My first ever Old Firm Cup Final, just before my 10th birthday and I can remember everything about the day like it was yesterday.
Had been to the piggery for the 1st time a few weeks earlier, but this was special.
Won't be missing this tonight.

They showed the full game last week when it was the Dundee United v Motherwell final, cracking game too.
I'd imagine it'll be the same tonight mate.

Best mate. Can remember my dad running down the front and basically leaving me at the winner!
Would imagine so mate be under sportscene.
Had a shout for a penalty right before the winner I’m sure also
Yes you're right mate, they got away with one there.

probably the game I've enjoyed most at hampden, great weather, behind twice, leaving them absolutely spewing at the end tremendous
Was Mjaliby wasn’t it? Usual Oneil team leading with elbows

Remember my old man saying to me with a couple of minutes to go, "Don't worry son, we're finishing the stronger team and we'll win this in extra time."
Next minute, BOOM.
A perfect day.
Weather, company, the game, out after
Got home the next day around lunch time

Superb man to think how young we were!Remember my old man saying to me with a couple of minutes to go, "Don't worry son, we're finishing the stronger team and we'll win this in extra time."

Can’t wait. This is one to treasure. Don’t know if there’s ever been a more dramatic cup final. Surely every neutral will enjoy it too.

We've still to peak mate.
My old man hasn't missed a Rangers final since 1970 and the 2002 sits as his second favourite, behind 1973 Centenary Cup Final.
It'll take something special to ever eclipse 2002 for me S.

Yes, I think you're right.
That was O'Neill's way, he flooded that team with tall players and played for set pieces and they were all primed to go down like a ton of bricks anywhere near the box. They also got away with flying elbows constantly.

Our bus left from Clarkston Bowling Club then and I remember the Dundee Loyal bus and an Ulster one in the club from about 10am that day.
We'd a decker too and there must've been about 250 in the club.
Me and a couple of the other younger lads sitting outside beside the bowling green getting a constant supply of Pepsi and crisps to keep us amused for 4 hours while the swallying was going on.

Ok mate we get you know him personally. Really no need to put his initial at the end of every post.
Anyway I’m buzzing for this!

Your just a wean mearns. I thought you were older, must have been the work you were doing at the GE. Not having a dig, just got the wrong impression. Must admit I was wondering a bit about the, let's get down to the grapes for a beano on that sunday, when the older bears were in lockdown mode already.
Very much looking forward to this tonight. How there wasn't a high casualty list of broken bones after that goal I'll never understand. People falling and flying over the seats everywhere.
I honestly don’t think anything will mate. My Auld man love 73 as well, he’s got a special soft spot for the sash in the jungle final for obvious reasonWe've still to peak mate.

Seem to remember Cannigia missing his World Cup swan song after an early assault by Sutton . Argentina took him but he was never fit enough to get on the pitch .

I was next the gangway in a block that stood throughout;and halfway up..
ended up down the front with no recollection of what exactly happened to me in the few seconds after the ball hit the net. Absolute bedlam.
