@MattieChord They happen less often now than they once did. Look at the number of different teams who won championships in the first 20 years after the war.
Hibernian,Hearts,Aberdeen,Dund
ee and Kilmarnock. Also, look at the teams who won the cup in that period. Aberdeen,Motherwell,St.Mirren, Falkirk,Clyde,Hearts and Dunfermlie. -
@MattieChord They happened on a more regular basis.

Ross County 2 Celtic 0

i was there (aged 13), opposite the cameras in what was called the 'Centenary Stand'. Rangers were having a poor season and this was one of the poorer results. All credit of course to Arbroath.
I think the match was screened in black and white because STV's colour cameras were at the races (Ayr ?). Also, I think the original transmission broadcast the sound noticeably out of sync with the vision.
Thanks for posting !

Spot on assessment.
In the days before money killed competition, such results happened. Now its all so predictable. Good archive stuff though, thanks for posting.

Great footage (but it seems there was also a missed penalty) and a bit of a highlight in Arbroath's fine but not exactly glorious history.
Missed the game live first time round.
