IIRC Hearts hit the woodwork 3 times in that game - and to this day I detest Provan. I'm the same regarding Provan. Can't forget such a blatant display of cheating, to get a fellow professional sent off. He used the past reputation and record of Willie Johnston to get him sent off. When you hear him criticise players on Sky Sports for being less than honest, it really has you shouting at the tv. It's hard to understand how he got that job anyway. No profile in English football, and hardly an expert. Much like his mate, Nicholas, who managed to take a wage from Sky for years, masquerading as some kind of knowledgeable pundit. At least Nicholas actually played for a top English club. He's also in that photo, about to put his tuppenceworth in to make sure Willie got sent off. It was a fortunate day for Hearts when we tried to sign Provan, but ended up with JC instead.

It was a fortunate day for Hearts when we tried to sign Provan, but ended up with JC instead. In his book "On the Wing" Willie Johnston lays into Provan big time. Johnston admits having a wee slap as he took the throw in, but accuses him of a Marlon Brando impersonation, of acting as if hit by a flame thrower and wonders if he can sleep at night. Johnston's also has a big time complaint against Brian McGinlay, who sent him off for supposedly headbutting! I was there, I saw it and I have no doubt that Provan conned the referee.

The police got a real beating and the rest of the game was a massive frisbee throwing competition of police hats. I was thinking about the game today actually and I have no idea how I got to/from the game. And yet I can remember the actual game really well. A workmate who was a Celtic fan was at the game and said the noise from the Hearts fans was incredible. Was that the game that Peter shields got his leg broken after a tackle from Danny Mcgrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the linesman saw it either as he was right in front of me checking out a substitute who was coming on. There was a mighty roar and we all turned round to see Provan lying face down on the turf. Somehow the linesman whilst looking in another direction told the Referee that Johnson had assaulted Provan. I will never believe that. What I did see was Peter Shields getting away with a horrendous and dangerous tackle on McGrain. McGrain returned the compliment plus some.
