Copland nowadays wouldn't be in fine voice at three nil done I'm afraid
What was special for me that night ,being in the broomloan with my 4 kids was the amount of young bears who were seeing and feeling that special European atmosphere for the first time because we had been without for years
Was there that day in the govan
im sure it did, i got into the govan rear but my brother ended trackside and going to the copland, no idea how we got seperated.
Was Hearts. Albertz scored a deflected effort in the last minute
Totally agree.
Think that was the time you got into home league cup games and even the first European the of the season with your season ticket before the good Murray boy stripped all that away
It was amazing that night, very special.
Cracking game, the week b4 we won the league, I remember the Tim's had had a nervy 1-0 win v Hearts the day b4, so our 4-0 win really helped our goal difference.
they were superb that night their support
Just came on to post this. Pretty sure David Farrell put in a heavy tackle on Durrant which left us all silent for a few seconds until the wee man got up.
It was a cracker mate.
I was still stuck on the entrance to the Clyde tunnel when I heard on the radio the game had been abandoned.Abandoned Hearts game in 2015.
Anger at conditions and the journey of Scott of the Antarctic to get there and anger at the fat slug for the stadium sale and lease proposal provided a good start.
Which then turned to anger at Madden for abandoning the game.
What else was there to do at that point but go and try to get hold of the Spivs?
I hope they shat themselves that night as they realised what was happening outside.
Waddell Waddell get tae Fuvk
Started off that way for sure. Lee Wallace scored twice within eight minutes or something like that. 30-80 mins (roughly) died down a lot after St Mirren scored and we couldn't find the third until late on. I remember Steven Thompson putting a penalty over the bar at 2-1 in what was the worst technique I've ever seen from a professional footballer. He looked like he'd never kicked a ball before.
This was my first thought. Probably unexpected because normally a title run in would be nervous, crowd were full at it that day.
Game I was thinking of, was it a couple of weeks after the Hamilton SC game?
Friendly v Spurs think it was early 90s and Gazza and Fergie were having a right battle. Game was very niggly and fans got right up for it. EE went mental when winner went in.
If I'm right I'm sure Fergie actually spat at Gazza that day
Fortnight before the cup game if I remember right.
I agree this was mental , the noise was incredible.
Yes, there was qn element of expectation at that game that we could go top of the league and it was just after Accies had beat us in the cup. I think the performance of Waddell gave it the extra edge too, When he he sent our second player off ( Durrant? ) it inctease the atmosphere.
That was an unreal night. Best atmosphere of the whole campaign.
Boxing Day or the day after. Atmosphere was something else for a league game. The atmosphere v St Mirren in the league opener on a Friday night was surreal too. Pitch invader and everything!
I better go look this game up, I was sure it was before the cup game but that's 2 folk now said it was after.
How would that have been unexpected? The 1st ever champions league game at Ibrox
