Celtic v Rangers - Champagne Charlie's Derby Debut 

I was at this match. The Celts dominated throughout. At half time I said "it is only a matter of time". A wise older fan sitting in front of me responded that he had seen this too often and a 0-1 loss was still possible. Charlie Bhoy did the business in the end!

Big Roy Aitken.. Magic 🍀🇮🇪🍀

Impressive speed shown by big Roy Aitken,what a goal!

Almost 42 years now. I was in my 20s back then. Way too fucking long lol I'll never forget this match. My 2 uncles and their friends, bunch of lads the same age, late 30s. I have a pronounced West London accent and we were all Celtic Bhoys. Great game. Amazing atmosphere. It was truly electric! Must admit, the derby is a bit tamer these days. Still, thanks for reviving a very happy memory. Hail Hail 🇨🇮

When big Roy went on his mad runs forward he was dangerous lol

Aitken done a belter of a goal. Good clean attacking play.

Nearly all Scottish teams, no shirt sponsor, fans mostly standing, & all games played on a Saturday (don't f with the Pools), WTF went wrong!

Charlie Nic reminds me of singer Bono

Those were happy days in so many, many ways !!!!

5.35 Aitkens one-two with Jackson is hilarious

Great tough tackling football, no diving, or cheating, fantastic commitment. Ynwa.

Who needs a striking partner when you can have a one-two with the opposition's defender 3rd goal.

Davie Provan oozed class in those days.

what a game and a the start of charlie nicholas a one off player great players dont come round that often

Chalmers and McNeill RIP

Charlie made his OF debut against Rangers in a 3-0 defeat at Ibrox (Nov 1980)

I'm a Hibs fan, but I have t say that Charlie Nicholas was one of the finest talents Scotland has poduced in the last 40 years. A pitiful amount of inernational caps to show for it. He picked the wrong club to sign for when he went to Arsenal.

Big Roy's hun taunting celebration... Lol

What a game!

fantastic ..well done.

Charlie Nick had a brilliant start to his career and could have been he new "King Kenny." Unfortunately, the lure of the big money and the wrong choice of English club ruined a great talent.

The defending on that second goal was a farce

Loved at the Arsenal too was Charlie....would fare better within the current team because the football under Wenger is much more his style.

Brilliant I was there

Roy Aitkens celebration was awesome, the Bear loved sticking to them, watch him laugh with his fist is the air , what a fkn strike.....look at all the Ranger fans trying to get near him to cry and weep....are they the only fans that piss and moan for every goal against

cheecky Charlie setting up the third for big Roy ' brilliant.

superb, mike Conroy and Dom Sullivan vastly under rated

Feed the Bear, feed the Bear, feed the Bear

I think Charlie's debut was at Ibrox a few months earlier not in this game.

Rip tommy burns YNWA good goals :)

Champagne Charlie is hard to listen to now.

Charlie Nic...Good Maryhill Bhoy COYBIG

Bono played for Celtic??? :)

feed the bear feed the bear feed the bear ............ mon the hoops

Aye it came back to haunt him when Walters ripped him to shreds in 5-1. game at IBROX.He was a big COO!

This WASNT Charlie,s debut ,av3-0 defeat at ibrox was his Derby debut the previous November!

Where was this match played?

Absolutely brilliant, now that's futbaw, real futbaw.

won the league cup scoring twice against the bindippers.

Was Charlie's second game v rangers.

What is the Music, please????

This short clip shows how the game has changed. The celtic players could easily have gone down easily in the rangers penalty area on numerous occasions. Proves todays players are a bunch of pansies

Frank McGarvey's hair lol

Wasn't Charlie's derby debut, that was earlier in the season.

A good young Celtic side managed by Billy McNeill, winning easily against a poor, ageing Rangers team managed by John Greig.

Feed the Bear....

How come Charlie had lost all his pace when he went to Arsenal ? ?

go home ya huns go home ya huns go home ya huns home ....end was magic hail hail!!!!

Wasnt his old firm debut.... he played in 3-0 defeat at ibrox in previous game on 1st November 1980

The quality of the football isn't as good as I remember it. The players look a bit stiff actally.

huns Mark 1 run for the exit after the bear makes it 3

You couldn't listen to him. What a jerk.

Hunskelpers

No, Scottish Premier Division

Lol has John Clark ever left Celtic

Go Home you Huns go Home......................

It's shocking tbh. Too much long-ball Wimbledon-style. I'm not surprised Ferguson could put together teams to beat both of these.

What a damaged human being he turned out to be. Whatever kind of Celticness he had in his body has well and truly be drained. Thanks for nothing.

first division not premier league.

I saw quite a few of his early years @ Celtic but like many footballers he kind of lost his way. And YES I know the gooners loved him BUT he just didnt fullfill his potential. Arsenal was the wrong club for him.Liverpool's pass back mind numbingly boring style would not have suited him either. He was flash, he was cocky, he was Champagne Charlie and would have been adored @ OT because there he would have had the right sort of players around him to protect him and the massive crowd to play for !!

If you go round to ibrox think you will see Rangers F.C. on the main stand !

4:01, Nicholas' second goal... bloody hell, was Dave Bassett coaching Celtic in this match? Talk about 'hoofball' and the long ball game of the 80s...

he could have been a celtic great but in my eyes he will always be a duffer

Bye bye rangers no more haha

Charlie seems to divide opinion on his talent. Definitely on his day he was a class act
