Jimmy Boag Returns To Cappielow

Jimmy Boag returned to Cappielow recently and couldn't believe the changes from his time at the club.

An article in Saturday's match day programme reveals that the 51 year old was over on a visit from his new home in Australia. He dropped into Cappielow to catch up with Derek Collins and Davie Wylie - both former team mates - and while there he also took a tour of the ground.

Boag is quoted as saying: "I've got many happy memories of my time at Cappielow, with John Boag, Allan McGraw and the rest of the boys."

According to Neil Brown's player appearances web page Jimmy Boag played 73 times and scored 12 goals between 1986 and 1990. This isn't entirely accurate, it's possible these stats are for league appearances only.
