On this day in 1894, Rangers beat Celtic 3-1 in the Scottish Cup final in what was the first Old Firm tie in the final of the competition.
The two Glasgow giants had met once in the league that season with Rangers emerging 5-0 winners and John Barker scoring a hat-trick. Barker struck again in the Cup final while Hugh McCreadie and John McPherson added two more to give Rangers a comfortable 3-1 victory over their rivals. This was Rangers’ first taste of success in the Scottish Cup.
However, Celtic got their revenge a week later by winning 3-2 in the league and going on to lift the league title at the end of the season.
