The Scottish football season A to Z

The Scottish football season A to Z

Now that we have waved goodbye to season 2013-14, let’s have a wee look back in alphabetical order.

A is for Armageddon, which doesn’t seem to have reached this part of Scotland yet unless SFA chief executive Stewart Regan knows differently.

B is for Blue Brazil, with Cowdenbeath working their own wee miracle to stay in the Championship by emphatically beating neighbours Dunfermline in the play-off.

C is for Ciftcigate, which ended badly for the SFA as Dundee United doggedly defended their player Nadir amid allegations of throat-grabbing at Inverness.

D is for Drama, when Dundee held on at Dens to clinch the Championship crown and save Scottish football from the mayhem that would have followed a title-clinching 10-2 win for Hamilton over Morton.

E is for Edinburgh, with Auld Reekie losing both of her top-flight teams for the first time since a ball was kicked in Gorgie and Leith.

F is for Fans, with a record 28,000-plus backing United and a fabulous 15,000-plus supporting Saints at the Scottish Cup final, while almost 11,000 cheered Dundee over the promotion finishing line.

G is for Gauld, who showed so much promise but young Ryan has still to complete his footballing education at Tannadice.

H is for Hibs, whose demise was remarkable, painful, bewildering and predictable all at the same time.

I is for Ibrox, which sadly for the ordinary Rangers supporter has yet again been the scene of fiscal chaos and boardroom mayhem despite a League One championship.

J is for Jam Tarts, whose players fought bravely before succumbing to relegation and defiantly finished fewer than 15 points – the number they were deducted – behind Hibs.

K is for Kirkcaldy, which witnessed dancing on the streets of Raith after Rovers lifted the Ramsdens Cup by seeing off overwhelming favourites Rangers.

L is for Lennon, with Neil taking many people by surprise by quitting as Celtic manager at the end of the campaign despite yet another title win for him and his Hoops.

M is for May 17, surely one of the spookiest omens ever in Scottish football as striker Stevie’s number came up on the day in question.

N is for Never Forgotten and the fine players like Ian Redford and Frank Kopel who will always be fondly remembered.

O is for Overwhelming, the scenes in the centre of Perth as St Johnstone showed off the cup the day after beating United.

P is for Peaso, aka Peter MacDonald who scored what ultimately proved to be the precious winner for Dundee against Dumbarton on the nerve-shredding final day.

Q is for Quality, which describes Dundee United’s football during the pre-Christmas boom time.

R is for Rosenborg, the Norwegians beaten in the Europa League by Saints in July to signal this might be a special season down McDiarmid way.

S is for Scottish Cup, deservedly won by a talented and astutely-managed St Johnstone team for the first time in their history.

T is for Tartan Army, who will have to watch yet another World Cup on their TVs but have some reasons to be optimistic about Gordon Strachan’s Scotland.

U is for Unaffordable, the price of a cup final ticket for some supporters until the remarkable United for All fundraising campaign took off.

V is for Valour, with Raith producing a commemorative strip to honour the players who lost their lives in the First World War, one hundred years on.

W is for Wright, with Saints boss Tommy my manager of the year for bringing silverware and such sheer joy to his club in his first season in the job.

X is for X-rated, the language used by Ciftci’s United teammates as they shouted at him to stop celebrating and put the ball into the Rangers net at the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Y is for Yaya Toure, so cruelly denied a proper birthday bash by Manchester City when there is a Jolly Jim’s Pirates Play Centre just a mile from the Etihad.

Z is for Zzzzzzz, with the sleep-inducing Scottish League Cup final one of the dullest matches of the season until Aberdeen woke up to win the penalty shoot-out against Inverness.
