1945

On this day 81 years ago, the Spiders defeated Hamilton Accies 4-0 in a Southern League match at Hampden Park. Tony Harris scored a second half hat-trick and future Scotland manager Ian McColl added a fourth.

On the same afternoon, England beat Scotland 3-2 in a wartime international before a crowd of 66,000 at Villa Park in Birmingham. Bobby Brown of Queen’s Park, who would also go on to manage the national side, played in goal for the Scots.
