Rangers 3 - Celtic 2 - Scottish Cup Final 2002

Peter Lovenkrands scored a last minute winner as Rangers won the Scottish Cup at Hampden. Celtic had twice taken the lead, through firstly John Hartson and then Bobo Balde, but Rangers fought back. Lovenkrands had equalised Hartsons early strike and then an inspired Barry Ferguson fired in a tremendous free-kick as Rangers dominated in the second half. As time was running out there was A twist in the tale as Neil McCann crossed for Lovenkrands to score and send the Celtic fans charging for the exits.

I’m a Rangers man..regardless we should celebrate the world class players that were playing for both teams back then. How lucky were we? Larson, De Boer, Cannagia, Sutton, Hartson, Klos. We will never see the likes of it again.

@@OzzyOscy well one of them in green hate our country, our flag, our Queen, our army, our culture and our history oh and our people and celebrate our innocent citizens being murdered by IRA terrorists. One of them is proud of all listed and does anything but celebrate those acts of terrorism, they condemn them and hate the terrorists who done it yet they are portrayed as the bad guys by the infiltrated unBritish media that has taken over our country.

'There once was a team called rangers Phil warned of certain financial dangers But they were lax Refused to pay tax The club died and their fans are being robbed by strangers.' That is a Limerick, a world famous poetry form named after a county in the Republic of Ireland. If they didn't die, why were they not allowed to take the Euro place for Oldco being second to Celtic? They didn't have the correct credentials, because Sevco was a NEW club. Diddy team formed as tribute act.

[@ultimok]

Soalfire - I was at that game too. I was sick for days after it cos they scored in injury time, where there was 5 mins of injury time. Where that came from i do not know but made up for it the following season when i went to the tattie bowl to see the Gers fuck them 4-2!! Amazing!!
