i,d really love to go and see an old firm game again , i,ve never been back to one after the disaster, if i remember rightly i was up in glasgow for a wee holiday and went to the one match rangers versus arsenal on the centenary match, i was always a regular at ibrox and away games too with varios supporters clubs in brigton, the mermaid , the glennifer, the blue lagoon the station bar the cactus and masons bar and the bristol, many moons ago now, who knows i might return one day with my boy and show him a proper derby game and better than the liverpool and everton matches atmoshere wise but i think the english premier just is a wee bit better, especially after watching that last 0-0 game on setanta then watching aston villa and everton afterwards. made the spl look second rate. i,m sorry to say.

Ah wiz only six when Celtic won 7-1 bit ah stull remember the euphoria of mah Uncles, ah remember getting hauf a croon aff aw ma Mammy's brothers (seven of thame) ah wiz loaded that day Bit mah Mammy took maist o it aff me : Ah used tae luv the banter atween mah Rangers supportin family and mah Celtic supportin family, the patter wiz second tae none, great memories, and anywiy Rangers hiv always goat the helicopter tae remember Celtic entered the final as holders, having beaten Partick Thistle the previous year. Rangers were the reigning Scottish Football League Champions. The match was the first League Cup final contested by the Old Firm, and was held at a sunny Hampden Park in Glasgow, at 3.45pm on the afternoon of 19 October 1957. Celtic attacked from the start, with shots hitting the post twice in the first twenty minutes. The first goal was scored by Sammy Wilson, from a Charlie Tully cross on in the 22nd minute. Rangers defended for the remainder of the first half, however in the 44th minute Neil Mochan scored a solo goal after a run down the left wing. Within eight minutes of the restart Billy McPhail scored Celtic's third goal with a header from a Bobby Collins cross. Rangers narrowed the margin five minutes later, a goal by Simpson, however it only served to reinvigorate the Celtic attack as McPhail, then Mochan scored their second goals. In the 80th minute, McPhail claimed his third, a hat-trick of goals all scored with his head. As the game drew to a close violence flared in among the fans, but in the final minute McPhail was fouled in the Rangers' penalty area. He declined the opportunity to score a fourth goal, a feat never achieved by a player in an Old Firm match, instead Willie Fernie took the kick. In addition to the seven goals, Celtic hit the woodwork four times. They were permitted to keep their jerseys as a souvenir of the day.[8] Much of the blame for the poor defensive display by Rangers was attributed to centre back John Valentine, who had signed from Queen's Park earlier that season. Bobby Collins told The Sunday Post "I don’t know if Valentine had no faith in George Niven or Niven had no faith in Valentine, but ultimately they had no faith in themselves, something you can sense very quickly on a football field, and inevitably the game became a rout. The victory, reported in The Times as "a wonderful exhibition of football" and as an "October Revolution" by The Sunday Post, was comprehensive. The scoreline remains a record in any major British football final, the record margin of victory in an Old Firm game, and Rangers' record defeat. haw jack i wanae even born then yer getting as bad as the english with there 1966 world cup
