Rangers 1-0 Celtic - Scottish Cup QF, 6th March 1920. At the time this crowd of 85,000 was a record attendance:
The record lasted till the final. Albion Rovers, who beat Rangers in the semi after two replays and Kilmarnock pulled in 97,000. Hard to believe isn't it?
I think it being the first SC tournament after the Great War, had a lot to do with it. The punters obviously were starved of their fitba.
Fantastic picture! What a moment that was. Absolutely glorious!Rangers 1-0 Celtic - League Cup Final, 24th October 1970. The final whistle sounds and Jock Wallace and Stan Anderson can barely disguise their joy as Rangers end 4 1/2 years of trophy drought. Bawheid's face at the left is priceless

Rangers 2-1 Dundee United, 4th April 1981. The photo is interesting as it's a rare image showing the still under construction Govan Stand, now Sandy Jardine Stand, taking shape in the background:
Was it called the South Stand? I always thought it was the New North Stand. I remember a mate from school always referred to it as that rather than The Govan, for some reason.It was called the South Stand originally, I remember being in it the day it was first used v Celtic. Sadly we lost 2-0.
Never heard it referred to in terms of North or South. It was always the Govan back in the early 80’s to us.Was it called the South Stand? I always thought it was the New North Stand. I remember a mate from school always referred to it as that rather than The Govan, for some reason.

Don’t see how it could be the South Stand given its position - its the north end of the stadium.
Coz yer an eejit???I'm an eejit.
It was called the North Stand, not south!
That's what it was called on the ticket for the Celtic game the day it was first used.
Why I thought it was South I have no idea.

Was in there before the structure for the stand was up . Long way of saying i was one of the mob that broke through the fence at the Copeland rd end of the now Sandy Jardine stand when we played Aberdeen . Foundation trenches about 12 feet deep . Getting chased from the Copeland to the Broomloan by the cops while the game was being played . Quickest game i've ever seenRangers 2-1 Dundee United, 4th April 1981.
