SPFL Weekend in Numbers

The Lichties made it into the SPFL Weekend in Numbers thanks to Rab Douglas making his debut!

45 – Arbroath climbed into the promotion play-off places in Ladbrokes League 1 after beating Queen’s Park 2-0 at Hampden on Saturday.

The defeat ended the Red Lichties’ run of four straight away defeats against the Spiders – their last away win against Queen’s Park came at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie back in August 2014.

On Saturday, former Scotland goalkeeper Rab Douglas made his debut for Arbroath at the age of 45.

The ex-Celtic No 1 made his Scottish league debut for Meadowbank Thistle back in the 1993/94 season, which was three years before team-mate Scott Martin was born.

Douglas is the oldest player to appear in the Scottish leagues since Andy Millen turned out for Queen’s Park in May 2011, just a month or so short of his 46th birthday.
