Not 100% sure, Salton, but was it not all green with white shorts! There`s a famous pic of Roy Barry and John Lunn both tackling wee Jinky. I believe Roy has it on his mantle piece.  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |

| 12. Author: vasco Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 15:48 Celtic wore their traditional green and white hoops. In those days in Scotland if there was a potential colour clash the home team wore their change strip. Reply |
| 13. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 15:55 For the end of season Cup winners v Champions elect at EEP on 30/04/1968 Celtic wore their regular hoops. There is a photo of Roy Barry and Billy McNeill coming down the steps from the dressing rooms messing around jostling the trophy between. Bertie Auld didn`t feature that night - maybe Big Jock was playing it safe, mindful of the Jim Fraser incident. Celtic wore ALL green at Parkhead in the earlier 3rd round tie, 27/01/1968, the Pars in their usual kit. Post Edited (Thu 29 Jan 15:56) Reply |

| 15. Author: CitizenPar Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 16:30 I remember that "Chelsea strip" well and thought it was quite smart. Reply |
| 16. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 16:50 Celtic wore all green tops and shorts with white socks in the 68 cup match Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 17. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 29th Jan 2026. 18:00 Yes GG - the image of John Lunn and Roy Barry tackling Jinky is not from the ‘68 cup match. Reply |

| 19. Author: twin par Date: Fri 30th Jan 2026. 11:55 As I have said before,I was at that game. It was, as a 11 year old,a terrifying experience.How more people were not badly hurt was astounding.That could easily have been another ibrox situation. Reply |
| 20. Author: GG Riva Date: Fri 30th Jan 2026. 13:12 twin par, Fri 30 Jan 11:55 A significant contributory factor in the Ibrox Disaster was the hugh embankment behind the goal and the very steep steps leading to the exits. No doubt you`ll remember that many Rangers fans had left or were leaving when they heard the roar celebrating Rangers` last minute equaliser. As they rushed back up the steep stairs, the ref blew for full time and those who had waited until the end rushed towards the exits. Result - utter carnage. The EEP exits were relatively flat in 1968. I didn`t get to the stadium until about 5 mins before kick off, by which time the turnstiles were closed. A group of Celtic fans pushed down one of the big exit doors and we all rushed in. There were fans all around the track, on the roof of the North Stand, up the pylons and even the roofs of the kiosks at the Cowden end. I believe a 67 year old Celtic fan attending his first ever live game was the only fatality. Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
