Rangers 2 v 1 Celtic - League Cup Final 1986

Rangers won the league cup with a 2-1 victory against Celtic at Hampden Park.
Ian Durrant opened the scoring early in the second half but Brian McClair equalised before Davie Cooper scored a late penalty to win the cup.
In a dramatic final five minutes, Mo Johnston was red carded for a head butt on Stuart Munro while Tony Shepherd was also sent off but the decision was changed after clarification that it was a Celtic fan in the main stand that hit the referee.

My first old firm game.I'm an Aussie who was living in Belfast from 86 to 92. I'll never forget those times.Go the Gers.❤

[@robinmcewen3286]

When you watch all the OF matches from the 80s the thing that grabs you most is the skill level they have at the pace of the game. Cooper, Burns, McStay, Durrant, Ferguson, Grant - all of them at their peak could have played in England. No bother. These matches from about 1983-89 were dynamite. The 4-4 match at Ibrox was the greatest match I ever saw. And the only time both sets of fans were applauding both teams at the end. Was astonishing.

[@colshythecomedian]

Chris Woods what a hero!

[@Div4Dante]

Davie Cooper what a class act⚽️👍🏼👍🏼💙

[@user-ph5ti9hx9m]

The King of kings❤❤❤

[@colshythecomedian]

I have always thought that Davie Cooper should have a statue outside Ibrox of him being hoisted aloft by his teammates after scoring that winning penalty. I can't understand why the great man hasn't got a full statue there yet!

[@urbankhat65]

Mo Johnston,Rangers legend,they'll never forgive him.

[@johncampbell5056]

Still find it hard to forgive him, broke my heart, remember where I was when I heard he signed for the dark side😉 he was second only to Mcstay in my head, loved him, how could he, baffling, it's so wrong, its like mcoist playing for us, no thanks, don't you dare pull on our beloved hoops ally!!! Just wouldn't want him, we'd boycott paradise until he got himsel tae f×××, it's just no right, can't think of a bigger no no, ruined his life, now BOTH sides hate him!!!🤔😉, I was 15 when he he did the unthinkable, it hurt me and changed something inside my gut, took years to realise that he has obviously got mental problems and issues he hadn't resolved since childhood, hope he's a decent person now and he understands that loyalty and honesty are two VERY important if not THE most important things in life, rangers are awful but all the best anyway,😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As a celt I've got to say it was a fucking shame Durant went through that, the lad was class

[@HUGGY-tr4zd]

Pretty much destroyed the boys career, Although am sure a few Kilmarnock fans would disagree . Still was a great player after getting injured

There is not a player in the current squads who would have got on that pitch that day. I was there btw my wee pal got in wearing a pie sellers bib one of the 219 who got in without a ticket.

Gave them another defeat in the toon after it as well. Going by the high flats at the gorbals getting all sorts throw oot the windaes at us. Cooper n wee durranty were brilliant that day

[@alanshaw8231]

see all the horror tackles on Cooper, scum of the earth taught a lesson when we won 2-1 WATP

[@cutekanjii]

The games were much more end to end fast and exciting in those days, I like how there's much more dribbling and running. Today its all pass pass pass jogging pace or even standing still boring. I don't think they teach or encourage dribbling in training these days especially any rangers training videos with Gerrard obsession with passing in little circles. The aim of the game is to score goals not pass it around in your own half for half an hour. Even the standard in commentary is awful today compared to those days. You know its true when it's not just older people but people who weren't even born at the time saying it was better then.

[@tonynesbit9673]

Spot on mate todays footie is shite/boring.

[@goodwin9114]

My dad had this on video and we watched this game load. I always wonder what souness and hay were dying to each other on the way out of the tunnel. Neither of them looks best impressed.

Joined the dark side and set in motion the liquidation which would later catch up with them.

[@sansoucci5394]

How many times in the Old Ibrox when they gave the "official" attendance did people laugh! 30.000 in the old Ibrox and the the place was empty!Rangers especially could take 15-20000 off the gate,the old ground was that big And where did that money go???.Hampden was a bit bigger though so god knows what jiggery pokery went on there.

[@kradomc]

Scottish football was great back then, now it's pointless shit!

[@Romamb]

Not our fault. It's the fault of FIFA/UEFA. They have allowed completion to take 2nd place to finance. Just not sport anymore

[@truebluebears76]

When fitba was fitba

[@donaldcunningham2386]

Totally agree..Cannae believe the stamina of all the players, blues or greens. They never bludy stopped running from start to finish, and what a double-swerve at high speed from Cooper. High- octane stuff. Today it's overpriced, overpaid "players" passing, jogging about, and spitting everywhere.

[@Romamb]

The days of competence balance. When football was actually sport and not business. Today's game isn't worth watching at any level in many countries. I've given up hope of it ever being good again in my lifetime

Excellent game. Celtic unlucky to hit the post twice and i thought the penalty awarded to Rangers was never a penalty. You wouldn't even get a penalty for that in todays softer VAR game.
