    Ref: R ValentineScottish TVa€™s first ever live league game, and on Sunday too. With Aberdeen having dropped out of contention, the occasion has lost much of its bite. Aberdeen were awarded a mysterious penalty to threaten Heartsa€™ seven-month unbeaten run. McQueen then fluffed a late clearance.

    I remember Dundee beating Rangers 3-0 at Ibrox in season 73/74 in a Scottish cup tie on a Sunday

    Thanks lads.

    Dunno if anyone on here will be old enough to remember Sunday games from the 60s.

    I say that's good enough for me to declare it a fact that there were no Sunday games in Scotland pre 1970.

    I cannae find much on google but I would be pretty confident that the first Sunday Football up here would've come after the English game in '74.

    Could be totally wrong like.

    I did find out that James I's ban on football was only officially ended in 1906.

    As a result every trophy won before then is tainted.
