This. I was confident we would beat them in the first semi, but was convinced we were in for a bad night on the second one. That night, as anyone who was there will remember was on pishy horrible wet night. I got held up at work, then just after picking the mrs up, some dick ran into me, puncturing a tyre, which I had to change (in a suit) in the pishing rain. Went to pick my old man up to take him and he didn't want to go. Finally persuaded him and got in just before kick off, as as most will remember the first 5/10 mins was a fucking nightmare. I was in a foul mood and could cheerfully have left when they scored their second. Glad I stayed though. Have to say, that was one of the best nights ever at the footie. I enjoyed that more than the final, which was just toooooo tense. I'd seen us lose multiple semis, starting with the '75/6 debacle with Rangers. To finally see us win at Hampden against either of the arse cheeks was a 'Well fans dream come true.

Hope Miller gets some minutes. This will be my first international since the early 80s 😊 My old age got brought home to me about 18 months ago, when someone brought an SFA 150th anniversary shirt in to my shop get framed. I thought, fuck me, I was at the centenary game ! Versus England, played in the snow, orange ball and a full on proper pumping it was too !

They could easily have buried us in the first half, but despite all the pressure and chances, they never got more than a goal ahead. I was right behind the goals, quite low down and I couldn't see Dougie at the second goal. A good ball played in and the next thing, the ball was nestling in the back of the net. Absolute scenes. Psycho's goal was just out of this world. I said to my old man at the time and watching it back confirms this. When that goal went in, if you look at the Celtic players, it looks like someone has run round and stuck a pin in them all. They all just instantly deflated. Kirkie's goal was the icing on the icing. I remember at the time that it seemed to take an age for the ref to actually give it, but watching it back, it's only 2 or 3 seconds. Those last few mins, knowing that the game was in the bag are the best feeling i've ever had as a football fan. Even my old man, who was quite elderly at the time, was bouncing up and down, singing and hugging random cunts ! What a feeling that was !

It sometimes bubbles up , 😔

The whole 'Celtic don't lose replays' chat was heavy in the air that week, the football for our 2nd goal was tremendous, obviously Psycho's screamer was the talking point, Celtic couldn't deal with us and it was fucking brilliant, bus lost all it's windows on the way back, nobody gave a shit
