Classic Match! Rangers 3-3 Celtic (19/11/1995)

This classic mach comes from November 1995, with Rangers and Celtic playing out a dramatic 3-3 draw at Ibrox. The Hoops took the lead with a thunderous shot from German international Andreas Thom, but the home side equalised through Brian Laudrup. A second-half penalty from John Collins regained Celtic's advantage, but the Gers responded terrifically with an Ally McCoist header and an own goal from Gordon Marshall. The drama wasn't over though, as Pierre van Hooijdonk replied almost immediately with a header to tie the scores.

They didn't show the wonder save Goram made from Pierre Van Hoijdonk's 6 yard volley in this game. 🤔

[@morethanjustforkicks]

Regardless of which side you follow, these were great games to watch. The calibre of the players was far superior to what's on display these days. I miss these games, they were so close.

[@AsgaardNorse]

Here are some Old Firm 6 goals classic much interesting 1998: Celtic 5-1 rangers 2016: Celtic 5-1 rangers 2017: rangers 1-5 Celtic

[@yermawsdinner1380]

Yer club murdered 66 of yer own

[@GreigStott]

One of the greatest saves I have ever seen from a goalkeeper, Andy Goram from Van Hooijdonk and you never showed it.

[@avfc85]

Look at the players in these teams. Two teams who used to be real european giants. Sooner those days come back the better imo

[@earthstars9195]

Celtic yes, Rangers never..

[@allanj1872]

Really lol? Who's played in more European Finals?

[@allanj1872]

+Earth Stars rangers & celtic. now don't you look stupid

Who's won the European Cup? :D

[@Polygonal_Sprite]

One of the best Old Firm games of all time. Certainly the best draw :P

[@craiganderson275]

4 each draw in the 80s is up there. As is the 3 each draw in 2002.

[@CliveWarren-tu6wt]

The goal nets were just fantastic

[@AlanJOHNSTONE-u1w]

Was thinking that too. The way they stretch and sway when the ball went in. Probably football nets

[@isitjustme43-59]

This is why I would rather watch the Old Firm than El Classico. Amazing atmosphere, love Van Hooijdonk goal celebration. Old firm is underrated big time.

[@lordsummerisle3139]

Not anymore. They've banned away supporters and it has ruined it. The Old firm derby is now over-rated if anything

[@dowdallerno1]

Two good teams at this time.

[@Daviebhoy25cfc]

Tosh McKinlay, what a baw for Pierre.

[@UnderAGlassMetropolis]

I loved that Rangers strip.

[@seangowdy408]

Both teams had amazing players.

Great game this was. Loved itv's commentary of this game. :)

[@daveclark3337]

It’s sad the way football has gone that a small number of leagues and teams have the lions share of the money so the quality is localised in limited areas. I’d love Celtic and Rangers to be back up there having the quality to be contenders to win in the champions league again

[@lordsummerisle3139]

It's sad the way football has gone so that a couple of teams have the lions share of money, and exposure, to the detriment of everyone else in Scotland. I'd love to see the rest of Scottish football getting a fair crack of the whip and making it a more competitive league, like it was 40 years ago

[@branimirjankovic3092]

Great names in this game ....

[@Corbytown75]

i was at this game, stayed in Greenock and on the Saturday was at Cappielow for Morton 0 Meadowbank Thistle 3 i think my 1st Morton match with my dad. Cant believe i lost both programmes! gutted!

[@Thoooomas]

Yuck morton C'mon the saints

[@kennyp9616]

This and the 4-4 game are forever epics 👋

[@ianclark6485]

Goram and marshall there is just no comparison, if celtic had a decent keeper in the 90s it would have been a different story

[@krismiller8737]

The days when you never got booked for merely celebrating a goal with fans that rule is bad for football..

[@thchification8955]

oh those times how i miss it alot

[@L555HEP]

McNee sounded devastated when Super Ally equalised.

[@DrewHLMW]

can we please get as many old firm games as you have. 5-1 from november 98, 3-2 april 2008, 4-4 draw from the 80s, 3-0 celtics first victory at ibrox for 6 years in 2001, celtics 4-2 comeback win at ibrox in the 80s, the 1998 new year match celtic win 2-0, the 2011 new year match when samaras scored a double. everything from martin oneil's whitewash season in 2003/04. think there was a 2-2 draw at ibrox in the 80s with 4 red cards, the so called shame game from 2010/11 where mark wilson scores the winner, the 2-2 draw at ibrox that set up that replay. celtics two 3-0 victories at celtic park under neil lennon. pretty sure we won 3-0 during the hampden season as well. the 1980 and 89 scottish cup finals. some stuff from the 70s would be cool stop holding out on us and get them all uploaded and i'm sure the rangers fans can think of the ones they wanna see

[@johnfoley9031]

Classic game. It was part of 'gers 3 in a row years.

[@kieran9675]

Andy Thom what a goal

[@Reeceypoopoo]

Gascoigne, laudrup, mccoist would've been deadly

[@reniisgod]

Can't believe THAT save from Goram isn't here

[@lordsummerisle3139]

What's this? A pen awarded against Rangers? At ibrox??

[@ronjoe1]

All good goals, but nothing beats that screamer from Them.

[@emperorreign6154]

If Celtic had a half decent keeper, they'd have easily won the league that season. Considering they only lost one game in the league that year, it was an utter travesty that they didn't. Far more deserving than the tax evaders across the city.

[@mikebradley5205]

if celtic had this and that u forget u were minutes away from folding completely in 93

[@UnderAGlassMetropolis]

Talk pish, they had Thom, Collins and Van Hooijdonk. Rangers were just different gravy in the 90s.

[@dermymoto]

@mike Bradley yes but the fans came together and saved the club and built a bigger and better stadium than yours....the old rangers cheated and went into liquidation and you lot just stood back and let it happen. Terrible supporters

[@glasgowdmon]

When it goes like a bomb and it;s not Andy Thom....

[@annemarieducie6516]

Old firm...world class !

[@nickmcc123]

Why did u not show andy gorams amazing save that game from van hoydonk

[@earthstars9195]

because he is an asshole

[@justfieldhockey3109]

+Earth Stars I disagree. Van Hooijdonk was ok.

[@suffern63]

+Barry Fisher pick that out of the onion bag

[@lf67hh28]

Gorams a horrible person, should be edited out of everything and cast off to the depths of society. Oh wait, he has been now. 😀

[@cutekanjii]

Never showed David Robertsons goal that was chopped off for offside but clearly ONSIDE. If they had VAR it would be obviously a goal so Rangers really should have won that game 4-3. Feels like there's not an old firm game without a penalty especially for celtic at ibrox.

[@jamesbaxter5001]

Was just about too say!! How convenient the SPL edit out the worst offside decision I’ve EVER seen, he ran past two celtic defenders to get on the end of Laudrups pass, one of the worst ever, up there with the free kick against alan hutton in a Scotland v Italy at hampden unbelievable

[@alanlappin6674]

Hilarious to watch and imagine as a Celtic fan saying this proves the teams were very close - ignoring the fact Rangers won pretty much everything.
