When was the East Terracing at Hampden named the Jock Stein terracing, when and why was the name dropped?According to the Scottish Football Museum, the East Terracing at Hampden was named the Jock Stein Terracing in 1986, following Steinâs death the previous year.
This title was used by the SFA and the SFL but not by Queenâs Park Football Club, according to a Club representative.
The title remained in place until the mid-90s, when Hampden was refurbished and all stands were assigned generic names reflecting the basic geography of the park. Museum staff could not locate any records, such as minutes of meetings, in which the name of the terracing was discussed in detail. Thus, we are unable to provide a specific reason, or reasons, for the name being dropped.
There is, however, a Jock Stein Stand at Celtic Park Football Ground which is still known by this name.
