Jukebox Durie is our weekly review of the best (and the worst) Scottish football songs.
When Rangers beat Hibs 7-0 in December 1995, Gordon “Jukebox” Durie scored four times. You might expect that a man who scores four would make the back page of every paper, but not this time. Gordon played with Gazza, and everyone remembers what Gazza did in this game…
Midway through the match, Gazza spotted that referee Douglas Smith had dropped his yellow card. Being a good sort, Gazza picked it up and tried to give it back, but not before, with a flourish, he pretended to book the referee.
Douglas Smith was not amused, though all the fans were laughing, and Smith grabbed the card back and booked Gazza for dissent.
It is with considerable delight that this week’s column is dedicated to the man who gives it its name: Gordon “Jukebox” Durie. Two weeks ago Gordon was appointed manager of East Fife and we wish him all the best in the new role!
East Fife fans sing “The Cowden Family”:
