That Was The Team That Was is a Scottish television programme that documented successful time periods for Scottish football sides. The show was broadcast on BBC One Scotland every Friday night and has recently ended its third series. Its title is derived from the 1960s BBC satire That Was The Week That Was. Produced by Brendan O'Hara of BBC Scotland. The show was cancelled by the BBC and ended on 22 February 2008 as BBC Scotland confirmed that no more episodes of the show would be produced.
In 1986 Graeme Souness was appointed Rangers manager and, aided by transfer spending unprecedented in Scottish football, he led the side to their first League title in 10 years.
Don Revie's league-winning Leeds team were the first English side featured, however it contained numerous Scots, including Billy Bremner, Joe Jordan and Eddie Gray.
Jimmy Nicholl's Kirkcaldy side won their first major honour by defeating Celtic in the League Cup final and also earned promotion to the Premier Division through their league form.
Celtic won the League for the first time since 1988 under Dutch coach Wim Jansen, in the process stopping major rivals Rangers from setting a new record of 10 League titles in a row.
Hibs were the subject of a hostile takeover bid by rivals Hearts' chairman Wallace Mercer in 1990. From the verge of extinction they recovered to win the League Cup against Dunfermline Athletic just over a year later.
Craig Brown's side was the second Scottish team to qualify for the European Championship finals, which were held in neighbouring England in 1996.
