That was the one that came to my head straight away, they took it bad and threw a bottle at our bus coming through Stepps before the M8 was built.
That’s so weird you mentioning that.........our windows were done there too, and I kept thinking it was the same night, but I remember now that it was the next round, when we were put out by cologne, shit finish to a disappointing night!!!!That was the one that came to my head straight away, they took it bad and threw a bottle at our bus coming through Stepps before the M8 was built.
Was going to post this, I remember the scenes at Pittiodrie when the news filtered through, always remember watching the highlights on Scotsport a half empty piggery, a ginger guy called Sammy something scored with a diving header iircActually it does. Our draw with the Sheep and them losing to Falkirk in 1987 for us to win the league.
That's the game that comes to mind, I remember watching Dixie balloon the ball over the bar in the old Jester on PRW after our game ( bit of a lock in )Great wins for us, with the added bonus of a suffering defeat for them on the same day/night.
The obvious one for me , April 19th 1972
Celtic had clinched their 7th successive League Title four days earlier.
European Semi Final night, and both Glasgow teams are in the two big cups, at home, second leg.
Both teams had recorded impressive results away in the first leg, Celtic held Inter Milan to a scoreless draw, and Rangers had come back from Germany with a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich.
It had been a shite season for us.
They hammered us 3 times in 4 weeks at the start of the season, all at Ibrox.
In early October, we sat joint bottom of the 18 team League with East Fife on 2 points!
Our domestic highlight of the season was Partick Thistle beating them 4-1 in the League Cup Final.
Over the course of the season, we had improved somewhat.
In Europe we had eliminated Sporting Lisbon, and Torino, to get to the ECWC Semi Final.
Domestically we were in the Semi Final of the Scottish Cup, albeit via three replays.
We sat in 3rd place in the League, a whopping 15 points adrift of Celtic, which is as far away from them as we had ever been.
Anyway, back to April 19th.
Rangers defeat Bayern Munich 2-0, in one of the greatest nights ever at Ibrox .
It does not get sweeter than that, into the European Cup Winners Cup Final, Barcelona here we come.
Walking back from Ibrox that night was just glorious, and as I reached the hielanman's umbrella in Argyle St, a small crowd had gathered around the outside of a Der TV rental shop, watching the end of the Celtic game, which remained 0-0 after Extra Time, and was now going to penalty kicks.
Apollo Dixie made a sweet night even sweeter.
Oh yes 0-0 HT 4-0 full time brilliant, remember so much about that day/nightMuch lower profile but that day you refer to when Thistle beat them 4,1, didn’t we beat Motherwell 5/6-0 after a goalless first half ?
When the half time result came through from Hampden the stadium erupted.

Oh how we laughed.
Just noticed a very brief glimpse of Gary Glitter at the end of the clip.
PSG UEFA cup 2001 was great. They lost on penalties to Valencia
Had to pull my pal down off the bar counter in the Elizabethan on Halbeath Road that nightYeah they lost a last minute goal to lose 3-2 at home to the sheep. The stadium announcer at east end park kindly updated us all with the score. Some bounce when he did
Aye thats him!Sammy McGivern ?
The old one's are always the best!!!!!!After reading the OP, anyone else also feel like a chorus of Dixie Deans Superstar?
I remember we stopped to get chips somewhere on the way back and Scotsport was just showing the highlights on the tv behind the counter,place (plaice) was going mental and the wee tally was beeling.Great wins for us, with the added bonus of a suffering defeat for them on the same day/night.

That Forfar game was a nightmare,as you say a late equaliser saved us,then wee calimero saved the day, making a few goals in extra time,think it finished 4 or 5-1.1978 - We beat Forfar at Hampden after trailing until the 83rd minute, while down at Rugby Pk Kilmarnock were dumping them out of the Scottish Cup.
We faced Killie in the next round at Ibrox winning 4-1.
Actually it does. Our draw with the Sheep and them losing to Falkirk in 1987 for us to win the league.
Them losing at home (Falkirk?) while we get a draw at Pittodrie to win the league
The night Rangers beat a great Juventus team at Ibrox in 1978 to knock them out the European Cup, Celtic were losing in the Anglo Scottish Cup to Burnley.

We had won the league in-between then mate in 2002/2003Remember a night at Dunfermline where Boumsong scored a winner and they dropped points and the place was bouncing. Pretty sure we went top and it was the first time since Advocaat..might be wrong though
Jock Stein stated that DJ was the difference between the sides that night and that but for him Celtic would've taken full points.April 10th 1976.
Rangers 3-0 Dundee
Dundee Utd 3-2 Celtic
Celtic had been top of the League since the end of November, barring one week in January, when we went top on Goal difference (by 1 goal), though that changed quickly when they beat Dundee Utd 2-1 at home, and we were held to a 1-1 draw away at Dundee at the end of January.
This put them on top again with a one point advantage.
Despite us taking 23 out of 24 points since the turn of the year, we still could not get above them until that day in April, when we went Top with a 1 point advantage.
Thereafter with only six league games to play, their season collapsed, as they recorded only one win in their last 7 games.
We actually clinched the Title just two weeks later on April 24th at Tannadice with a Derek Johnstone goal after only 22 seconds, as Celtic lost 1-2 at home to Ayr Utd.
Two nights later we went to Parkhead as Champions, and Derek Johnstone who was the best Centre Forward in Scotland, and favourite to pick up the Player of the Year award, showed why he was also considered one of the best Centre Backs in the country too, as he moved back to central defence in place of the injured Tom Forsyth and Colin Jackson, and gave a masterclass at the back.
The following Saturday, the big man was back up front, and would score again in the first minute (42 seconds), against Hearts in the Scottish Cup Final, as Rangers completed the Treble.
The thing is, that in many ways was like Berwick. Killie were a lower division team, knocking the previous season's SC winners out of the SC. More than that, that night at Killie was a replay so, they had 180 minutes to beat lower division opponents. Anything can happen in 90 minutes, but having two bites at the cherry? And I'm pretty sure Colin Stein played for KIllie.
Incidentally, if the filth had won that night, we'd have been due to play them three weeks on the trot.
11/3 - SC tie
18/3 - LC final
25/3 - League match at the cesspit.
I see Dixie also invented the Suvull calculator.
90,000 fans. Wrong Dixie.
Not a win but I'm sure we drew away to psv in the Europa the same night they got cuffed 4-0 by St mirren. Watched it in Nico's and couldn't control myaelf.
April 2 2005 we beat Motherwell away , the tims got beaten by hearts at the cesspit ,,, and for your bonus ball , the pope died , on the same day . If carlsberg did weekends .! All this on the run in to what we know call helicopter SundayGreat wins for us, with the added bonus of a suffering defeat for them on the same day/night.

Nope, lost a cup replay at Tannadice to a last minute goal. I had just started a new job in Dundee that day and was there. I didn’t even know Celtic we’re playing and was confused as to why a St Mirren supporting friend was texting me every time a goal went in!Did we get a decent win the night St Mirren fucked Mowbray's team?
Celtic drew at Aberdeen that day.Don't know if my memory is playing tricks but did we not win the league at Ibrox against Hearts and the mentally challengeds lost at Falkirk. Think Mel Sterland scored two, i'm sure Kevin Drinkell scored as well.
24th January 1976, Scottish Cup 3rd Rd:
Rangers 3-0 East Fife
Motherwell 3-2 Celtic (and the scum had been 2-0 up ). The Treble was on!
Remember a night at Dunfermline where Boumsong scored a winner and they dropped points and the place was bouncing. Pretty sure we went top and it was the first time since Advocaat..might be wrong though
And what a goal at was.
Was at my in laws house. Think the entire estate must've heard the roar from their's when Austin McCann thundered the ball into the top corner.
Saturday 7/12/96
We were at home to Hibs, 1-2 down at HT, 4-3 at full time.
Tims were at Motherwell. All square at 1-1 about 20 mins left, Well gk injured so midfielder goes into the nets.
Last min goal, Well 2-1 Celtic. Get in!
Helicopter Sunday for me.
It had everything ; two late goals for Motherwell to cast that rabble in to despair and us to a title win that I really doubted we'd achieve.
In 1996? I think he'd only just about left schoolBig Jig with the winner IIRC
Ffs haha, so my memory isn’t amazingWe won the Treble in 2003 mate ffs
Cheers bud, thought it was Falkirk for some reason.Celtic drew at Aberdeen that day.
