Celtic Rangers Scottish Cup Final 1969




26 April 1969 


Hampden Park,


Glasgow


 


 Saturday 26th April 1969 was the day Celtic thrashed Rangers 4:0 in the Scottish Cup final in front of a crowd of 133,000, a scoreline which even today brings a smile to my wrinkled and weather-beaten old face.


Although Celtic were slight favourites at the bookies, the papers at the time thought it might take a replay to separate the teams given that we were without our two wingers Johnstone (suspended) and Hughes (injured).
