1986–87 in Scottish football
Template:Short description Template:Use British English Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Script error: No such module "Infobox". The 1986–87 season was the 90th season of competitive football in Scotland.[1]
In the first full season under the management of player-manager Graeme Souness, Rangers won their first league title since 1978, and also won the League Cup. The title winning side featured two English players enjoying their first season north of the border - defender Terry Butcher and goalkeeper Chris Woods.
Celtic manager David Hay paid the price for a trophyless season and was sacked after four years, paving the way for the return of Billy McNeill, the man he had succeeded in 1983.[2]
Aberdeen manager Alex Ferguson moved south of the border on 6 November to manage Manchester United.[3] He was succeeded at Pittodrie by Ian Porterfield. At the end of the season, Ferguson brought Celtic's top scorer Brian McClair to United, while McClair's strike-partner Mo Johnston moved to France to sign for Nantes.
St Mirren won the Scottish Cup with a 1–0 win over Dundee United in the final. Dundee United also lost to IFK Goteborg of Sweden in the UEFA Cup final.
