Ibrox Disaster: World joined city in mourning greatest of tragedies IT WAS just too late to make the final edition before the newspaper went to press. The last Evening Times of the day on January 2, 1971 was full of praise for the Old Firm players who had made that afternoon’s derby such a thrilling affair. “Two goals come in last 90 seconds!” said the headline on the sports pages, paying tribute to scorers Jimmy Johnstone and Colin Stein. Only a short, devastating sentence on the back page revealed that in fact, this game had ended in catastrophe. ‘Fans Die As Ibrox Barrier Collapses’, said the small headline, at the bottom of the page in the space reserved for breaking news in the days before websites and social media.
