If you're bored, HERE (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54156072)'s a wee Football Ground quiz for you.

It's Scottish stadiums that either no longer exist or have changed beyond all recognition. The photos seem to be mostly from the 80s, but there's a couple a bit older


Let us know your scores... and maybe the ones you didn't recognise.

10/10 it was pretty easy tbh.

10/10 for me. I found the first one the most difficult as I couldn't remember the outside of 2 of the main stands, but it was the floodlights that gave me the answer.

Full house and remember them all well - apart from one as not old enough. BBC comment on one of them was wrong though.

Yes. I thought it was the main stand and then questioned it as it was all seated in the 80s. There comment was obviously wrong though.
Edit - it might have been the late 70s actually when it was all seated. Remember Kilbowie being the other early all seated stadium.

Very easy quiz for those of us of a certain age.

Kilbowie was all-seated because Clydebank were too tight-fisted to replace the crash barriers and found it cheaper to put in bench seating.

Coventry City became all-seater around 1981 by closing the one standing area of the stadium! Jimmy Hill was chairman at the time.

8/10 for me.
Didn't get Muirton or Firs Park - neither of which I've ever been to.
(Never been to Cathkin either, but I thought that one was a bit too obvious).

(Never been to Cathkin either, but I thought that one was a bit too obvious).I only went to Muirton a couple of times and don't think I seen the main stand from the outside. From the choices it was either there or Cappielow. I remember that Morton bought Rangers' floodlights when Ibrox was redeveloped and they were mounted on the roofs as opposed to towers, so it could only be Muirton in the photo.
