League Cup Final attendances

Some statistics are easy to know about the Scottish League Cup:

• today is the 64th final
• Rangers have won the most finals (25)
• Celtic have lost the most finals (13)
• Celtic played in 14 finals in a row (between 1964-1978)
• St Mirren have only made the final once before and lost (1956)

Other statistics are harder to find out:

• today is Craig Thomson's first final as referee
• J A Mowat has refereed 7 finals (1 replay) and R H Davidson refereed 6 (1 replay)
• the 67 finals until now have attracted 3,926,414 fans through the gates
• Hampden Park hosts is 61st final today (including 3 replays)
• Celtic Park hosted 3, Dens Park (1 replay) and Ibrox Stadium have hosted 2 apiece

The top three attendances for the League Cup Final will likely never be beaten (all at Hampden Park):

• 107, 609 - Celtic 2-1 Rangers (1965-66)
• 106, 263 - Rangers 1-0 Celtic (1970-71)
• 105, 907 - Rangers 5-0 Greenock Morton (1963-64)

I guess the surprise, given the number of Old Firm finals in the competition (13 times!
