In the previous league game at Ibrox, Ted McMinn ran amok as we took them to the cleaners, although a 1-0 win might not suggest so.
The flth's plan for the final was simple. To kick us up and down and all over the park. Seven bookings for the filth and a red, backs up my argument to the hilt. Johnston spat on Rangers left back, Stuart Munro, as he was red carded and walked towards the tunnel. He got away with that action as I recall.
The filth in the South enclosure threw coins at the referee, Syme, and in the confusion he thought it was a yahoo player, Tony Shepherd who had strruck him so he promptly sent him off too.
That was rescinded the following day when all was revealed.
Incidentally, the filth's tactic that day in 86 were a mirror image of the OF, LC final 21 years previous when Jock Stein said on the eve of the match that sellik had a plan they would execute the following day.
Two minutes into the game that plan came to fruition as sellik right back, Ian Young, crippled 18yo Rangers winger, Willie Johnston and back then there were no substitutes so Rangers were basically down to ten men for the following 88 minutes.
As for the guy you're talking to, it was ever thus. Q - How do you know when a 'shettleston' is lying? A - His lips move.
