Rangers 4 - Hearts 3 - 1996 League Cup Final

Paul Gascoigne was the hero for Rangers as they defeated Hearts 4-3 at Parkhead. Ally McCoist had put Rangers two goals up before Steve Fulton brought Hearts back into the match by scoring just before half-time. Hearts dominated at the start of the second half and John Robertson equalised but just minutes later Gascoigne scored the first of his two goals as he won the cup for Rangers. Davie Weir scored a late consolation goal.

Neil McCann was absolutely sensational in that 2nd half. Amazed it took us a further 2 years to sign him

[@scottconnor8867]

Pretty sure he tore us apart in the 98 Scottish cup final as well. He was a great wee player for us and I was sad to see him leave for Southampton in 03.

[@tgraham7290]

Neil McCann was dynamite in that game

[@willowbankbear]

Excellent game , McCann was terrific that day

[@fletchrfc2063]

I can see why we wanted McCann so much after this game, the guy was astounding, especially this game!

[@gordonmorton7551]

Would love a young McCoist in this era's Rangers team. He'd be absolutely lethal playing alongside Morelos.

[@Carrale086]

what a player McCann!

[@reniisgod]

Was at this game back in the day. Gazza and McCann were absolutely brilliant that day

[@hatespc]

Gascoigne pure genius. Has a double brandy at half time then comes out and scores those two goals.

[@allancaldwell7233]

He should have got the sack for drinking on the job well hes fuck now Glasgow Glasgow rangers you let your club die

[@martinreynolds6027]

Aye great pro that he was - NOT!

[@LordFlashheart.11]

correct..Archie Knox told him to after he had a bollocking from Walter Smith...after the game the players went for a meal to celebrate and gazza wasn't allowed as he already he'd his drink! Gazza found out where they were and turned up naked!

[@andrewfailes1402]

No wonder we signed Neil McCann he was sensational, a truly great Scottish player.

[@callumbrown5490]

One of the most underrated Scottish players if he was Brazilian and playing the way he did at rangers aswell in Europe he would have had alot of epl teams after him guy was class had it all as a winger and could also score you goals

[@scottconnor8867]

@@callumbrown5490 He went to the EPL.

cheers for posting this mate. despite the score, it was some game and kept me warm on a freezing cold day

[@jambodave72]

Best game I have been to where Hearts have lost. Pleased we got our revenge in '98 Scottish Cup final.

[@morry22]

Great cup final and two classic Rangers and Hearts sides. Thank fuck Hearts won the Scottish cup 18 months later or I might not be here typing this!

Gazza Gascoigne a natural

[@jimbowie4504]

That was the coldest day ever it was freezing lol

[@cocoajaff]

What a player McCann was.

[@zelmaso]

I remember this game, still got a Rangers shirt from that season ^^

[@brianlaudrupchannel]

Mcanns wing play looked on par with laudrup

[@navnig]

He was head and shoulders above Laudrup that day imo. He gave us no end of problems.

[@flankspeed]

His final ball wasn't the equal of Laudrup's, but he could beat people all day, and had great pace. Underrated. Maybe should have played for the national side more than he did. No wonder we bought him 😄

[@kristiankeddie4664]

U don't get games like that anymore

[@118B]

I get the point yous are saying about McCann but let's be honest if both were fit and playing well and just had the 1 position to be filled? Whom you gonna pick? PERSONALLY Laudrop, although says a lot about McCann that we're leaving these comments. Delighted we bought him - had a massive helping hand In soooo many important goals for us. We were spoilt for talent for so long. We quite literally built up a quality team - because we had to. But is this team no shaping up nicely 👌🏻♥️🤍💙🇬🇧✊🏻

[@118B]

Gazza was a genuis as this vid shows!! Another excellent display from him 🇬🇧✊🏻

[@garryrobertson9412]

What a game

[@azpark]

I was der! Was 10! Mccann was a game changer dat day!

[@DavidSim1994WATP]

Davie Weir doesn't look any younger!

[@bringbackjericho]

@KnowYourTeam Actually, at the end of 9IAR, Rangers were £5.1m in the black.

[@hectorbeer]

Does anyone know who wore number 18 shirt for rangers that day?

[@robbiewright9145]

Was that true about Gazza having a drink at HT?

[@droppenkiken]

And a fight with McCoist too 😂

[@chrisnorton8363]

Craig Moore had to pay to get back in wee McCann left him for dead that many times!

[@beatboaby8952]

No wonder we signed Neil McCann

[@GraemeK310]

def a foul on robbo by bjorklund before gazzas goal. i was there, great game but wrong result- ayep!! i'm a jambo!

[@bringbackjericho]

In the black means they were solvent to the tune of £5.1m, not £5.1m in debt, genius.

[@ppppickup]

some game this

[@AB-kx4nc]

Mccaan had players for fun

[@Stu3100]

Really? And you are involved in the tax case V Glasgow Rangers PLC? As in the Company?

[@Mad-Cyril]

Ahhh.....A flashback to the days the Hertz fans copied Aberdeen fans' twirling their scarfs above their heads.......I remember seeing them doing it and thinking...."For fk sake, this is not cool anymore". Then Aberdeen stopped doing it....

[@andym28]

Been doing it since the 80s pal

[@martinreynolds6027]

Huns get another wee helping hand from Dallas, denying Hearts a pen. Yet another honest mistake.

[@scottconnor8867]

You are one bigoted little shitebag of a bhoy. Plenty of “honest” mistakes go your clubs way as well.
