I was there only 9 years old,always went with the Dundee loyal,some great times in my life with some great rangers men,miss you guys,you know who you are.WATP, NO SURRENDER EVER.
the summer of the century loomed after this game,uk baked for about 3 months solid without rain. i remember cheering when it first rained,how times have changed!
Will never forget that day , first ever rangers game with my dad , 8 years old ,pissing miserable day ,deafining noise and when DJ scored in the first minute some old bloke behind me ,picked me up and started shaking me , my fuckin pie went flying and i nearly shat my pants ......had that goal in my head ever since and this is the first time iv seen it ....... Cheers Mr Struth for uploading.
You are spot on about the gate at the Celtic end being forced open. Our bus had broken down and we never got to Hampden till just on half time, in fact as we reached the top of the terracing, wee Doddie scored the second.(Hated him then but later in life love the wee man)! I remember clearly a Hearts supporter getting arrested , and handing me his flag, "Hampden 76" on it, covered in blood!! If we had one the cup that day, we would not have got out alive. Scarey expierence!!
Been looking for this video for ages, even though I'm a Hearts supporter! It was my first ever cup final, aged 11, and remember it well. Pouring rain, and bottles flying all over the place (celtic end) . It said official crowd was 85 thousand but there was many more I think!!
@8busby It was also my first cup final though I was slightly younger than you, the standard view from most Rangers fans I have spoken to and on followfollow website were sure the crowd was more than the estimated attendance. Apparently a gate was forced open at the Celtic end and loads of supporters fired in. Its also true that bottles cans and punches were exchanged among the rival fans however I have no recollection of seeing this thankfully. I used to wear a hard hat at games, just in case !!

@NUTTER1234567890123 It was indeed, many fans had not even entered the ground when he scored, a couple of minutes before 3pm I believe ;-)
