Rangers 3 - Celtic 1 - January 1997

[@dhm1983]

Walter celebrating and running down the touchline. What a man and what a manager. Rip

[@davidhamilton1981]

One of my abiding memories of Walter Smith - celebrating that Bo Andersen goal. RIP.

[@justanotionX]

What a great atmoshpere that day. Goram hitting Di Canio twice (3:05) was hilarious.

[@BFD1989]

In my opinion the situation here is very much like the one now, where Walter Smith should not be allowed to leave Rangers. Tactical Genius and the very best manager in the SPL history.

[@The160879]

What a night that was. 2 weeks off work for Xmas and New Year and ripped arse out of it. Meant to be taking it easy that night after New Year but minute the game kicked off that was never going to happen. What a great memory!!!

[@kennyp9616]

Linesman... ..Man of the match

[@aptrm80]

was i tenerife for this match though good atmosphere in the pub(mix support) regret not being there. albertz was amazing when it mattered,celtic had good bunch of players, but gers had winning mentality(RIP TOMMY BURNS ,RIVAL LEGEND,GOD BLESS) WATP

[@ronaldtant6992]

The disallowed goal is probably the worst decision I have witnessed at a game since Brian Labone punted Colin Stein up in the air in the 1970 Scotland England for a penalty that wasn’t given . I was there at Ibrox that night and 25 years later still stunned at the goal being disallowed.Some years back Four Four Two magazine highlighted it as one of the worst decisions in an article about Celtic and Rangers .Even watching it back now it’s still a shocker .

[@Deadbolt75]

Davie robertsons disallowed goal in the 3-3 was a pretty poor decision

[@DavidSim1994WATP]

Amazing, that was shown on Sky Sports 1 with the 2 top commentators Tyler and Gray. Now its Sky Sports 4 with Ian Crocker and Andy Walker...

[@alanamatthews3285]

Beautiful

[@katethegreat59]

SUPERB STUFF!!

[@delmac85]

my fav old firm game!

[@Bamber7]

Andy Gray was going mental that night on the gantry.....Rangers were amazing.....this was the night they won 9 in a row! Magnificent, what a club, what a support.....the one and only RANGERS!

[@erniescullion8452]

These two teams COULD PLAY SOME LOVELY FOOTBALL. had more entertainment value than many so called big teams in England. I do know in my heart they wouldnt have finished in the TOP TEN IN MY OPINION.IT WOULDVE BEEN BETTER IF ALOT PEOPLE COULD LEAVE THE UNNECESSARY SECTARIAN CRAP OUT OF IF WHERE EVER THE HAT FITS WEAR IT. I LIKE A LOT OF PLAYERS FROM BOTH SIDES.

[@scottchawner2170]

Stop the shouting, Ernie. 😃

[@kployal5545]

The limbs when the 3rd went in. 9 in a Bo

[@Escalade50]

Chris405- nah I think YOU should take off your green tinted specs its the case of our player is better than yours infact all players mentioned Laudrup . Gascoigne were good players and as a rangers fan I have to say Larsson wasnt a bad player either both rangers and celtic have had great players over the years . God I so miss those old firm games

[@DaveyTheWombat]

Albertz was the fucking Don, always scored against the tims

[@mazy7438]

Albertz shot woulda taken Kerrs hand clean off 😂😂😂😂

[@MrMuzza27]

I fucking love Andy Goram

[@fraser_mr2009]

what a game. classic

[@bennymutant]

Another great day. Another Albertz classic. That spahgetti heed was miles off-side anyway.

Silver Shadow your club is defined it seems by the perverse glorification of sexual abuse. You love fact that such awful abuse took place at Celtic. It means so much to you.

[@aldorfc7287]

The hammer has torn celtic apart 👍💙💯 that rangers team would destroy today's celtic but the team we have now is decent and hopefully wee pick up the 3 points tomorrow at park head Fellow bears let's go!! 🔵⚪🔴🔵⚪🔴RFC

[@09weenic]

Looking at that game again, didn't the tarriers have some really horrible players then - McNamara,Stubbs,O'Donnell,Donnelly,Di Fanio and Queer Van Hooidonk !!!!

[@craigwilson5381]

09weenic Paulo di canio and van hooijdonk were exceptional players and I would have loved them both at Rangers.

[@Bamber7]

What a great night that was! The Gers looked to be struggling, with Ally and Goughie out with the flu....Gazza started, but wasn't fully fit. The Hammer's free kick was truly amazing, as Goram's ability to hit Di Canio twice with the ball, innocently of course, brought the house down. Walter going mad in front of the East enclosure after Erik's second goal was the highlight of the night. Cheer up Tommy Burns resounded round the lodge, magnificent.

[@oleggorky906]

32.3 yards at 78.7 mph! He hit that harder and faster than Stan used to hit Ulrika!

[@haqatak23]

Erik Bo Anderson ruled that weekend or what?

[@erniescullion8452]

It was a mid week match😂😂😂😂Yes that was great to see

[@Kyu1985]

the atmosphere at auld firm games were amazing in evening kick offs! fuck yer 12:15 kick offs! everyone still recovering from the night before!

[@kqh123]

Cadete was a mile onside!

[@jamesycottar]

How Mclaren never got a straight red is beyond me. Cadette disallowed goal was wild still can’t figure out why lol. Remember greeting ma wee face oot when they went up the park twice and scored. Erik Bo Anderson, the guy that Gazza pished on 😂. Some calibre of player on show

[@gordonmorton7551]

Handball, thought it was obvious?

[@jamesdonald5742]

“ Yet again . When Goram’s required , Goram’s there ! “

[@Sambaird09]

yahooooooo what a game this was .

[@irishroverX]

And on a wider note the amount of decisons against the other teams in scotland is far worse. Lord knows rangers and celtic would kick most teams arses in their sleep but the odd occasion when they are matched or even bettered they(rangers/celtic although mainly rangers) always seem to cross the line. Rangers and dundee utd of 08 being one of the best examples. Leveins interview afterwards was priceless but he really hit the nail on the head!

[@stephenmcwilliams5842]

That blind, hometown linesman cost Celtic the league that year. The four-point swing his inexplicable mistake caused halted Celtic's momentum and the gap at the end was five. I'm convinced a 2-2 draw there would have felt like a loss to rangers.

[@jamiecarlin-KING]

I watched that season Rangers were a better team than you! They had match winners. And Celtic had 1 good players and the rest average to poor!

[@stephenmcwilliams5842]

Read what I said: we were robbed of a 2-2 draw at Scumfield that changed the entire season. That was a good rangers team but Celtic should have won the league. The swing was 3 points, not 4, right enough.

[@jamiecarlin-KING]

@@stephenmcwilliams5842 You weren’t really robbed tho because decisions like that were common place in the 90s, and even if you got given the goal you can’t know for certain if Rangers wouldn’t score again, it’s unlikely but because Rangers had genuine match winners you never know! Plus Celtic had to build to challenge Rangers because Celtic weren’t always even second back then, they had to get rid of those weird Kelly guys, then they built a better stadium because the way it used to look was terrible! Piece by piece Celtic became a force again! Which is why Rangers never won 10 because Celtic were stronger than they had been in an about 13 years or more at that point.And because Celtic never really troubled Rangers for years- I just find it a reach that one result would have won them the league, especially when they’ve been extremely unsuccessful with no real knack of winning the league at that time. Celtic came good and stopped Rangers winning 10 and even though the season after they won it the first Advocaat year was a treble and won at Celtic Park, but because of all the good steady work Celtic did over those years it wasn’t wasted it actually laid the basic ground work for the Martin O’Neil era! Which a great time for Celtic, they didn’t win every title under him but they were a force to be reckoned with. Mate I don’t make things up in favour of Rangers, if Celtic do good I’d say.- like u can see I’m doing. Sorry this is long I just wanted to get it right.

[@irishroverX]

Well cardiff and swansea play in england and they're welsh which states the case even more. I guess the SPL would basically collapse if the old firm were to leave but leaving is the only way they'll ever truly progress. The other problem being how to allocate them? Extend an already long premier league season to 22 teams or put them in the championship to begin with? Theres no doubt that celtic and rangers are absolutely huge, apart from man utd &liverpool they're bigger clubs than the rest.

[@OurWorldIsBroken]

His name is Erik Bo Andersen, not Anderson :)

[@Kyu1985]

iam a dundee utd fan and hate rangers and celtic but ive always grown up to like davie robertson. think he's been the best left in the 90's

LOL. Look at the club badges @ 0:27. xD

[@matty121]

@cmacmuiris not a statement its fact. it was on followfollow (rangers forum for those who dont know) and from an official site that takes these stats.

[@dietspam23]

I wish I was there

[@The160879]

What a night. I was only 17 and kicked every all. Great memories. Watching Walter smith with big Santa in the enclosure was the best.

[@tearlach45]

Celtic had a good team back then, Rangers were just miles better. Bad times now, both teams are piss poor.

[@munn2006]

@BenjiStone You don't think we run Scotland? Then that's your prerogative. The brothers know you are wrong. 33

[@irishroverX]

Thats not my point i mean in a hypothetical situation of rangers and celtic having the same squads as now and were to play the 38 games from the premiership they would be in a relegation scrap. I just meant based on current quality. But on that point, it is a pity they cant play in england i would be in favour of it, because at the end of the day whos benefiting from the current format? At least the scottish league would have different winners and the old firm could do themselves some justice.

[@irishroverX]

@MrBaphomet666 ok we'll agree to disagree but please dont tell me that this match here in question wasnt fixed. The decisions were disgraceful.

[@andersfraodense]

@KennyReid and behind Denmark in UEFA coefficient......

[@michaelcampin1464]

As the Chairman of Sunderland said "Ally McCoist will never be a goalscorer as long as I've got a hole in my arse" As they say the rest is history

[@Flimzilla1879]

Fair enough Rangers won but they may not have gotten the 3rd if Cadete hadn't had his goal wrongly chopped off.

[@Roche1983]

haha 'controlling the ball with his hand while in an offside position' ?? fail and fail. take off the blue tinted specs. perfectly good goal and all the huns know it. robbery.

[@tramlad2]

Two cracking teams going toe to toe, these two teams are head and shoulders above today's teams Di Canio was mental good player but mad as a hatter. Rangers were too clinical on the day. Some atmosphere

[@pasqual87able]

no one mentioning the robbery of cadete, from the most corrupt dead club in world football

[@carpfishingyoda5096]

Cadete goal should have stood cheating linesman

[@limpinz]

LOL! What a home ref.!

[@campbo]

@GOATthePeoplesArmy He done it countless times. I remember him leaving several Rangers defenders looking daft and chipping Klos at Ibrox and thats just off the top of my head. Im not arguing Laudrups credentials as he was a top player but seriously to say Larsson wasnt a game winner and couldnt skin players is ridiculously stupid

[@crystalsavery5430]

Im a rangers fan and Larsson was super, not seen the guys comment about Larsson but he won Celtic titles with his goals. Daftness on both sides as always

[@TOLLCROSSER]

cadete's goal was on-side we always get cheated if you look closeley the ref and linesmen have hun tops on under there uniform

[@colcho18]

oh you hurting eddie bwahahahahahaha

[@skolenfri9292]

Red Romario 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@irishroverX]

@MrBaphomet666 Fair enough so, rangers dont get favourable decisons time and again and the majority of people in scotland dont prefer them to celtic.

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

The Cadette goal was ruled off for hand ball. not offside

[@stephenmcwilliams5842]

Wrong. Cadete controlled it with his thigh. Watch the shite linesman flag for offside. How could he see a "handball"?

[@craigbrown5667]

Fuckin love it

[@irishroverX]

@MrBaphomet666 Im not saying there was a constant bias but it did surface now and again, and ultmately if a team is good enough they can overcome such things as celtic did in the past. But this match for example clearly had an agenda, those decisons against celtic were blatant. Also, on the subject of referees didnt it come to light that hugh dallas who ref'd many an old firm game turned out to be a rangers fan and his son was an ibrox season ticket holder? Talk about a conflict of interest!

[@irishroverX]

@MrBaphomet666 Theres a reason im impartial as scottish football is beyond a joke. I dont know how u can be excitied or passionate about a league thats got 2 teams only. Not only that 2 teams that have declined so much now that even if they were in the championship they could struggle to get promotion. Dont u think that cardiff city or leeds for example would have every chance of beating the old firm? And as for the rest, the likes of aberdeen or motherwell would probably get relegated in it!

[@irishroverX]

There was 2 blatant decisions here that went against celtic, first being an obvious foul that lead to the second goal and cadete's goal that was clearly onside. I can draw comparisons to the way the situation used to be in spain where a lot of dubious decisions went to real madrid as they were seen as the "state" team and nobody really liked barca and therefore used to suffer hostility quite a lot. It was somewhat similar in scotland. Although thankfully this is not the case anymore.

[@nathanbee1]

7.09 davie weir lmao

[@campbo]

@GOATthePeoplesArmy Are you joking? Larsson never skinned 3 players and scored? lolololol

[@Bobthehamster11]

bo job

[@irishroverX]

@MrBaphomet666 Well i did touch on the fact that hugh dallas's son was a season ticket holder at ibrox and who no less was sacked from his position as head of ref development for sectarian abuse he dished out. And mike mccurry whos sister was a season ticket holder at ibrox and whos involved in an orange order. That infamous rangers dundee utd match 2 yrs ago was truly a scandal, like i said levein's interview was bang on, rangers had to win by any means neccessary and mccurry duly obliged them.

[@andrewccochrane8052]

The superleague thing might happen depending on future finance but it kinda defeats the purpose of european competition then, also scotland as an example wouldnt be guaranteed a club then in the champions league. There could be all sorts of pitfalls to it. Either way change is required, in the meantime gotta settle for trips away to st johnstone on a bitter bollock freezing january night!

[@danielhughes984]

Incredibly biased view. Cadete was onside and never touched the ball with his hand and Celtic were the better team.

[@jaysea32]

This shows how good Rangers were because Celtic had a top team.

[@irishroverX]

@MrBaphomet666 Again so u understand, i dont support celtic ok, in fact a lot of irish people dont give a fuck about celtic believe it or not. My main point is specificially about rangers gettin favourable decisions against everybody not just celtic. And dallas ref'd lots of OF matches and his neutrality is questionable to say the least. McCurry's performance in that dundee utd game was suspicious and subsequently it turned out his family had rangers connections so questions have to be asked.

@MrBaphomet666 Yeah but tradition dies hard in england, they wont change their ways! Yeah german football seems to be steady, has the highest average attendances in europe apparently. Pity pro football in ireland isnt big, otherwise we could have the rugby system of the "magners league" with a unified scottish, welsh and irish league. I was about to call it a celtic league there(k pronounication), id better be careful ha ha! Imagine the piss ups on those trips ha ha!
