    What a crowd. Obviously an infirm game as Ralph Brand (Rangers) is mentioned as scoring.
    The caption also says they all got in. Sorry but where exactly did they all squeeze into? LOL

    Update on that picture.

    Rangers v Celtic

    1963 SCF replay

    crowd 129,643 which amazingly is 11,000 less than the highest attendance (Celtic v Aberdeen).

    Sad though that those pics/stats presage the 1971 game at Ibrox when 66 people were crushed to death. I don't think the 1971 disaster was precipitated by crowd trouble. But I still can't believe people would even talk about going back to standing at football matches, given the risks. And I haven't even mentioned Hillsbrough.
