Best come back I have ever seen live was our play off Semi Final against Alloa last season at Broadwood. 5-2 down on aggregate with 30 minutes to go. A goal from McSwegan with 4 Minutes or so to go made it 4-3 to us on the day and all square on aggregate. We went on to win 5-3 after extra time adn 6-5 on aggregate. Unbelievable match to witness.

Other than that Yugoslavia Vs Spain , 4-3 at Euro 2000(?) has to be up there.

Charlton v Huddersfield, season 46/47. This was a game played in the English First Division. The first full season back after the war and attendances were at an all time high.

Huddersfield went into a 2-0 lead at half time. A couple of minutes after the break Charlton scored but this just seemed to anger Huddersfield who rattled in 3 in quick succession.

5-1 down with 20 minutes to go Charlton not only equalised but went into a 6-5 lead, scoring 5 in 12 minutes.

Huddersfield equalised only for Charlton to make it 7-6 in the last minute.

It is the only instance in British football of a team scoring 6 goals and losing the match.

Liverpool in the Champions League Final against Milan has to be up there I think, especially when you consider that it's the biggest game in club football and they were playing against one of the best teams in the world (at the time).

Nearly, same season - 00-01.

Your thinking of the ICT 4 Ayr 3 game , where Ayr were 3-0 up at half time.

The ICT 7 Ayr 3 cup game was 0-0 at half time.

A few seasons ago Stirling Albion were 2-0 down to East Stirlingshire (when they were really shit) with 12 minutes to go. Stirling then scored 4 goals to win 4-2.

It was just before I started going but apparently on 19th March 1983 Queens led Striling Albion 3-0 with 20 minutes to go and lost 5-3. dry.gif

that 4-3 inverness game was hellish. cracking bus journey us, good few bevvies on the bus, and a 3-0 scottish cup lead at half time. then it all fell apart! all 7 goals were at the other end of the park from where we were as well!

i can remember a couple of inverness goals being crackers as well i think?

I mind doing a cartwheeel on the pitch when we got the 3rd or 4th goal. I was young and foolish at the time. Now I am just foolish.

Liverpool in Istanbul - that is all wink.gif

Tottenham v Man City in the FA cup a few years back

3 down at HT and down to ten men,came back to win 4-3. Remarkable.

Spurs 3 - 5 Man Utd

Man Utd were 3-0 down at half time and came back to win 5-3

Manchester utd in european cup final, 1-0 down with one minute to go but win 2-1 in normal time.
Manchester utd V Spurs (I think) 3-0 down at half-time but win 5-3.
Liverpool as mentioned above.
Portugal V North Korea 1966, 3-0 down but Eusebio scores four as Portugal go on to win 5-3, played in Liverpool I think.

Tried to rack my brains for a similar County one since Caley get a mention...

A Friday night 3-0 down in Inverness, and we nab one (before half time?) for 3-1. Steven McGarry goes on to fire a volley from 20 yards into the top corner in the last minute.
There are more spectacular recoveries, but we were pish at the time, and it was a derby, so I was delighted. Followed by my trip to Hampden to see us beat the Netherlands 1-0 with McFadden scoring.

I love Friday night football.

We were 3-0 to Stenhousemuir at Ochilview several years ago at HT, came back to win 4-3.

Less of a margin but it was a more meaningful one, coming back from 2-0 at HT at home to Falkirk, to win 4-2.

Greatest comeback i ever saw was the 4-4 Hearts v Hibs match at Tynecastle a couple of years ago biggrin.gif

Went to Celtic Park about 1965 with a mate who was a Third lanark supporter. After 15 minutes Thirds were 4-0 up. It finished 4-4. We were gutted.

I was at an Albion Rovers - St Johnstone in 1990 or thereabouts. Rovers were 2-0 up at half time, yet went on to lose either 5-2 or 5-3.

The Dunfermline-Airdrie game mentioned earlier actually finished 4-3 to us. The scoring went as follows:

1-0
2-0
2-1
2-2
3-2
3-3
3-4

The last two goals were in 87 and 90 minutes. with a wrongly disallowed "equaliser" a few minutes earlier.

I can also nominate a "greatest ever fucked up comeback" involving Airdrie.

We were 3-0 down to Stenny at Ochilview a few years back. At half time, I suggested returning to the pub, but was talked out of it by my mate. We got back to 3-3 in the 2nd half, only to lose to a 30-yarder in the last minute.

Ouch.

In John Connolly's first game as Queens manager in August 2000 we were 3-0 down at half time to Stenhousemuir at Ochilview and got it back to 3-3 with five minutes or so left, only to lose 4-3 to a last minute header.

Deja vu?

It was the season we battled with Airdrie for the title. We were 2-0 down with 21 minutes to go and still losing with 9 minutes to go. We won 5-2!
