Rangers 3 Celtic 0 1985 Ibrox stadium previously unseen footage

[@kingzippythethird]

Brilliant footage. How the game has changed nowadays... What an atmosphere...Forgot what it used to be like. Thanks heaps for sharing.

[@dannymcgovern40]

I loved the auld enclosure the atmosphere was amazing I was at this game

[@Sunburst75]

Brilliant footage and you can actually hear the real sound of the crowd instead of the tv versions with the volume turned down and people talking over it.

[@Isleofskye]

A REAL atmosphere, perfectly captured. BRILLIANT ! .....and I am NOT a Rangers fan !

[@derberliner6836]

Line-up that day: 1 - Nicky Walker 2 - Ally Dawson 3 - Stuart Munro 4 - Davie MacPherson 5 - Dave MacKinnon 6 - Dougy Bell 7 - Ally McCoist 9 - Bobby Williamson 10 - Ian Durrant 11 - Davie Cooper 12 - Bobby Russell 14 - Ted McMinn Attendance: 42,045

[@ErnstZundel45]

Der Berliner - was Derek Fergusoun not in the squad. I was at the game and I thought he played at some stage.

[@suffern63]

Singing what you want to,Scottish players on the pitch,players from both sides going in hard for 50-50 tackles and standing in the paddock,things now sadly gone from the game.

[@erniescullion8452]

Your 100% too many went out of their way be offended.

[@accountformelyknownasarsen3072]

Fucking great footage this. Incredible atmosphere and some proper tackles flying about, really captures what the Old Firm games were like back in the day. Cooper`s goal was sheer class, the first touch out of his feet and bang. Fucking get in.

[@samger02]

Thanks for the upload. That stirred a few memories for this bear. Fantastic.

[@colshythecomedian]

What a unique slip back into time, to experience the way football used to be supported and how much more passionate every one seemed. And so good to watch Coops dribbling around Celtic players again. Great video!

[@bobdylanger3022]

Colshy TheComedian makes me sad.. miss those old day's

[@stuart73m]

Brilliant upload mate, so how in the space of 31 years can players like this get on with the game even if there is hard but mostly fair challenges without the need to roll about or get stretchered off and just act like true men, now compared to most of today's players who will be down on the pitch at the slightest touch? Because of the amount of foreign players that have come into our game over the last while so its became acceptable, its a game for Fucking fairies now thats ruining it more each decade that passes by.

[@alasdairmachardy4775]

Fantastic share Mr Struth. Always wanted to see this one - missed it because I had to go to London, tried to listen on the train. Good memories...Jock Wallace's last hurrah I recall.

[@LeggieGlasgow]

Mr Struth i thank you for the memorie's excellent collection of all thing's Rangers.Regard's from a bluenose from the Dennistoun area

[@colshythecomedian]

Did you upload this via the 1984Wifi when you got home?This is so rare this footage. We are getting trip back to a time when the atmosphere was deafening! Now it's mostly tame at ibrox. At 07:40 we see when the whole of Ibrox was literally jumping and singing together. We can even see the east enclosure rippling with bears. Fantastic thanks for sharing this!

[@gordoncampbell100]

Absolutely brilliant soundtrack from the crowd .

[@symptomless]

I was at this game. I'm a Celtic fan and it was my first Celtic - Rangers game. I was 15. I'd travelled up from London on the train in the morning and don't remember much about the game apart from the noise. I do remember that I didn't know how to get to Ibrox so I got on the Underground with my scarf tucked down my trousers. That's an experience to tell my grandchildren.

[@bobmorrice]

@MrStruth great video, the players didn't fuck about it back then. you can even tell the difference of the atmosphere compared to the " in the crowd" mobile phone videos you get after almost every single game these days mind you, it must have taking some doing smuggling an 80s camcorder into the ground, you could break your back carrying one of those things about.

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

I am proud to say I was there that day, Marvellous Rangers, absolutely marvellous 😁💙

[@thomassmith1313]

I was in Govan Lower-Yellow section,row b set no 2.Thanks for posting.Got my match ticket in front of me.

[@raibeartmacghilleandrais3596]

I can remember this game. And looking at it again. We did take the tackling, and more physical game. For granted at the time. Ps. Remember the mhanky mob got the west inclosure as well. Great vid Mr Struth. A gem btw.

[@georgiebrownletsgo1137]

no bad for a camcorder fae those days

[@superally09]

Outstanding footage - wasn't even born when this game was played, but wish I was old enough to experience games like this Rangers v Celtc at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, no live tv (or in this case, any TV at all) stadium bouncing, no-one batting an eye-lid over what can and can't be sung or said a proper game of football and a Rangers win to boot :) what else could you want?

[@yippyialeftside8351]

i did not know there was a strike in Scotland aswell , i remember the 4 4 that season, great stuff love old football from a villa fan

[@munn2006]

This camera work is miles better than the BBC's current coverage. And I think I learned more from the commentary on this video than from all of ESPN's coverage this season. Great video!

[@ErnstZundel45]

Loved that game I was 14 years old, in the east enclosure going mental.

The enclosure was brilliant at Ibrox, obviously not when Celtic came coz they got half of it and the whole broomloan, it was a much better atmosphere back in the 80 and early 90s without a doubt...

[@xtstevie]

I was in the Copland Road Stand & remember not much about the actual game except the score ?? Awesome

[@tamrabam]

I was at this game, it was the day of my 21st birthday....Excellent video..thx

[@calumroney7352]

This ma fellow bluenoses is when fitba was fitba, plenty of passion on both sides, blistering tackles and played with a intensity that couldn't be matched today.this was a time when you really could go n shout n scream whatever you wanted and no one batted a eyelid, got offended, or gave a fuck.I was in the east enclosure that day n my best mate whos a tim was in the sellick end.On the monday at school he got his head nipped obviously which was a joy for me.This was a great game for the rangers.

[@blade0954]

great post,celtic fans are having a field day today with the administration,but the bears will never lie down,no surrender!!!

[@VentzCinema]

Ibrox had a belter of an atmosphere back then!

[@yippyialeftside8351]

is it worse now for a derby ?

[@bobbygillespie7687]

Believe it or not; the old 1950s60s Ibrox was better.

[@reniisgod]

This is amazing footage, i dont support Rangers or Celtic but the atmosphere sounds electric

[@graham2954]

don't often see video with celtic fans in the enclosure. did they used to get some of the main and govan stands too? Some right diddy's in both teams too.

[@kennyblack1349]

How I dream of ibrox being like this again. Some atmosphere in those days. The atmosphere the traditional songs created was so intense

[@GMNov]

I was 14 and in the East Enclosure that day, fantastic memory!

[@TheCurrent93]

I was at that game so this is just amazing to see again.....how the heck did he smuggle an 80's camcorder into the ground lol

[@thomasclark3115]

Love the old blood snd thunder tackles No one rolling about

[@labos7250]

Can even see Davie mcphersons mullet through an 80s camera. Even by 80s standards wtf was he thinking?

[@MrStruth]

@Upeter2 There was a TV strike, although Rangers were the better side its clear that both team got steamed in from the first whistle, were this game to be played today, there would have been at least a couple of red cards for each team. Oh for football to be a mans game again.

[@allanscot1]

I was at this game. That season was a nightmare but this was one of the highlights. I can actually remember being a bit disappointed with the score as it should have been more than 3! The next 2 games at Ibrox were 4-4 and 3-2. No shortage of goals! This really does give an idea of what it's like to be at an Old Firm game from a fan's perspective.

[@trueblue3719]

Remember it well what a performance. You couldn’t get the grass stains and mud out the strips after it. Won every 50/50 ball. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@ger50champ]

Mr Struth superb .Think this game was amazing and so was the other 2 OF games at Ibrox that season .4-4game and 3-2glasgow cup final where I do have radio commentary where Richard Park describes Allys third in his hat trick a thunderbolt .Its amazing .One of the proudest things I've done in my life is witness every OF game that Ally scored against Celtic including Glasgow cup final of 86 .Theres a question I want to put to any bears .Theres only one goal where theres NO footage recorded not c

[@mattbrown9533]

Sandy jardine s goal in the same game Davie cooper played keeoy uppy with the celik defence

[@billygray3875]

Was only 13 and this was ma first old firm game. We pounded em at day. Cooper n Bobby Russell were brilliant

[@jamesanderson8377]

I was at this game.one of the most one sided old firm games I've seen.

[@Sunburst75]

I think this was November 1985. The scorers are Durrant, Cooper and McMinn. The control by Davy the way he took that ball down and drilled it in was just magnificent.

[@alexdpmel3787]

9-11-1985 ,attendance:42.045

[@tatankha1]

Something struck me while watching this. Old firm games had some real hard tackling going on from both sides with none of this rolling around to get each other booked. I used to love watching dave mackinnon and peter grant go at it.

[@bluegeo649]

Was at this game- if it was played today would've ended up 8 a side the tackles are flying in. Went to Tynecastle the following Saturday a d we got gubbed 3-0

[@mazyrun09]

magic upload, well done mr struth !

[@LeggieGlasgow]

In those day's at parkhead Rangers fans were given seat's in the front and back of celtic's main stand yous'ed to be mental going for a piss or a pie every body around you were getting into each other battling like mad that was the good old day's.Rangers used to have the biggest away support in euro football then at parkhead they gave us 22.000 plus thousand's skipped in or doubled up with 1 breif or bribed the turnstile guy most were bluenoses.Parkhead my fav away ground i lived 5 min from it

Davie Cooper was one of the chosen few.

[@READYTEDDYBEAR]

Always a joy watching your videos MrStruth..... :-D

[@fyodor48alyosha67]

Was there 😀🇬🇧😀🇬🇧 trying to get tickets was grim . You would look about at the stadium for the dudes that stood with their hand in the air to let you knew. They had tickets for sale at a negotiated price 😳 Good times happy days when me and ma missus and I would go home and away games .even away games in the old cup format it was played in mini sections we were away at Stenhousemuire We were siting right on the touch line nearly at one point... GREAT MEMORIES, wish she wis still with me for this...... Anyone know when Andy Penman played his last game and where is he now??? Without doubt another amazing player for rangers, his dead ball kicks were, simply a joy to witness ........

[@deerhunter2218]

Brilliant mate, cheers for sharing

[@LeonMcCallie]

8:45imagine Morelos doin this, the good old days...

[@MrStruth]

Big Colin scored two that day, John MacDonald got the other. Johnny Hubbard was the last Rangers player to score a league hat trick v Celtic, 1955 season in a 4-1 win, Billy Simpson got the other.

[@LeggieGlasgow]

The season before did we beat Celtic 3-0 with the late Colin Mcadam scoring a hat-trick.Have a suitcase full of Rangers game's from the 70s and 80s when Aberdeen and Dundee utd were top dog's and were refered to as the new firm First game was against St johnstone in 1971 i was 6 year's old and spent the entire game watching the crowd rather than the match.My favourite Old firm game was the 1973 cup final win.My favourite game and it's hard to choose was the European cup game against juve in 78

[@montyf2165]

This great vid shows up what we have lost. Passionate, standing crowds with the action on the park matching that passion. Tough tackling, no rolling around, no crying to the ref, no flashing advertising hoardings, no fans holding their mobile phones. When will we learn to stop bending to the snowflakes who will only stop when they ban heading.

[@jackyjaxon6157]

Good work Struth !

[@MrStruth]

@Upeter2 Im sure the 4-4 game is uploaded somewhere on youtube, I do have it yes. the Glasgow cup final at Ibrox was a fantastic match, a Friday night, Ibrox was full and the atmosphere was superb, never ever seen any footage of that one sadly :(

[@allanwaltham4045]

The ref was excellent ...................as we were, of course. Great upload,

[@yippyialeftside8351]

when did Celtic stop having the side terrace section ?

[@oronsay]

That was brilliant.......

[@marziomasin2622]

Incredibly..people..rangers...fantastic....watp

[@mazy7438]

Joepac Crakur ...the flags at half-mast for the Celtic team , they died that day !

[@rolf69ful]

I as there and we were well beaten. We were near the front of the broomloan. It felt like this huge blue screaming monster was going to comedown and swallow us whole. One of the few times during my spell in Glasgow that you played us off the park.

If you want to understand the noise at an old firm game. Head phones in and up full. Your still not quiet there

The camcorder would have been big and bulky to carry with you, not one for the pocket.

[@perking77]

Nothing in the U.S. comes even close to this. Pure pandemonium

[@Zenon222]

Does anyone know if footage exists of the only other remaining untelevised old firm derby that season from New Year's Day 1986 or any other matches affected from the 1985-86 TV strike?

[@pau1hughes]

Rare stuff this was the same season as the 4-4 draw at ibrox , im pretty positive the 4-4 draw was the only highlights shown that whole miserable season .

[@andrewmcmaster6364]

Those were the days

[@TheCosmicFunker]

The days when Rangers finished fifth in the league?

[@stevenkeith5784]

These teams. It's love /hate. They need each other.

[@rickydicky100]

Lucky Mr Salmon wasn't in power then it would be a 2 week conference on that game, no doubt the U.N. would have been involved and the European Parliment That's when football was tremendous and the tackling from both sides was ferocious to say the least ,did anyone get sent off in this match ?

[@SuperReasonable]

Just how I re,member the Old Firm games. Blood and thunder with none of the weak refereeing and pathetic play acting from prima donnas. Love it and miss it...

[@nack-pc5xf]

[@JCAMERON1978]

That was brilliant :)

[@vincentmcnabb939]

Check out the ferocity of the tackling. Ibrox looked better and more intimidating with the old stand and terracing and without the corners filled in, in this Celtic fan's opinion.. Celtic fans only in the terracing that day, it would seem. Great win by Rangers against very strong Celtic team. Great footage, despite the result.

[@MrStruth]

The fact that fans could sing what they wanted and there was far less focus on the crowd and than today probably had much to do with it. I agree with your point on the tackling. Both teams getting steamed right into each other. Flying tackles all over the park yet very few cries for the Referee to get his cards out. The good old days 😁

[@vincentmcnabb939]

@@MrStruth Good old days, indeed. I think it also made a big difference that both teams were full of fans of either side. I enjoy watching your videos - even if obviously from a Rangers' perspective - sure brings back the memories. Yes, football could do with less focus on fans' chants and more lenience from the referees. I have no problem with the singing of the Billy Boys et al...it's part of the tradition and magic of the fixture...it's meant to be a bitter and fierce rivalry and not a love-in. There can still be mutual respect, often begrudging, between both teams and supporters as there most certainly was then.

[@MrStruth]

@rangersforme1 Yes thiswas never shown on tv, I was fortunate to have been loaned a copy of the match which a wise Bear manged to record by smuggling his camcorder into the ground !

1985 Bridgeton Billy boys sung from start to finish Fast forward 2024. Not 'allowed' to sing that ( because celtic supporters complained) - and we just shut up and followed 'orders' You couldn't make it up. Ibrox is like a morgue - compared to the 70s 80s 90s old firm atmosphere. Bring back the Bridgeton Billy boys. It's called freedom of speech
