35 years on, the former Rangers hero says it's proof Philippe Clement and his troops can upset the odds at the national stadium.
Now 35 years on, the former Rangers hero says it’s proof Philippe Clement’s team can upset the odds and win the trophy at the National Stadium. Brown is still irked at being the unfortunate victim of the officials' blunder that led to his team’s Final loss to Celtic. On that May day three-and-a-half decades ago, Brown was part of Graeme Souness ’ Hampden side looking to seal a Treble.
“To be fair to Roy, he was right at the ball and the referee allowed him to take it. The thing about it was that we’d done a Double . To this day, it still grates with me that we lost that. I’ve still got a bitter feeling about it. “The 3-1 game at Celtic Park, honestly within half an hour it was looking like it could be a five or six no problem. How we got away with a 3-1, I don’t know. Even in that 5-1 game, we never enjoyed the 90 minutes until the final whistle went because anything can happen in these games.
