I remember taping the game and watching it later. Ian St John was co commentator and he let out a big cheer when Willie Falconer made it 3-2 to the sheep.

Noticed this when I watched it a few nights ago, Sounded like that tramp jock brown.Sitting watching old finals came across this. The commentators are actually cheering when they sheep shagging bastards scored their 2nd and 3rd goals.
I know we say today's commentary is bad but at least they hide their delight at teams scoring by not cheering.
I'm suprised to hear that, as St John was my late Grandpa's apprentice at Ravenscraig for a year and was a Bluenose as a lad.
A few memories of that Cup final.
Ian Durrant was the most dynamic exciting young midfielder in Britain at that time. Magnificent that day.
His goal gets overshadowed by the Cooper free kick but it was a thing of beauty and arguably every bit as special.
The Trevor Francis penalty is the one most remember with the 2 step run up, but Davie Cooper took the best penalty shoot out spot kick I have ever seen.

Jock brown is nothing but a wanker. Makes all sorts of excuses when someone boots a Rangers player. When the shoe is on the other foot it's a terrible challenge
Loved reminding myself of that amazing day.
As you say DH Ian Durrant was just sensational that day & this clip shows just how special he was. Pace, aggression, energy, splitting defences at will, and also making great runs behind them, as you refer to for his goal.
What a tragedy that injury was because he was going to the very top of world football in my opinion.
Wouldve been on of Scotland’s greatest ever players.
Agree Winkie. He had a dimension to his play that very few in my lifetime had.
He had the lot. Aggression, vision, turn of pace, eye for a goal.
Coop had a grudge against those Hampden nets that day! Kept trying to burst them. Leighton did well to get out of the way of that free kick. Durrant’s goal was sublime and his penalty (he was still a few days short of his 21st birthday, ffs!) was coolness personified.
Edit - and I always disliked Ian st John. He was shipped up to Glasgow for big games but had zero knowledge of the game in Scotland. Twat.
Flecks equaliser with 5 mins of normal time to go . Graham Roberts goes up to win the header and Willie Miller just bounces off him !
Yeah Walker is bad for it too but you half expect it from that mentally challenged cùntAndy Walker is bad for this. Nothing in that
2 questions
1- why was Souness not playing
2- is Fleck offside for the equaliser
some size of Rangers support there that day
My first cup final too. Absolutely magic game, A phenomenal goal from my hero and Rangers lift the cup. At that point, it was the best day of my young life. 33 years later...probably still one of themMy first cup final. Never tire of watching Cooper's free kick.
Better than NachosA few memories of that Cup final.

I think we were all bricking it when Trevor Francis stepped back to take it.A few memories of that Cup final.

I certainly was at the time.I think we were all bricking it when Trevor Francis stepped back to take it.
Was really just a cracking time in general. All the big name signings, Souness falling out with everyone, our own players included and winning cups and leagues. What a group of young talented players we had.Cracking match. Some great cup finals against Aberdeen around that time.
And still won a cap at Killie iirc.Wouldve been on of Scotland’s greatest ever players.
Twice.I think we were all bricking it when Trevor Francis stepped back to take it.
