Just thinking back to the 1989/90 season when my dad started taking me along to cliftonhill and was wondering if anyone had any photos from around that time they could share on here? I remember going along to fir park to see us play Aberdeen in the skol cup that season but struggle to find any photos of that match

Funnily enough I was just thinking about that game recently. I don’t recall any photos for it kicking about. Rovers did really against a very good Aberdeen team with Charlie Nicholas in it . I’m sure Jim Bett played in that team also.

My dad played alongside Jim Bett as a kid, can’t remember now if it was boys club or County level? 🤔

Remember the game well at the ground of the well ! We gave a good account of ourselves against a really good Aberdeen team - much better that the current lot ! A truly unlucky season against top notch teams in the reconstructed Division 1 at the time - David Robertson got the first goal - real novelty there !!

I remember selling programmes at the match - a Well seller accompanied me round to the far side from the main stand only to find out that they weren’t opening that one. We did indeed give a good account, annoying it wasn’t at Cliftonhill and IIRC the crowd was pretty paltry 1500ish?
