The second goal came in the fiftieth minute when Laudrup hit a low left footed cross in from the right which Hearts' goalkeeper Gilles Rousset allowed to slip through his hands and under his legs and into the net at the near post. Durie then put Rangers three nil up after he volleyed home with the outside of his right foot after a left wing cross by Laudrup. Colquhoun then pulled a goal back for Hearts with eleven minutes remaining with a low shot, before Durie restored Rangers' three-goal lead a minute later with a right foot shot over the goalkeeper from a Laudrup pass. Durie then completed his hat-trick with a header again from a Laudrup cross from the right.https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/laudrup-shatters-hearts-1348182.html Laudrup shatters Hearts 19 May 1996 The Independent 8 December 2011 Because of his two goals and overall performance, the final has since become known as the Laudrup Final.https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/rangers/2009/05/28/rangers-legend-brian-laudrup-ready-to-return-for-scottish-cup-final-86908-21395357/ Rangers legend Brian Laudrup ready to return for Scottish Cup final 28 May 2009 Scottish Daily Record 8 December 2011 The same teams would contest the 1996 Scottish League Cup Final in November, again won by Rangers,http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/hearts/twenty-years-on-is-this-the-greatest-league-cup-final-ever-1-4301900 The Scotsman Twenty years on: Is this the greatest League Cup final ever? 26 November 2016 24 October 2017 and would meet again in the 1998 Scottish Cup Final with Hearts the victors.Calum Philip Scottish Cup Final: Stage of dramatic Hearts https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-scottish-cup-final-stage-of-dramatic-hearts-1158932.html https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-scottish-cup-final-stage-of-dramatic-hearts-1158932.html 1 May 2022 subscription live The Independent London 17 May 1998 24 October 2017 Match details 18 May 1996 Rangers 5 – 1 Heart of Midlothian Report Laudrup 37 50 Durie 66 80 85 Colquhoun 79 Hampden Park, Glasgow Hugh Dallas 37,730 RANGERS: GK 1SCO Andy GoramDF 2SCO Alex ClelandDF 3SCO David RobertsonDF 4SCO Richard Gough (c)DF 5SCO Alan McLarenDF 6SCO John BrownMF 8ENG Paul GascoigneMF 9SCO Ian Ferguson 88MF 10SCO Stuart McCallFW 7SCO Gordon DurieFW 11DEN Brian LaudrupSubstitutes:DF FR Yugoslavia Gordan PetrićMF 14SCO Ian Durrant 88FW DEN Erik Bo AndersenManager:SCO Walter SmithHEARTS: GK 1 FRA Gilles RoussetDF 5 SCO Dave McPhersonDF 4 SCO Allan McManusDF 6 ITA Pasquale Bruno 58DF 3 SCO Paul RitchieDF 11 ENG Neil PointonMF 2 SCO Gary Locke (c) 8MF 8 SCO Gary MackayMF 10 SCO Steve FultonFW 7 SCO Allan JohnstonFW 9 SCO John ColquhounSubstitutes:GK SCO Myles HogarthFW 15SCO John Robertson 58FW 12SCO Alan Lawrence 8Manager:SCO Jim Jefferies References External links Laudrup recalls Association football Scotland 1996 Final Scottish Cup Final 1996 Scottish Cup Final 1996 Category:1990s in Glasgow Category:May 1996 sports events in the United Kingdom
