2005 - A Stevie Thompson consolation versus Celtic Was it the goal where it broke to him at a corner and he lashed it in, few minutes to go?

2008 - I was there but recall nothing about the match at all.

2011 - Watched this in the Bowmore Hotel on Islay. Was a brilliant atmosphere.

2014 - A sad day.

2012 - one of the most scandalous refereeing decisions I’ve seen in an Old Firm. He almost cost us the league. Our good friend Thompson is the referee on Sunday I see...

They had a better shout for a pen after that one, He'd have been lynched though if he'd awarded them another after that joke of a decision right enough, I think our players were too stunned to argue the point after Stokes ran into Davis.

I'm sure there had been a poster on FF in the lead up to this game predicting a draw at Ibrox and the bheasts then losing to ICT, a classic evening on FF that night when ICT won 3 - 2

Was it not some guy who went to a fortune teller or had a dream where we get a 0-0 draw against them and then we'd win the league?

All the best mate, enjoy your day.

1991 Our first home game under the management of Walter Smith. Midweek, live on Sky, and a very nervy game in the title run in against Aberdeen that ended up going to that famous last day.
