Two great teams having a right go in the last ever real competitive season in scottish fitba. The early to mid 80's Scottish Premier league was one of the most competitive in europe. This was Souness'es first season at ibrox and it more or less died a death for any team outside the big two after this season. A real shame.
I was at this game, as a United fan, it was one of the best games I was ever at. Hearts played brilliantly for most of the game, and could easily have been four up. But then United got their passing game going, and turned it all round in the last few minutes. What a goal from Ferguson, he was as sharp as a tack.
Glad you enjoyed it guys. I don't support either team but even at the time I knew a classic game when I saw it! The best Hearts team for 30 years against one of the best United teams ever, destined for the UEFA cup final.
5 teams in these days who were potential title winners. Aberdeen and Dundee United always in the mix throughout the 80s, Hearts becoming a force from 85/86 when she should have won the title. Even in the 70s, Aberdeen and Hibs were nearly always in the mix, despite never winning it both could have won at least one title. But since the mid 90s no one has really challenged the Old Firm, though Aberdeen were in the mix until late on last season. Hopefully next season will see a competitive league again, but back in the 70s and 80s the league was certainly competitive and had some quality teams other than the Old Firm, as this video shows.
I was at the game and the finish was sensational. Those of us supporting United couldn’t stop smiling all the way home. How I miss those days!

What team do you support
I'm a Celtic man.
+Andy Murdoch oh come on stop stealing our players!
Sorry about that. You can have Ciftci back if you like.
+Andy Murdoch yeah that should save us
I was at that game. Both teams were outstanding, and probably either would walk the premier in today's terms.
Need more classic Scottish football online.

Brilliant video. excellent match that was. thanks for uploading it Andy.
I was at this game with my dad, I knew we were gonna win, just felt it, I met Henry Smith years later and had to bring up the Ferguson goal 😂😂
My favourite game ever.
First time watching that. What a cracker of a game. Would have loved to have been at Tannadice for that one!!
