Russell recognises echoes of 1980 as Scottish Cup showpiece descends into chaos
via Evening Times |
BOBBY Russell thought the days of police horses being required to restore order after national cup finals were long gone. The former Rangers midfielder, a veteran of the infamous 1980 Scottish Cup final which ended in a massed riot between Celtic and Rangers fans on the Hampden pitch, wasn’t at the national stadium yesterday, choosing instead to watch the match at a city centre pub with his brother and their sons.
