I've been in the home end a few times when Celtic have played away from home.
Hibs was probably the worst in the early 1990s.
Aberdeen could get bad, when they stopped allowing us to congregate in the South Stand but I always managed to get a Beach End ticket.
I was in the Main Stand at Ibrox for a reserve match, which was brought up by my cousin last week.
My cousin was doing first aid.
She was in shock when she saw me going to the toilets at half time.
I checked the game and it was in 1997 and there was 34,000 at the match.
Rangers had a team full of Internationals including Ferguson, Niemi, Vidmar, Johannson and they also had Durrant and Albertz in their starting lineup.
I'm sure our manager was Willie McStay and he played a team full of teenagers.
Vidmar scored early on and I thought Celtic were going to get hammered.
But we came back to secure a terrific 1-1 draw.
Before Celtic got our 2nd half equaliser,
We went down to 10 men in the first half and then down to 9 men after we equalised.
I left with about 5 minutes to go,
Hoping I wasn't going to hear a cheer walking along the road.

I remember my first Celtic v rangers and I was in the rangers end at Ibrox as my dad's pal could only get him a ticket for their end. I remember cheering when Charlie Nicholas scored and my dad and his pal not being impressed. ?.

My first Rangers game was the 1980 cup final. I thought they were all like that. ?. I recall it was a c*** game but who cares, we won. Amazing celebrations at the end with the dust cloud ( those older Bhoys will know what I mean) . My snot was black that night ??.
