Lightning couldn’t possible strike twice, could it?

Well if their 2-0 defeat was bad on this day in 1991 Celtic want one further by thrashing the Govan mob by 3 goals to nil.

After the multiple dismissals the week before Not The View gave out red cards to The Celtic supporters before this game and Nisbet duly obliged by getting himself sent off and leaving the pitch to a sea of aforementioned red cards from the crowd!
