Two teams locked together on the final day of a great season - Martin O'Neill's glorious UEFA Cup finalists Celtic, and Alex McLeish's Rangers, pursuing their 50th league title. The world's greatest derby teams had spent an entire season reaching this point and Celtic had taken the nation to the very brink of European glory. In an era when our game endures unparalleled criticism, this was the year to make you feel a whole lot better. Scotland's Football Year of 2003 - Judgement Day.
In 1971, 66 football fans died in one of Britain's most tragic sporting events ever, the disaster at Ibrox. But under the new management team of Willie Waddell and Jock Wallace, Rangers were to overcome massive odds which ended with them lifting aloft the European Cup Winners' Cup. This is Scotland's Football Year of 1972 - a journey from tragedy to triumph.
