I haven’t heard about that, but I despair sometimes at the idiocy of clubs on these matters. Buckie got away with it when they won the HL IN 2017. ****s.
I ken you don’t tend to read fiction, but Robin Jenkins’s The Thistle and the Grail would entertain you. An edition published in the 1990s (I think) used that image of Johnny Hewitt after scoring in Gothenburg (referenced in another book - that one about the Washington Whips).
