Listen, we’re all brothers and sisters, God bless them all. 💚☘️💙
🙌🙌
You are spot on ❤️✌️
Well said mate 💙💚
Good on yees but still I don’t like Celtic
@@Cubby-qp1dm at the end of the day, they’re simply _wrong_ 😐
I’m a Celtic man, but my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the poor souls who lost their lives that day. Can’t imagine what you must have went through
Celtic Fans lost their lives too mate, it affected us all!!
I'm a Celtic fan but this movie brought a tear to my eye. I'd like to send love & regards to everyone affected by this terrible tragedy. You're in my thoughts. You'll never walk alone 💚 xxx
True supporter of football , thanks, Rangers fan
As a Blue Nose I thank you 👍👍
Well said.
@Jack Daniel oh I can't even begin to imagine how horrific it must be to have witnessed it first hand. I'm a Liverpool fan as well as a Celtic fan & Hillsborough looms large in our minds & hearts even now. I have friends who were irreversibly affected by that particular tragedy & this one here was equally devastating. My thoughts are firmly with every single person who has to carry this incident with them, whether through memory or loss, no matter what colours they wear. We're all just football fans at the end of the day. Best wishes 💚
@@nikkinathandarling416 a tragedy like this and others goes beyond tribalism. All the best to you.
Being a Liverpool supporter I am actually embarrassed to say never knew about this tragic event . what a sad sad story. RIP to all that lost their lives that day and everyone effected by this tragedy . since Stevie G became Rangers manager I have learnt so much about Rangers . my father was Scottish and my mother English ..so now I follow Liverpool and Rangers. YNWA
Mark Clark Respect 🇬🇧🏴❤️🤍💙
It is our Hillsborough Lad. Glad you are looking at our history, as Liverpool have always been my English club. Bill Shankly was born in Glenbuck not far from me in Ayrshire. We are just the same type of hard working-class people and their love for a team that brings them hope in the darkness of life. All the Best for the New Year, and yes YWNA 🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧
@@cryptomime1429
All the best to you my friend. great club. Rooting for Rangers tomorrow
@@markclark6005 Top man, Mark, thanks so much for your kind words mate👍. YNWA, WATP ♥️💙
It happened at a time when people didn't really talk about things as It was the older generations way of dealing with grief was to do things with respect and privacy for the families of the loved ones and in all honesty really never knew how to then as children we just knew and took our lead from the older people not to say anything as It was probably out of hurt and respect 🇬🇧🥁🇬🇧but It never left us really as this we are all affected by this loss and wouldn't be right to forget the families and friends of the people who lost loved ones and those who are longer with us 66 lost souls and half of them under 20 years old the youngest being 9 years old I believe God bless them RIP ❤️🙏.
My grandfather was there, wasn’t caught up in the crush but remembered scenes.
RIP to the fallen and affected.
We are the people, forever and always 🇬🇧💙🤍❤️
RIP from a Celtic fan never forget
Thanks mate🙏

@Lajos Vsk what do you mean
Anderson Jack ignore him Jack ✌️and stay safe Pal
Ian, I was at the game with my friend Eddie Barr. I now live in Bermuda where I have lived since 1st March 1971. But at the game we were on the terracing just below stairway 13. When jimmy Johnstone scored what we all thought was the winner my pal Eddie turned to me and said lets go.
I said just hand on a bit and I will finish off this can of lager. So in that minute we go up the park and score an equalising gop oal and we start celebrating for another few minutes before making our way to exit 13. At the top there is a huge crush of people with men saying "Stay back, stay back". We both climbed the wooden fence adjacent to the exit and scrambled down the grass bank. Scrambling down the bank I saw a young boy/youth lying there, is face was blue and deathly. All these years I have wondered if that youth/boy was alive or dead. I hope Ian it was you.
No fan should ever go to a game and not come home..from a Celtic fan that was such a tragedy and sad loss to the rangers family.
Respect 😔
Respect from a rangers fan . Cheers my friend
Anyone who has experienced being crushed in a crowd understands what a nightmare scenario it is. You have no control. My heart goes out to everyone who died.💙
Frightening.
The Notting Hill Carnival is a crush disaster waiting to happen, I stopped going years ago, like you say being crushed in a crowd is a nightmare, last time I went it took around 2 hours to move 25 metres, every time me and my girlfriend would move a couple of metres or so (after a lot of effort) we'd find ourselves moved 3 metres in some other direction, we were just trying to get to the nearest side street to get out of the crush, basically we were just carried around - like everyone else - by the mass of people, these surges weren't limited to just one street or area, there were several places where you'd find yourself with no way out, blocked in all directions . . . throw in a little violence and a few people fainting on a blazing hot day and really was a nightmare . . . over the years it just got worse, and from what people tell me nothing has really changed - apparently the 2016 carnival _twice(!)_ came very close to a Hillsborough crush . . . it really is a disaster waiting to happen, I really won't be surprised to read a headline in the next few years, something to the effect of "72 killed in carnival crush" : (
Coiln stein killing machine 😂😂😂😂🐶
RIP. I was at Hillsborough with Forest.
Celtic supporter, To go and watch your team and have a great day win or lose but never return home is unimaginable, may all those poor souls have eternal peace.
What a heartfelt documentary on the tragic loss of 66 people who sadly lost their lives on the 2nd of January 1971 at Ibrox on stairway 13.
My Father was involved in the crush on stairway 13 that day, though he was fortunate to survive that tragedy but developed a nervous disorder due to the experience he went through.
He used to leave 1 minute before the end of a match to avoid crowds and catch the subway home.
He told me the events of what happened that day when i was a lad...
"We were so tightly packed together walking down the stairway when we heard an almighty roar from the Stadium, people in front of us were trying to find out what the score was as others continued piling down, my feet were completely lifted off the ground and i was pushed back up the stairway while others were on their way down. I thought it was the end for me."
My Gran and Aunt were listening to the events unfold on the radio and knew that my Dad was at the game. They were so distraught not knowing what had happened, or if my Dad involved in the incident or not.
Hours later after my Dad was released from hospital he returned home to find my Gran and Aunt in shock and teary eyed, but ultimately relieved to see him alive.
My Father was never the same after that day, and he always avoided crowds till the end of his days.

You're very welcome.
It's important to remember those who never came home....and those who did.

@@jamesaitchison9478
Absolutely!
My very best wishes! X
@@paigeleigh2554
Thank you, my best to you as well.
Am from grimsby and whenever we went to a grimsby game or to ibrox with my dad we used to wait at the end until all the crowd dispersed so we dont create a disaster its scary stuff
May every single one of them RIP they are not gone they will always be with you.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
After researching Hillsborough, I came across this fatal day.
God bless!
From a tim you will never walk alone god bless
Goosebumps and tears, lest we forget
R.I.P a very sad day that reminds us it’s only a game ❤️🤍💙
R. I.P a very sad day for all rangers fans ❤️💙
TO ALL MY BROTHERS THAT NEVER CAME HOME RIP ❤️🤍💙☮️🙏🏻 ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM.
I was born 9 days after the disaster. My dad & his older brother used to go to all the games they could afford to, the Viewpark Loyal supporters club used stairwell 13 back then. They couldn't afford to go to this game because of the new wee boy. Very lucky.
To our absent friends and family ...
Rest easy , we shall remember them .
No we wont
Heartbreaking. RIP the 66
Rangers and Celtic supporters have more in common than they have differences ❤💙💚💛
In lieu of fans being there tomorrow this was a really good way to bring attention to and remember what happened 50 years ago. Very poignant reminder to the fragility of life.
RIP ALL THOSE FANS IN THE ACEDENT
Heartbreaking , never forget 66
Gone but never forgotten 💙🇬🇧
We will always remember our brothers and sisters
The tragic thing is that it happened a few years earlier when Jim Baxter scored a last minute equaliser the crowd at the bottom stopped and it caused havoc. I came down that stairway my feet no where near the ground, I remember adults shouting at us to keep our arms up, that was the last time I used that exit. never forgotten RIP 66
I'm a Forest fan I was at Hillsborough on that awful day us Forest fans were safe we were on the other side but it soon became obvious to us that the Liverpool guys were in serious trouble so I salute the 96 departed Of course I'd heard of the Ibrox tragedy I was only 3 in 71 but I've seen people talk about it and read about it so the same goes rest in peace all of you and we will all be together again one day from David Andrews
You can hear the forest fans singing "you Scouse bastrds" as the fans spill on to the pitch
I'm so sorry you had to see and hear that. Must have been awful. Kenny Daliesh was at the 1971 ibrox disaster as well as Hillsborough, he was playing for Celtic at the time. Can't believe the poor guy gad to see that kind of tragedy twice
R.i.P to all those lost and to your families 🙏
Love from Tottenham Hotspur 💙
I was there and knew something had happened but we had to get back to the Cowie supporters bus or be left in Glasgow. When we got back to Bannockburn lots of parents were there and that’s when we found out how bad it was. By some miracle no one on our bus was injured but one guy Derek Rolston was missing but he just had missed the bus.
It was incredible of the team to (try to) attend every funeral. What a sign of support to the families.
Remembering absent friends 💙
RIP . Such a sad day 2nd January 1971.. From a Hearts supporter.
RIP ❤️
From a lifelong celtic fan !
I'm so sorry this ever happened, and I know it was the anniversary of late may all the victims rest in peace , and may their families be prayed for ❤
Being from Manchester I’ve never heard about this and only found this documentary after watching a documentary about Heysel. No fan should ever go to a football game and never come home. RIP to the 66
Rest In Peace 66
Respect to everybody involved in such a tragedy
Glad to see Rangers put this out after BBC Scotland's hatchet job the other week.... Hope we do those puddle drinkers the morn!
Was at the game with the eddlewood supporters club we just got of the staircase so Rip to all fellow supporters, I've still got the single record which was brought out for funds, the gers always in my heart and for the people who lost their lives.
RIP NEVER FORGOTTEN
Gone but never forgotten RIP, Sad sad day ,
Celebration day😋
what a TRULY POWERFUL & MOVING SONG!!!
God bless them this league title you have won is for them, gbnf💚
This documentary really brings home how sad this was. I only heard of this before, I was born in 1984, once I stopped watching wrestling and Rangers were always the club I was going to follow from '94 onwards I would never for the life of me have understood to the same extent as those who lived then. This documentary is a touching tribute and I had no idea that the stadium we proudly have today is a symbol of that and makes me look at Ibrox in a different light now. I understood it was a tragic event, very sad. Fantastic documentary, cannot wait to tour the new museum that'll get built.
My heart goes out to each and everyone who lost families so so sad and also the fans that passed away. My brother always went to 13 to go home but looked over to c something was going on. Sat to say lost him now hearts are still broken.xxxx love.gina from Scotland. My brother was only 37yrs old A detective sergeant. Still miss him and also so so sad for ibrox and Hillsbough love to all x.
@@ginadick5373 Yeah, it's a very sad tragic event in our history, I certainly understood it was bad, but there's something a lot more touching about this documentary because you're actually getting information of the event with bodies being taken into Ibrox laid out where they could, the silence as well from people going back on the train also illustrates this, folk wouldn't know what to say and getting to hear how on their way home they'd then hear the bodies count up, first 8 and then finally 66.
These little details I knew nothing about and I wouldn't be surprised if the new museum will be packed with this sort of stuff which I cannot wait to see because there'll be a lot of stuff I won't know before my time that gives the bigger story of this amazing club.
Sorry to hear about that regarding your brother, indeed, it's a heartbreaking thing that, I think now when I look at the stadium it's more than just some sort of upgrade, it's actually a tribute, a meaning, that has much of a story behind it. God bless all of them and your brother. xx
A horrible day in Rangers history, never forgotten, and hopefully never repeated. The agony for those lost is unimaginable. I've experienced the helplessness of being in a similar situation at Hampden park terracing in the 1969 Scottish cup Final, although no fatalities because we were forced to rush out on to the track to stop being crushed. Thank God they got rid of terracings at football grounds.
R.I.P. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
My father never attended ibrox again till it was all seated and took me to my 1st game.. v Liverpool at the opening of the govan stand
GBT66
Same with my Dad,he was working that night and went for a few pints after the game.Never knew a thing about until he got to his work.First game back was with me when they built the Copland Rd stand.I was only 1 month old when the disaster happened.
I’ve yet to see another stadium like this. It’s absolutely beautiful architecture 💙
RIP 66
Always in our thoughts. Aye Ready. RIP
This is one of the reasons I wait until final whistle when leaving a football match. RIP
As a Celtic fan, it's a damn shame that 66 fans didn't return home. One of the biggest football tragedies in history.
To the 66 who passed away on that sad day we will never forget you. God Bless you all Absent Friends 🇬🇧💙
This is heartbreaking Rip to the 66 :( no one should go to a football match and never return.
Please boys do them proud tomorrow 💙
My grandpa was at the game. The stand directly across from him was where it was. He was very lucky
My grandad survived this and just celebrated his 50th anniversary with my gran, sadly he lost his best friend in the disaster ❤️
Celtic fan, wish your Granda all the best.
my grandpa got out a few minutes before the intial crushing and wish your grandad all the best
Rest in Peace my Absent Friends you will always be remembered 🏴🏴🏴
Won’t be any supporters obviously tomorrow but I can imagine the 66 will have the best seat in the house to see their team make a big statement.. 55 incoming RIP 🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧
My dad was there that day god bless all who died my dad is with them now 🔴⚪️🔵
My father survived by the skin off his teeth Billy Robertson.His story is in the daily record and Glasgow live.Unfortunately his best friend in the world John James McGovern(govs)sadly perished.We will never ever forget the 66 that died that day.🔴⚪️🔵
RIP to Govs 💚 I'm sorry your father lost his greatest friend that day but glad your father made it through the chaos ❤
The pain will never leave are memories the hurt the people that lost there life the survivors and every one involved it's something you never want to ever see , watching this makes me so sad and only thing to help is by winning titles 💙
Anyone who’s ever been at a match, game, concert, gig, event, …….even being in a huge crowd side by side with others can be frightening even when it gets a little out of hand. I remember being at a Megadeth gig, 100s on the floor, as soon as the gig started everyone started to surge forward, myself being near the front. Some young girl about 5ft nothing fell and was being stood on. Thankfully me and a few others got her up, but even in that moment, the utter fear in that girls eyes, and the fear on my own mind was terrible. I can’t even imagine being in that situation, but in the magnitude of Ibrox or Hillsborough, the sheer terror of these people being crushed like that. All I can say is I hope it was quick. Rest well to all the souls who lost their lives that day and any other. X
Dear UtK, you very probably saved that girl’s life .
Rest in peace do them proud tomorrow 🙁💙💙🇬🇧
RIP 66 Rangers fans.... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Gone But Never Forgotten. 2 January 1971 is a black day for all Rangers' fans all over the world. We never forget the innocent victims. Nicholas from Greece and Rangers' fan since 2003 ☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹
RIP to every single person and family involved...may yous all sleep easy 💙🔴⚪️🔵🙏

Thought s and prayers with all the families of the poor victims who sadly died that day
Was in Glasgow that night at dancehall ambulances police everywhere foggy damp terrible night RIP all. knew wee boy aged 13 who died in this crush his family never got over this tragedy.
Very sad we will always remember and never forget ,watched with tears raining from my eyes ! Terrible tragedy 😪 Liverpool we stand together in remembering our fallen fans and shall never forget , sleep well sleep safe rest in peace my friends 💙❤💙❤💙
It's was the first time ever, that as a 16 year old, I was glad we couldn't get tickets to a game. So sad! I watch this video with tears in my eyes at the memory. God Bless and RIP.
Im a celtic fan but this breaks my heart. So sad. These hard working men looking forward to the game and not coming home. Tragic. I didn't even know about the 1902 tragedy
Ibrox, Glasgow - 1902 - 25 deaths
Burnden Park, Bolton -1946 - 33 deaths
Ibrox, Glasgow - 1971 - 66 deaths
Valley Parade, Bradford - 1985 - 56 deaths
Hillsborough, Sheffield - 1989 - 96 deaths
Britain has had more than it's share of football tragedies
Rest in peace. 🔴⚪️🔵
RIP 💙
Rest easy to the 66 that sadly never made it home🙏 cmon rangers this is our year bring home the 55 for the fallen. We shall remember them. LEST WE FORGET ❤️⚪️💙🇬🇧🏴
55 FOR THE 66"
THE 66 ALWAYS REMEMBERED BY THE GREATEST CLUB AND THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD. W.A.T.P
I can't get over the picture of the staircase with the mangled handrails, it's absolutely gutwrenching and really shows you just how much force a huge mass of people can exert
R.I.P
Lest we forget x
Sad day 🇬🇧🏴❤️🤍💙
Always remembered 🇬🇧
RIP 66...
Rip 🔴⚪️🔵
RIP Remember the 66 WATP
This is a tragedy that is too easily forgotten. As a Pompey fan, I say this should be remembered so it can't be repeated. No one should go to a football match and not return.
Rest in peace 66 💙 forever in our hearts
What a tragic event and this documentary was just done so well and so wonderfully in memory of the 66 who sadly passed away on that fateful day...gone but most certainly not forgotten r.i.p and respect to the victims the families and rangers f.c
My dad left section 13 two minutes before the crush -let's win tomorrow for them
Echoing another comment here, I’m so sad to say as a big football fan I’d never heard of this tragedy as in my defence, I wasn’t born then. But no one should ever go to a football match and not come home. Love and respect, from a Palace fan ❤️💙
Always Remembered 💙
God Bless the 66. Heartbreaking to watch this 😥
To the 66 of you... RIP ❤️🤍💙🔴⚪🔵 you will always be remembered 😔😩😫😣😖😞
Thank goodness for the safe modern stadia...the old hampden, old Ibrox, old Celtic park were disasters waiting to happen, none of them designed with safety in mind...surprised there weren't more tragedies through the decades...I don't miss the Old stadia at all, many times I recall being in huge crowds trying to leave and feeling stuck in a vice...
RIP 66💙 today will be for them🔴⚪️🔵
