On this day in 1957, Celtic beat Rangers 7-1 in the Scottish League Cup final. The score line still remains as the biggest margin of victory in an Old Firm derby.
This humiliating defeat at the hands of their greatest rival is also Rangers’ record defeat in a game and the biggest score line in a major British cup final. Tensions were high prior to the game as this was the first League Cup final meeting between Celtic and Rangers. The Hoops were the defending champions while the Light Blues were the reigning Scottish top flight winners.
