40 YEARS AGO

TOM FORSYTH (above) had an off-day at Love Street when he was given his marching orders against St Mirren following a second yellow card after an altercation.

There was no shortage of action as the game ended in a 3-3 draw, with Frank McGarvey a two-goal hero for the Buddies. Brian Docherty got the other.

Sandy Jardine, Davie Cooper and Derek Johnstone all scored for the Gers.

Tommy Docherty was appointed manager of Derby County after the axe fell on Colin Murphy, who had been 10 months in the job.
