Rangers 3 Celtic 0 1985 Ibrox stadium previously unseen footage

Rangers 3 Celtic 0 1985 Ibrox stadium, goals from Durrant, Cooper and McMinn, this is unseen footage due to a TV strike at that time, the match was never recorded, this footage is from a camcorder from the govan stand and captures the atmosphere and its noticable how much things have changed in the game, players go make hard tackles without being shown a card.

Im a tim and was in the west enclosure that day, i cant even remember this being on the telly. But after the doing we got that day im glad i missed it!

@Upeter2 There was a TV strike, although Rangers were the better side its clear that both team got steamed in from the first whistle, were this game to be played today, there would have been at least a couple of red cards for each team. Oh for football to be a mans game again.

@MrStruth Damn right!!! im sick of all these soft men falling about at the slighest contact. I was in the broamloan rear for the 4-4 game, do you have that. And what about the glasgow cup final, i hear there is a video doing the rounds.

[MrStruth]

@Upeter2 Im sure the 4-4 game is uploaded somewhere on youtube, I do have it yes. the Glasgow cup final at Ibrox was a fantastic match, a Friday night, Ibrox was full and the atmosphere was superb, never ever seen any footage of that one sadly :(

Your videos just keep impressing me, thank you for uploading these onto youtube. I have alot of old videos that my dad had and it's good to watch them but alot of this is very rare.

We are the people!

[MrStruth]

@rangersforme1 Yes thiswas never shown on tv, I was fortunate to have been loaned a copy of the match which a wise Bear manged to record by smuggling his camcorder into the ground !

Sounded like a wall of noise throughout the entire game, check out the atmosphere in the old east enclosure where everyone was standing, bring back safe standing areas!

How was this able to get recorded ? Did who ever done it sneak in a massive TV camera ? Because they certainly didn't have mobile camera's back then.

Great once again Mr Struth, thanks for putting this on for us

Does anyone know if footage exists of the only other remaining untelevised old firm derby that season from New Year's Day 1986 or any other matches affected from the 1985-86 TV strike?

[allanscot1]

I was at this game. That season was a nightmare but this was one of the highlights. I can actually remember being a bit disappointed with the score as it should have been more than 3! The next 2 games at Ibrox were 4-4 and 3-2. No shortage of goals! This really does give an idea of what it's like to be at an Old Firm game from a fan's perspective.

@MrStruth great video, the players didn't fuck about it back then.

you can even tell the difference of the atmosphere compared to the " in the crowd" mobile phone videos you get after almost every single game these days

mind you, it must have taking some doing smuggling an 80s camcorder into the ground, you could break your back carrying one of those things about.
