john collins against Brasil, I hyperventilated!
Colin Stein's header at Wembulee '69 - we lost 4 - 1
charlie Nicholas' goal in the 2 -2 draw '83, we were 2 down and he controlled and lobbed with geat aplomb!
Kenny had a few! Spain '83, the second. Wasn't in Belgium '82 for his even greater one but my father was.
Denis law's header in '66, we lost 4 -3 and it was my first game.
Hutch's goal at Wembulleeeeeee!
Rioch scored a cracker against either Rumania or Denamark in '75
Super Ally Villa Park Euro '96 , mind you he had missed a bundle before.
His goal against Greece in the qualifiers where he came on from the bench and hit it with his ear for his 1st touch.

I remember this goal as if it were yesterday.
Kenny mis controls the ball, 1 -1 , they had scored first, and he mis hits it and Clemence mis catches it , and I mysteriously self combust with sheer happiness.

Alan Rough came outside his box to clear and ended up dribbling around an Englishman. the crowd went mad and 3 folk were resuccitated.
This scene was renacted in the film Braveheart, seemingly!
Mcgrain , the best full back in the world at the time, made a 50 yard sprint with only Clemence to beat. The crowd noticing it was Danny and even from the middle of the Celtic end I saw the fear in his face, well as I said, the crowd relaxed and waited for the inevitable. Danny took a bigger divot than Monty on the final green of the US Open needing 3 putts to win. Clemence bent down tied his shoe laces and then picked up the trundler.
Never mind the 2 - 1 victory was replayed a year later and a huge banner on Wembley Way had a cartoon of Clemence with bandy legs - proclaiming , ' Scots wa hae , spread them Ray!'
Ye cannae beat it!

John Robertson's penalty in '81 at Wembley. It was a dour game and Provan was upended in the box. robbo had a puff of his customery fag and slipped it past Joe corrigan.
We had been served with an asbo and a crowd of 81,000 turned up. Mostly Scots. The SfA had a picture of a banner in their old office reception proclaiming ' You tried to ban us Mr Croker' He was the Secretary of the Englisf FA. he claimed later to have the same picture in his office.

what about Kenny Millers goal against Italy, I was in the West Stand and it was brilliant. What a great day!
Tell me this have we ever won a friendly at Hampden? My Dad says we have but is not sure when.

I remember as if it were yesterday my first game , a friendly at home to Denmark in '51. Amazingly 75,000 turned up & we won 3 0. billy Steel got at least 1, And possibly Lawrie Reilly got one. there were 3 Hansens playing for the Danes and one enjoyed his pint in the Iron Horse after the game he decided to stay. He married a local and had 2 sons who went on to play senior football. One was called Alan , I met his dad one day and he said Alan was the fiercest patriot. fierceley Scottish and in no way an anglophile.
Wonder what happened to him?
to answer the question I think we last won a friendly at Hampden in the late 70s! remember we beat trinidad & tobago a couple of years ago at Easter road. Does this count?

Mitchell of Newcastle Utd got the 3rd, wish I had been there!
You know me and useless facts , I am guessing that the last time we won a friendly at home was the 6 -1 defeat of the old Yugoslavia in 1984. Surely not? They scored first, Cooper equalised and the rout went on from there.
