Not really an iconic goal but I always loved it due to the quick thinking of my favourite player at the time.
Ball goes out of play on the main stand side. My favourite player at the time takes the throw in super fucking quickly down the line. Wee so and so plays it in to the box where what's his name slides in putting the ball in the net to make it 4-0. Sure it was 1989 if that helps.
The ball is played into the penalty area and a first time cross comes in from the right hand side, the attacker gets the run on the fullback and headers the ball against the crossbar. The goalkeeper in his white shirt is routed to the spot. As the ball hits the bar the away support stand to a man with their hands on their head, back on the pitch the ball rebounds to a bleach blonde haired midfielder donning the number 8 on his back.
He instantly controls the ball and carries the ball forward, he lays a pass to a teammate on the halfway line who first time, spreads the ball wide infront of the Govan stand, the best player in the country takes the ball under control 4 yards inside the attacking half. 3 touches later the ball is played to an overlapping german who first time he uses his trustly left foot to place the ball into the path of the unmistakable bleach blonde geordie who dives and stoops to header the ball past a despairing goalkeeper.
He wheels away to the Main stand fists clenched and screaming at the top of his lungs "we are going out".
Novo?23 seconds after coming on as a substitute , receives a short throw-in , swivels and volleys it into the top corner to win the cup.
A lot of effort put into this one so I can’t ignore it. From the description is is a defender and from the 90s onwards. Is it Bougherra v Dundee Utd?He found himself centre of the pitch in his own half with a tackle he knew he had to make, and it came off, as he came out of the challenge with the ball at his feet. He moved forward, crossing the half way line, moving into, for him, what felt like unknown territory. With options to the left and to the right, thoughts of uncertainty crept into his head. What if his pass was poor, weak, too strong? He'd just keep going. Someone tried to tackle him from behind but he rode it well and steered slightly right, still in control of the ball. Positive thoughts now began streaming into his mind as he continued to dribble the ball forwards - "This could be my Davie Cooper moment". He entered the box, glancing up for the first time to see the advancing goalkeeper, and took that 'now or never' decision. Steering the ball to the 'keepers right he watched as the ball went under the hapless custodian and continued towards goal. As he peeled away, for the first time he realised just what a special thing he'd done, and in the years to come, many would be dreaming of it, talking about it, and perhaps even typing about it.

It was at Hampden. Mo was involved but didn't take throw in or score.Super Mo at Hampden?
Or did he take the throw?

Maybe my description is shite.
The most glaiket looking player ever gives away a penalty in front of his own fans (probably given it away already). Player converts a right footed penalty low to the keeper’s left and kisses the badge in celebration.
22mins to go

young striker on as a shock sub positions himself and loops a header over the keeper into the top corner
Ball falls at the corner of the area, one player beats another to it by a fraction of a second and he proceeds to swing his boot wildly. The ball loops high into the air and takes a miraculous swerve and bounce taking it looping over the helpless goalkeeper. To this day physicists around the world still struggle to explain the movement of the ball.
Outswinging corner in the last minute, one shot at goal which is saved, player should have scored the rebound but fluffed it, tapped in by another, crowd and players go wild.

No.Did the ball hit both posts?
McCoist at the Piggery, 90/91. You left out my favourite bit when Super dummied about three times and Bonner was on his arse, then trying to get up, then back down.Tough-tackling curly haired midfielder goes in for a 50-50 tackle in his own half with a deformed looking opponent and wins the ball (although it is questionable whether it was a foul or not). He then travels to the halfway line and slips a pass behind the opponents defence. A long haired striker then latched onto the ball, glided past the Irish goalkeeper and slips the ball into the empty net. The long haired striker then went on a famous robotic walk after scoring the goal.
Almost word for word that was screamed by my mate (Boldy on FF) and I inside the groundPass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Fucking pass. PASS IT........ shoot. Shoot. Shoot. SHOOT. YASSSSSSS!!!
I’m thinking of Albertz v St.Pats.Whittaker
0-0 and it's a corner to Rangers. Taken left-footed by the winger and its met by a booming header from the centre half who was born in Singapore. The crowd of 20,000 including perhaps the biggest travelling Rangers support at this venue goes wild

Crossed in from the right, laid back to about 12 yards out, crashed under the defender (a world Cup winner) into the back of the net

Tackle on the edge of box, ball breaks out and is struck from 35 yds. it's still going up when it hits the back of the net.

Defending a corner, ball is headed clear by our left back to the top scorer from the previous World Cup who breaks up the right flank.
He looks up and sees our midfield dynamo screaming for the ball while breaking the land speed record up the centre of the pitch.
Plays him a perfectly weighted pass, midfielder rounds the goalie, strokes the ball into the empty net and sprints towards us in the corner screaming his heart out.
I'll never forget the emotion on his face.
One of my favourite ever moments watching Rangers
