A Dundee author has written a new book about how one Dark Blues player became a legend at two clubs he never played for.
Albert Kidd is celebrated by both Celtic and Hibernian fans for the two goals he scored against Hearts on the final day of the 1985/86 season.
Hearts were favourites to win the game as they had not been beaten in 27 games and only needed a draw to win the title for the first time since 1959/60.
Instead, substitute Kidd’s two goals in the final minutes handed the title to Celtic, who had beaten St Mirren 4-0.
Grant Hill’s book AK 86: Two Shots in the Heart of Scottish Football tells the story of that day from the perspective of players and fans.
It includes contributions from players and fans of all the clubs involved and an interview with Kidd, who is now based in Australia.
Grant said: “Over the years I’ve spoken to Hearts, Dundee, Celtic, Hibs and Rangers fans about that day and it’s incredible the different reactions you get when Albert’s name is mentioned.
“What happened was unthinkable considering Albert had only started four games that year, hadn’t scored in the league and hadn’t featured for months. For Hearts to have lost out on the league in those circumstances was absolutely devastating for them and I think every football fan can imagine how crushing it would be to lose the league in such circumstances.
Kidd will join Grant at Dens Park to on May 3 to mark the 30th anniversary of his dramatic intervention in the title race. K 86: Two Shots in the Heart of Scottish Football will be be published on Kindle, iBook and Kobo on the same date.
