ON THIS DAY IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL
IT HAPPENED TODAY IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL
1956 Scotland’s first B International was a 0-0 draw with France in Toulouse in
November 1952, and the first match against England was a 2-2 draw at Easter
Road the following March. In 1954 the match at Sunderland was drawn and the
weather put paid to the 1955 fixture at Ibrox. On 29th February 1956, there was
another draw, 2-2 at Dens Park. The last of this short series of B Internationals
against England was the only one not to be drawn, the Saxons winning 4-1 at St
Andrews, Birmingham in February 1957. B Internationals fell out of favour until
yet another draw, 1-1 with France at Pittodrie in 1987, then there were two played
in 1990, against Yugoslavia and East Germany. Successive Scotland managers
brought them back into use between 1994 and 2009, when 20 B Internationals
were played. The 1956 fixture was watched by 11,500 at Dens Park, who saw
goals from Jimmy Mulkerrin and Willie McCulloch for the home side, and Tommy
Taylor of Manchester United and Bristol City’s John Atyeo for the visitors. The
Scots team wasL Brown (Dundee), Kerr (Partick Thistle), Rae (Falkirk), Neilson
(St Mirren), Malloy (Cardiff City), Glen (Aberdeen), Cullen (Luton Town), Yorston
(Aberdeen), Mulkerrin and Turnbull (both Hibs) and McCulloch (Airdrie).
2012 Scotland Under 21s drew 0-0 with Netherlands in a European Championship
qualifier watched by 6,607 at New St Mirren Park. The Scots team was Mark
Ridgers (Hearts), Ross Perry (Rangers) captain Paul Hanlon (Hibs), Danny Wilson
(Liverpool), David Wotherspoon (Hibs), Ryan Jack (Aberdeen), Gary Mackay-
Stevem (Dundee United), Liam Kelly (Kilmarnock), Tom Cairney (Hull City, Jordan
Rhodes (Huddersfield Town) and Jonny Russell (Dundee United). Scott Allan (West
Brom) and Michael O’Halloran (Bolton) came on as substitutes.
