Today’s photo of the day comes from the 1963 Scottish Cup Final.
129,527 people packed into Hampden Park for the game between Celtic and Rangers. A swirling wind and pouring rain battered the players, which made for a disappointing spectacle.
Unsurprisingly, the match ended in a draw (1-1), and goals came from Brand and Murdoch, in the 43rd and 45th minute respectively.
Despite the caption, the below image shows Duncan ‘Dunky’ MacKay clearing the ball out for a throw in, under pressure from Rangers’ Davie Wilson.

The replay was set for 15 May and, unfortunately, the Celts were trounced 3-0 on that occasion.
