Yes, Jim lost his place for a number of years, although whether he played no games at all might be difficult to find out.

When I started going regularly as a youngster about 77 onwards, Mike McDonald was the regular keeper. Jim must have won his place back about the time of that trip as he was certainly the keeper in the 1979 cup final a few months after that trip.

Jim McArthur an £8000 signing from Cowdenbeath in 1972 made 296 appearances

1976/77 and 1977/78 he made no appearances difficult to say if he was dropped ( ET could be unforgiving with out of form goalkeepers) or injured returning to the team 20/1/1979 in a 1-1 home draw versus Aberdeen his last appearance was a 0-3 loss away to Dundee United on 20/11/1982

He also played for Meadowbank Thistle Morton and Raith Rovers
