Learn why Puskas and Socrates should've been Scottish, the versatility of the pie and Napoleon's links to Bovril and explore all the wonders of the game north of the Border - from Arthur Montford to the phone-in, Think Tanks, Buckfast, vanishing cream for referees, Twitter, VAR technology and flares (pyrotechnics, not 1970s attire). These exhibits distill the beauty of Scottish football into an entertaining volume that will make the perfect gift for any fan.\nTaking a satirical swipe at the beautifully flawed game, A History of Scottish Football in 100 Objects covers the mayhem, mavericks and bric-a-brac from the magic sponge, to the pie, hair weaves to tattoos.

'Best of Three', by Brown McMaster, President of the Scottish Football League: this is the third time Aberdeen and Dundee United have met at this stage since the two-leg home and away format was abolished over twenty years ago. Two of those semi-finals were played at Dens Park and both were won by the club from out of town, Aberdeen, whilst Dundee United won the semi-final meeting in season 1997\/98 at tonight's venue. Dundee United had the harder route: a spirited Ross County in the second round, then a Lee Wilkie goal to separate them from John Hughes' Falkirk, and a quarter-final against Hamilton Academical that looked easy on paper — but as Craig Levein said, there is no such thing as an easy quarter-final tie, and Billy Reid's First Division leaders battled before going down to a Noel Hunt hat-trick. Aberdeen were exempt in the second round as one of Scotland's four representatives in UEFA competitions; they were drawn at Firhill against Partick Thistle, where things might have been different had Jamie Langfield not saved Mark Roberts' fourteenth-minute penalty, but goals from Derek Young and Andy Considine made them comfortable winners. In the quarter-final they beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 4-1 with a rare Barry Nicholson hat-trick. The winners go to Hampden Park on Sunday 16 March to meet the winners of Rangers and Heart of Midlothian.

'Jim's Views': more than two years earlier Dunfermline celebrated their centenary, and \u003cb\u003eAberdeen, then managed by ex-Par Alex Ferguson, were kind enough to provide the opposition\u003c\/b\u003e as the Pars set the celebration ball rolling. There was a lot at stake that night - the young pretenders, keen to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with, against a full-strength Aberdeen side that had won almost every conceivable trophy and was being called, alongside Dundee United, the New Firm; few would have given the lowly Pars any chance, and the win that followed gave the club the inspiration and the new-found faith it needed. Aberdeen, \u003cb\u003enow managed by Fifer Ian Porterfield, have successfully regrouped since the sudden departure of Alex Ferguson for pastures new at Old Trafford\u003c\/b\u003e, and remain one of the most talented and talent-packed outfits in the country.
