I was never allowed to go as a kid so when I turned 16 I got to go. We beat them 5-1 (flo's debut) don't remember how I got home I was buzzing . 

Hope you get to one mate 

 

I'll get to one soon. Hopefully be as good as your first one. I've a good feeling for this Saturday. 3-2 to the Gers. Miller scoring a late winner

I remember back in 2011, me and my brother got tickets last minute to the game there where they beat us 1-0. We couldn't get on a bus cause it was that late in the day they had all left, so we got a lift off one of my pals and he only wanted to drop us somewhere far away from the stadium so he missed the traffic. We came off at the Parkhead junction on the M8 going west-bound. Then stopped in the middle of a main road and got out. Didn't have a clue which direction the stadium was in, there was no football traffic or nothing. My brother said he had a 'feeling' it was to the right, so we started walking, we seen a wee paki shop, so jumped in to ask for directions but as we were walking in a guy about 50 odds walked out with a Celtic scarf on, so I asked what way the stadium was to him and instead of telling us he went "Follow me chaps" didn't really want to walk to the piggery with a beggar so was feeling a bit awkward, then he turned around and went to us "This your first time at paradise eh? Where are you's sitting?" -- Rangers end. His face was priceless, he looked at us and went "Keep walking straight down and you'll see it" then he crossed the road :lol:

We approached it from the opposite end to the Gers end and had to walk through them all, that's as close as I've ever came and that was hard enough, smelly mutant bastards

There's a video on YouTube of Miller's penalty in the 3-1 game from 2010 from their end.  No idea how the boy managed it without getting a smack.

I'd never go in their end myself.  Went in the Hibs end at Easter Road once about 10 years ago and it was awful.  Think we won 1-0 with a Prso penalty.  Novo was sent off early on.

Nearest I got to it was many moons ago in the old terracing and must have been a cup tie as we got all our usual end behind the goal and half the jungle. Stupid plod were keeping fans apart with a line of cops down the middle not realising the piss house at the back ran the full length of the back wall and the fans were knocking seven bells out of each other in the middle of the bogs.

In Souness''s first season we were marching towards the title . The last league game at parkhead and it was mayhem trying to get a ticket.There were rumours Rangers fans had bought tickets for their end of the ground. There were 3 or 4 of us and we stood down by the corner flag at the main stand side.

They scored and a good part of the area we were in at the celtic end never moved. We left just after half time as this was not unnoticed by the locals.

Must have been bold as fuck back then but would have been easier in the old terracing.

I can't remember the result, I think we lost, but for the game that Papac knocked himself out with a goal line clearance, I was actively trying to get a ticket in their end.

For as long as I can remember, I've managed to have an Old Firm ticket tied-up in advance, whether that be through CCCS or one of the supporters buses. For that game, I hadn't got a sniff and with less than a week to go, against much advice, I was doing all I could and that included their end.

Thankfully, I ended up with a ticket in our end.

The tramps were in the boozer getting ready to leave to go to the 1973 SCF.
Having just came up from London that morning and had headed to this boozer and no ticket arranged or bus arranged,and with a good drink in me the tramps are asking if i'm going to the match,and me saying it was too late to get the train the tramps suggest I go on there bus.
Having a good drink in me I laugh it off and head for the bus full of bravado and it seems to be a laugh on the way with some of them who were ok but the fenian side of the bus were growling.
Well!! The final was history with us beating the smelly tinkers 3-2 and a crowd of 124,000 paid to get in and thousands more never.
Big Tam nearly knocked the goals over with his shot to win us the cup.
Scotty came back on the train and when he met up with the tramps they asked where did I get to and told them it mighta been funny going but was not taking any chances coming back.
One of the smellies ended up CEO at the breezeblock

I've done it , Souness's first game against them at the piggery. Was young and desperate to see it at any cost and consider myself to be as "real" a fan as any cunt on here mate. Wouldn't recommend it though you live and learn.

Haha I did it for that game to. We lost 1-0 right? My memory ain't the best. Remember though that you couldn't get a Rangers end ticket for love nor money and I took a walk around their end and got one no bother. Never again though was fuckin hellish when they scored. Did Souness get sent off? Pretty sure he did.

One day as I was leaving with my old man for an OF game at Ibrox a guy in a tarrier scarf came up to us and asked for directions to Ibrox, in a ROI accent.

It was so tempting to send him in completely the wrong direction, but we were decent enough to send him the right way, in fact the safest way as he was on his own.
