That was my older brothers first Old Firm game.

My Dad didn't go back to Ibrox for 10 years after that,he got to the bottom of the stairs and heard his big mate scream his name.He turned and ran back pulling his mate onto the grass verge.

It was only just before he died that he spoke about that day to me..he died 29 years after the Ibrox Disaster and kept that day bottled up for all those years.

i can't imagine what those poor people went through...god bless em.

Absent friends.....RIP. Was to young to be at the game in question...But well and truly remember the 20th anniversary at Ibrox..against the mhanks...when the scummy tattiemunchers booed throughout the minutes silence......just adding to my personal loathing of all things green and grey.

I'll never forget that.

And they make banners and supposedly mourn every obscure death, when will they ever show sympathy for the victims of Scottish football's worst disaster?

Rhetorical.

New Year Bells had been ringing,

All of Scotland was singing,

The old year had died,

And the new had been born.

As the news of disaster

From Ibrox came spreading,

The news that would cause

A whole nation to mourn

Two great goals had been scored,

In the last dying moments.

Jimmy Johnson for Celtic,

For RangersĂ¢â‚¬â„¢ young Stein.

Their supporters all cheered them,

With voices of thunder,

Unknowing what waited on staircase 13

66 people died

Some in flower of their manhood,

When the fences gave way

And the barriers bent,

Seasoned Glasgow policemen their faces all tearstained,

With brave efforts, endeavoured far worse to prevent.

All of Glasgow enjoined,

For the first time in history.

In the Glasgow cathedral no BillyĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s, no DanĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s

But the Old Firm united to pray for their victims,

Of a tragedy set in the memory of man.

New Year Bells had been ringing,

All of Scotland was singing,

The old year had died,

And the new had been born.

As the news of disaster

From Ibrox came spreading,

The news that would cause

A whole nation to mourn.
