Who remembers the Scottish football book

I found the yearly publication from season 1970-71
That year Dumbarton FC were in the old 2nd div both leagues had 18 teams
Celtic were fresh from a European cup final 4 months before and had legends like McGrain and Dalglish , possibly the last 2 world classplayersof Scottish birth.
Jock Stein was the Manager
My friend Rab has a newspaper cutting and here it is
No Sons fan under 50 will remember this night we were so close to glory.
2 games ,both went to extra time and Celtics winning goal should never have stood asthe ball went over the by line as it was crossed.
Not that I hold grudges.
A drink for anyone who can name the 4 players drinking from the bucket
Aye nae sports drinks thrown onto the pitch then.
It was a real game not this tippy tappy shit you will see tonight
I am reminiscing here ,a sign that age is moving on
