I’ve never in all my years heard anybody say ‘we’ve got tickets for the east/west end/terracing’ LOL It's pathetic that our 'National' Stadium would have a 'Rangers' or 'Celtic' end. Fucking pathetic. I know why, traditionally, these clubs used these ends when they did meet at Hampden but for these terms to be used as some sort of colloquialism just reeks of shite.

It’s what they’re known as though and it ain’t changing anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 On TV, the Rangers end is left and the Celtic end is right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 What about the sides? I think they should be given names. How about the North Stand becomes the Rangers* Colts Stand and the South Stand the Celtic Colts Stand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly that's also what it says on the ticket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Was the diabolical photo retouching done at the time for a newspaper or something? That's one of the worst I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Two fine left pegs no longer with us, Tommy Burns and Davie Cooper, a 0-0 draw at Ibrox in August 1984, the last ever Rangers v Celtic game without a sponsor logo on the jerseys, CR Smith signed a deal with both clubs midway through the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Jimmy Johnstone at Dundee in 1977. Sadly his stay at Dens was short lived due in no small part to his fondness for the drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Some proper trackie top mash up with Gordon McQueen and a Brazilian player I cant quite place, perhaps an older poster may know, looks late 1970's to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Whether right or wrong everybody (except a few folk on here) calls them the Rangers and Celtic ends. I’ve never in all my years heard anybody say ‘we’ve got tickets for the east/west end/terracing’ LOL I've been going to Scotland games with a bunch of pals for over 10 years and we call it the West stand. I get the feeling the rangers and Celtic end thing is slightly (maybe not by much) less of a thing compared to yesteryear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Nigel Spackman and Dariusz Dzeikanowski tussle at Ibrox in 1990, the bold 'Jacki' was more renowned for his shagging exploits than goalscoring in his year or so at Celtic unfortunately, although I painfully recall him scoring four goals v Partizan Belgrade that season in a 5-4 win that meant we still went out on the fucking dreaded away goals, typical Celtic of that era, he was punted off to Bristol City not long after missing an absolute fucking sitter v the **** towards the end of normal time in the 1990 League Cup final, a match we lost in extra time, many believe that was the final straw for Billy McNeil who was already losing faith and patience in the undoubtedly talented, but inconsistent and unreliable Polish striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
