The Day Football Changed Forever: The 1980 Old Firm Riot

May 10, 1980. The Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers was supposed to be the highlight of the season. Instead, it descended into the worst riot in British football history.

What began as a celebration spiraled into an hour of absolute carnage, with fences torn down and police forced to charge the crowd on horseback.
