In 1968, my mate and I were only 12 years old. We went to see Celtic v Hamilton Accies at Celtic Park in a League Cup Tie.
It was raining all day in Glesga, and we were in the old Enclosure with NO COVER.
We both got soaked as Celtic went 2 Goals up. We both decided that the game was Won, and then we headed out early to get the Public Bus ( old SMT Bus) back hame to Easterhoose.
By the time I got home, by Granda asked me the score as he dried me oot ?
” It was Two Nothing for Celtic when we left Granda”.
Granda said ( LAUGHING)…” Two Nothing…..ya EEJIT….You MISSED EIGHT Celtic Goals ” ?
Celtic had won 10 – 0, with Lennox and Chalmers getting FIVE Goals each !
I cannae leave the Holy Ground early ever again…. there were mitigating circumDances.

Anyone else remember Neil Mochan scoring 5 goals against St Mirren in Scottish Cup at Celtic Park?
1960 it was. 5-2 final score. And to think Neil so often played at left back.
The uncle who took me to that game was a season book holder up until he died recently at 88 years old.
He also took me to ibrox the following year, ” …to see a really good team” he said. It was the Motherwell team of Pat Quinn, Ian St John, Willie Hunter and Bert McCann…the Ancell babes as they were known.
5-2 to the ‘Well. What a night! What a team!

Definitely not a derby for me.
Although there was certainly plenty of animosity between the supporters back in the late 60s /70s.
I had put it down to the Manchester fans being unhappy with the success and arrogance of Leeds and their supporters with a bit of Lancashire / Yorkshire rivalry thrown in.
I have a vague memory of a battle of an fa cup semi between Utd and Leeds in 1970 before Leeds got to the final v Chelsea. I think there was also a suggestion that Revie had organised something to provide a “distraction” for George Best before the tie so that he wasn’t at his most energetic during the game.
Don’t see it as being a traditional derby, although it could be an older rivalry.

Man United are Leeds’ biggest rivals – the fans hate United more than anyone else. It’s a Yorkshire Lancashire thing, made worse by the violence in the 70s
It’s not a fake rivalry, Leeds fans don’t fake hatred.
My mate and I didnt have a watch between us, so we were unsure of how long there was to go , when we left at 2 – 0 ?
Obviously, we SHOULD have asked someone in the Enclosure, but we were both SOAKED right thru, and I think we were both just desperate to get our Bus and get dried oot ASAP !
1970 Cup Final Leeds v Chelsea= the dirtiest English game I ever saw. I think Chelsea were the dirtier of the 2. Harris kicked Eddie Gray all over the park, Eddie who said he would have given his left arm to have played for the Celtic. What a player. His brother Frank wasn’t bad either.
My Dad and his mate, Allan, used to stand in the middle of the Jungle, near the “toilet”. Those around used to encourage him to use it, because, seemingly, whenever he did, Celtic scored….True story.
Well, I might as well tell you now. You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie. But as far as I’m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest f***ing dustbin you can find, because you’ve never won any of them fairly. You’ve done it all by bloody cheating.
Me and my mate MUST have left in the FIRST HALF, when it was 2 – 0.
It wasnt so bad though, as we DIDN’T PAY to get in due to getting a Lift Over.

No idea what Douglas Ross was doing officiating tonight, overweight, slow & not remotely fit enough to run the line in the lowland league let alone high profile cup tie, an SFA favourite so imagine they’re trying to get him upto speed for the Final, shouldn’t be near this level.

Watched a rerun of Scotland v Wales earlier and noticed a few spectators openly drinking from cans of Tennants lager at their seats.

That final replay was the first game I saw live on a colour tv.
Needless to say, it wasn’t in our house.
My memory is also of it being a very dirty game.
Very exciting though.
Never liked Leeds.

VAR check on possible offside for Rashfords goal takes around quarter of the time our checks take .
