КОММЕНТАРИИ: The second leg back on Tyneside took place 4 days after the Newcastle’s last league game of the season, and again was a very tough and tight affair standing at 0-0 at half time. Over 59,000 fans had crammed into St.James’ Park and the entire Gallowgate End (it was used by away fans in those days) was overflowing with an estimated 22,000 thousands Rangers fans. The city had been a sea of Blue and White, with most Rangers fans drinking in the bars and on the streets all day. At the start of second half the deadlock was finally broken by Newcastle when Jim Scott blasted a brilliant cross-shot into the roof of the net from close range. On 77 minutes a Jackie Sinclair goal finished off Rangers. Ollie Burton's free-kick was glanced to Sinclair by Wyn Davies, and Sinclair gleefully slotted the ball into the back of the net. Following the goal the Gallowgate End erupted into a riot as Rangers fans spilled onto the pitch in an obvious attempt to get the game abandoned. The referee was forced to take the players off the pitch for 17 minutes to allow the police to restore order and clear the bottles from the pitch. Newcastle then held on for the final minutes playing the game with a wall of police in front of the Gallowgate End, but sadly the trouble didn't end there, as the Rangers fans went on the rampage in the city centre after the match smashing shop windows, burning cars and fighting with the police. |
