Scottish Football Mixture Trivia Quiz

Answer: Aberdeen

Managed by Alex Ferguson, Aberdeen enjoyed a golden era in the 1980s, winning the league three times between 1980 and 1985. Since then, it had all been about Celtic and Rangers.

Answer: Stirling Albion

Stirling Albion were formed in 1945 and played their home games at Annfield Park until 1993, when they moved into the new Forthbank Stadium. The ground has a similar name to that of King's Park FC, the town's previous club, who had played at Forthbank Park before the club was dissolved in 1945.

Answer: Berti Vogts

Berti Vogts was a defender who represented West Germany 96 times between 1967 and 1978. The Scottish F.A. appointed him as national team manger in 2002, but his two and a half year tenure was regarded by most fans as one of the worst in the country's history. In the week after his tenure ended, Scotland's FIFA World Ranking was #77, their worst-ever.

Answer: Ross County

Ross County were formed in Dingwall in 1929, and take their name from the former county of Ross & Cromarty, now part of the Highland council area. The club were members of the Highland League until 1994 when they were admitted into the Scottish League.

They made their mark over the next couple of decades, working their way through the divisions to the top tier, reaching the 2010 Scottish F.A. Cup final, where they lost 0-3 to Dundee United, and winning the 2016 Scottish League Cup, defeating Hibernian 2-1 in the final.

Answer: Clyde

Clyde defeated Motherwell 4-0 in the 1938-19 Scottish Cup final, their first-ever triumph in the competition. A few months later, Germany invaded Poland, and the competition was put in abeyance until the 1946-47 season, when Aberdeen were the winners. Clyde, therefore, hold the record of the longest tenure as cup holders!

He made his Scotland debut against Belgium in 1971, and made his 102nd and final appearance for his country against Luxembourg in 1986. He scored 30 goals for Scotland.

Answer: Wembley Wizards

On 31st March 1928, Scotland travelled to Wembley Stadium to face England in a British Championship match, having already lost to both Northern Ireland and Wales. They exceeded all expectations by recording a 5-1 victory, and have been immortalised as the "Wembley Wizards" ever since. Alex Jackson scored a hat-trick and Alex James scored twice for Scotland, with Bob Kelly grabbing a late consolation goal for England.

Answer: Third Lanark

Third Lanark were based at Cathkin Park, a short distance from Hampden Park, in the south side of Glasgow. In season 1903-04, they won the league title by four points from Heart of Midlothian, the only time that a Glasgow team other than Celtic or Rangers have won the title. Sadly, Thirds will never repeat that feat, as they were dissolved in 1967.
