There were a series of wholehearted challenges leading up to the Simpson challenge. No one knew the severity of the consequences of the challenge at the time and the media commentators certainly were not "up in arms" with their comments when it was made. The tackle had bad consequences for Mr Durrant, certainly, but arguably affected Mr Simpson to a greater degree with the adverse Glasgow media coverage! I was there at the game, by the way, and the atmosphere was vicious with a particular edge in that Mr Couper, appearing in a blue shirt, and, as I recall, scoring a 30 years screamer!! Happy Days

On a different note, two scorers scoring against their former clubs.

Even though the game was more physical back then I can't believe Simpson wasn't sent off. If that was Souness that made that "tackle" he would have been sent off no doubt. He would've been banned for weeks too.

Both teams were fouling like scumbags by the looks of it. The ref let the game get way out of hand. Scumbag tackle to make tho on a fellow pro.

This match was an early indication of diving creeping into the British game. Shameful.

The only team in Scotland who would prefer Celtic over Rangers... not even Hibs or Dundee Utd would... I've even seen plenty of Union Jacks coloured in green at Easter Road, I spoke to many a Dundeonian and they'd always tell me
