The Aberdeen Fans project will unveil the controversial Neil Simpson tifo at the club’s Scottish Premiership clash against Hearts at Pittodrie this afternoon (06/10).
Around 30k Rangers supporters famously turned out for a reserve game to see Durrant make his return in January 1991, whilst the midfielder started a famous ‘winner takes all’ league tie against the Dons at the end of that season.
Rangers defeated the Dons 2-0, with Mark Hateley scoring both the goals to secure the club’s third title of 9IAR.
Ian Durrant would also take Neil Simpson to court for the aggressive challenge and settled for damages in 1993, arguing the challenge was an ’act of extreme recklessness’ (Independent).
The vicious tackle continues to intensify the ill-feeling between Rangers and Aberdeen fans, almost 40 years on.
