MATCHDAY QUOTES
“It was just a typical forward's lunge - not malicious at all [Warren Aspinall’s 77’ tackle on Trevor Putney].
“[Goalscorer Paul] Elliott remains on the transfer list but he has shown a great attitude since returning to the team and it is up to him to make any further decision."
Billy McNeill.
