A few months earlier Scotland beat Bulgaria in Sofia,resulting in Ireland qualifying for the Euros first time ever! Our eternal greatfulness Scotland!!
Gary Mackay of Hearts scored the goal (his first and only for Scotland iirc) and was sent a case of Irish whiskey by Charlton!
@@GavinSutherland and he's a die-hard Hearts supporter as well. 😄
Gary mckay
Gary Mackay scores and never plays for Scotland again...typical
Bulgaria ironically did Scotland the same favour 4 years later. Their equaliser against Romania sent Scotland to euro 1992.
The old Hampden was a magnificent stadium and holds all the European and British attendance records. I remind people of that when they sneer at our game.
It angers me when Wales stadium was built for cheaper than the Hampden renovations has nearly twice the capacity and a retractable roof, whereas our new stadium was more than halved in capacity.
Makes me wonder where the money went because it was not towards Hampden.
Big deal
It’s still the same Hampden, they just upgraded the stands and reduced capacity.
Fucking brilliant. Those were the days. When i was but a boy in late 80s results like this were par for the course.
Very true mate.
I was at this match . I remember the evening well . Along with four friends , we stood in the old Rangers end - it was jam packed . It was a hellish wet night ; relentless rain before and throughout the match , which helped Scotland and hindered France . The fans were ecstatic at our well deserved victory .
sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Dustin Franco instablaster :)
@Jabari Moshe i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Wish Scotland could make a return to their former days of grittiness.
We're doing no to bad noo eh.
This was the last stage of Scottish football greatness.. .from then on, its been a shameful path
We'd a blast under Smith and McLeish '04- '07. After that, i threw myself off a cliff : (
Yer not wrong mate
France had just been to back to back World Cup semi finals and here and Scotland dumping them out of Italia 90. But then when you think about the amount of great players Scotland had at their disposal, yet never got past the group stages.
No, France had lost a lot of their key players from those World Cups. They didn't qualify for Euro 88 and were crap in 1992. They were in the wilderness for about 12 years post Mexico 86. That's not to take anything away from Scotland as they were a good side but helped here by the shocking state of the pitch and France being a shadow of their former selves.
I actually don't remember making this comment. It's a ball on grass, with 22 guys swinging their boots and gloves at it. As much as I did enjoy playing this game. I also despise it, due to the fact that I can't even watch it any more, without going to an establishment that promotes the consumption of alcohol in public. Don't bother replying please.
This was a good Scotland team for sure. Qualified for Italia 90 and then Euro 92, when the Euro's really were just for the elite with only 8 teams at the finals. But then I remember the outcry over the defeat to Costa Rica in the opening game at Italia 90, looking back, the Scottish fans didn't realise what they had.
still $hite though - played 6 games in those 2 tourneys - 1 win v sweden , 1 win v CIS - was over by then = euro 96 1 win v Swiss - not enough though ; 74 - 1 win v a team who didn't know the rules / 82 1 win v team whos national sport is rugby / 86 couldn't scored v 10 men in 86 mins / 98 a draw v international version of Wimbledon - should I go on ?
@@IndieVolken What do you expect from a country with a tiny population compared to the top nations, Remember Scotland produced the first club from the Uk to win the European Cup and when the English clubs started winning European trophies their best players and managers were usually Scottish.
Check the populations of Croatia and Uruguay.
@@december2364 what’s your point, yes these small countries did well but I don’t think Croatia have had a club win any European trophies like we have in Scotland. And look at England, they haven’t won a thing for 60 years and that was on home soil. Scotland outplayed the English World Cup winning side at Wembley and proved that we were the best team in the world at the time 🏴
@@IndieVolken I agree. I do think though it has been a mix of bottling it (certainly vs Costa Rica in 1990) and bad luck (penalty miss v England in 1996).
Hampden was still amazing at that point.
The pitch looks terrible
Playing Mccoist and Johnston up front v France. Mcclair there too. We were spoilt for strikers back then
McAvennie barely got a look in either.
Awe, they had such a SQUAD during 80's + 90's tbf. ❤'d 'em🔥
Alex Ferguson on co-commentary. Maybe he did more of this pre-1990, but I can't remember him doing that since then.
@Allan he sounded pissed when he was co commentating
@@09weenic probably was the whiskey arse lol
And the thing is........this result was not regatded as a shock in any way.
what a game, scotland were superb, best i ever saw them playing, well deserved win on a very wet night.
Scotland were fired up this night, Mo was in such a rich vein of formula aswell
Was at this game as well but in the Celtic end and as you say it was pissing down the funny thing was at the end of the game when we were leaving we were only soaked down to our shoulders, that how tightly packed it was. And what a team .
Super Maurice Johnston⚽⚽👍👍
Scotland and Mo Johnston were OUTSTANDING THAT NIGHT ❤️

GRANDES AUSENTES DE ITALIA 90
Great teams. England should have won it too. Que sera sera!
I recall that the pipe band was still playing when the teams came back out for the second half. You could actually see the colour drain from the French faces .....
Pretty fast the passing scottish plyrs made.they have to be quick against a skillful team.mcstay technically good
The days when we could see off France and no one was in the least bit surprised!
Maurice Johnston - That was the last time I saw a Scotland player have such a run in the qualifiers. Goals and general play.
Second thoughts, maybe McFadden in 2006/2007.
Best atmosphere at any match I went to McLeish had papin in his back pocket all night
I wish Scotland was this good today
Apart from trying to break his leg in the first minute, Luc Sonor apparently tried to wind up Ally McCoist in Pidgin English. The conversation supposedly went like this.
Sonor - "You no good player"
McCoist - "Me no good player, but me 2-0 up"
Sonor - "You bad at football"
McCoist - "Me bad at football. but me go to world cup. You want tickets?"
Scotland were unlucky in 1990 against Brazil last minute to concede very frustrating when you see them beating France here shame we couldn't finish it off
Matthew Hilton You must be mistaken. Scotland didn't play vs Brazil in Italy90. Actually, Scotland didn't make it to Italy90. Scotland vs Brazil was in France 98
It was Uruguay who scored in injury time to stop Scotland finishing as one of the best 3rd place teams in the Group stage and go through. Uruguay did not play Scotland but that goal put them through as one of the best 3rd placed teams and eliminated Scotland
BTW - you are WRONG !! Scotland DID PLAY BRAZIL in the 1990 World Cup group stage and they lost 1 - 0 to an 81st minute goal - but Scotland still would have gone through to the 2nd round as a 3rd place team if Uruguay had not scored an injury time winner against South Korea in their final group game in a different group
T Donovan Yes you are right. I realized I was wrong just after my comment. Scotland was in the group of Brazil , Costa Rica and Sweden
T Donovan Yes you are right. I realized I was wrong just after my comment. Scotland was in the group of Brazil , Costa Rica and Sweden
Was in the north enclosure that night, soaked and celebrated
the north terrace was an open terrace not enclosed. the rangers end was the only roofed terrace in 1989 and only under the main stand was called the enclosure.
Good day. Like and thanks from me. Baku city
Yo imaginándome si Francia hubiera pasado al mundial del 90 se hubiera enfrentado a 🇧🇷🇸🇪🇨🇷
How did France played with 11 after the first tackle???
That is a straight red mate!!!
It was not in the 80s.
In todays snowflake football yeah. Back then it was played more physically and the players just got on with it like men
Was this the match where the Daily Record artist McCormick ( spell?), did a caricature of Aitken saying "Stuff the Auld Alliance"? Something like that.
Can we all PLEASE get back to the good old days when we actually beat ppl quite often ffs
Best game I ever attended
Anytime a team eliminated Brazil they struggled in the following world cup .1982 Italy 1986 France 1990 Argentina 2014 Germany
I was at that game and what a game it was too
What a player Mo Johnston was but then with players like McCoist, McLeish, Gough, Bett, McStay, how could they not but win…?
Did this happen in another universe?
Certainly feels like it.
Ally and mo up front, not a bad front two
What year was it that Mo got kicked out of the World Cup?
aye to mo
@@KenCostlow Wasn't that Willie Johnston in '78 ?
@@johnnyoranges You're right. My bad.
@@KenCostlow Cheers. Both Gers' men, but there have been a lot of Johnstons in Scottish football - Jimmy, Derek etc.
*S C O T L A N D!*
they did give us a pasting in the return game in Paris as did Yugoslavia in Zagreb.
Yes and they only scrapped past Cyprus home and away and then lost to Costa Rica in the finals
@@andyhardie649 I remember a stale classroom at Langside college while listening to the Cyprus away game and Gough getting the 96th or more minute winner. These were the days when results went in our favour unlike now when we can beat France home and away but lose to Georgia or lose last minute goals to Poland or England and now worry about beating Israel then Norway or 1/6th of Yugoslavia to qualify.
Remember that Gough goal. Pure bricking it before he put it in.
French keeper pulled off a Grobbelaar, on that second one.
That was Joel Bats, I believe.
It did look a bit suspect.
Yes, Joel "Careless Hands" Bats. He did the same mistake in the semi finals at world cup 86
That pitch is shocking for a professional match and the floodlights look like they're being powered by disposable batteries. Such was 80's football 😂 France had lost a lot of their key players from recent World Cups. They didn't qualify for Euro 88 and were crap in 1992. They were in the wilderness for about 12 years post Mexico 86. That's not to take anything away from Scotland as they were a good side but helped here by the shocking state of the pitch and France being a shadow of their former selves.
commentary back then used to put you to sleep
I think the way for scottish national team to have world class players again and get out the group would be If the SFA and FA come together and get scottish clubs to play against english Teams it would bring lots of revenue and interest but sadly the SFA wouldn't want to do this
The commentator is still going strong to this day but I cant stand how he ends almost every sentence
explain plse
WAS AT THIS ONE GOT PISSED(BY RAIN NOT PEOPLE )UPON ALSO GOT PISSED BEFORE THE GAME ONE OF SCOTLANDS BEST THEY COME FAR AND FEW BUT WE STUFFED THE FRENCH THAT NIGHT
I wonder what the attendance was.
65,204.
Bye Bye France for the World Cup 1990 !
Hello world cups 1998 & 2018 :)
yep, though years for france between 1986 and 1996.
Remenber. France eliminated 1 of the round of 32 in world cup 2022.
@@jeanpierretolentino1763 You mean 2002 right?
BOTTIN François no buddy. I said 2022.
Did France have any of their great 80s players that day?
no, there was only young papin, cantona and very poor player around them. 86-89 is one of the lowest in france national team history
Joel Bats was still the goalkeeper from France here. But he was at the end of his career here. Joel Bats, the great goalkeeper from 1986 World Cup, was over at that time ! You can see a poor performance from Joel Bats in this match against Scotland ! Manuel Amoros is still playing with France in 1990, he was also in the french team in World Cup 1986.
Bats, Amoros, Battiston n young Papin! It’s was their transition years.
Very old footage
It’s a different French team from today’s French team, never seen so many Africans playing for France now.
They are french, you dickhead !
The black players do better in the French football team I think.....Togana, Henry, Viera, Desailly , Mbappe and so on
@@fatbast3055 they’re not ethnically french, in another 20 years all the European teams will have no European players
Mmmmm. No
@@theheavylightshovel7399
Why? Portugal plays with 3 Angolan or Cap verdian players since 1960.
In those days it was Coluna and Eusebio. It was allways the same.
And France plays with 50 percent afro France since 2002. Only output was 2018. France allways were beating the multi ethnic multi colored Brazilians. Be it in the 80ies when they looked European and be it the 2000s when they looked more African. Nothing has changed. Brazil never won against French in a tournament since 58. So it makes no difference who is playing for france
This was before Boris Johnston left Scotland for English politics
Amistoso 2002.
Yesss Scotland have just qualified so to get knocked out of the 1st round !!
Fuck up you Morris dancing tosser 🏴
No they got through the group stage but were then knocked out losing 1-0 to Brazil.
Luc Sonor le boucher (comme d'hab !) = Luc Sonor the butcher :))) !!!
French Goalkepper bad
FCK sakes Sir Furious was on the Rid wine that night 🤤
They chose to beat bigs and bigs had become bugs
M.M : all right, but Scotland never pass through a groupe stage on WC. Not a single one (France 3 semi finals, 2 finals, and 3 Euro finals...) bye bye
kirat kirat are you French
kirat kirat what had France won up to that point except one euro trophy on home soil gtfoh
At least they had won something....and have since won more.
soullimbo france=cheating cunts 😉
Toxic mix up = Brainless oxygen thief ;)
The Franks Team been exit, possibly because they'd been Pure Franks
Franks allways beat multi colored Brazil in the 80ies.
Fernández, Bravo, Martini do not sound French
Was in the celtic end at this game pishin doon way rain but what a fantastic night it was.
