The Legacy
Jimmy Frizzell succeeded Billy McNeill as manager in 1986, after McNeill left for Aston Villa. Philips sponsored the Umbro kit worn during this difficult attempt to bounce back. Paul Simpson provided regular service from the flank, while Andy Hinchcliffe gained valuable experience before his eventual move to Everton. Kenny Clements remained a fixture in the back line throughout the campaign. The team struggled to find a rhythm, ultimately finishing 21st in the First Division and suffering relegation. Results stayed erratic, leaving the club adrift from the promotion spots by the final day of the season.
Key Moment
