    I think it would be Scotland v Northern Ireland, WC Qualifier 1981 - 78,444.
    First ever Scotland match, and only time I was at Hampden with the 'old' terracing which had wood and ash, and that funny second tier thing??

    My second game was just over a year later: against Brazil in Seville. Slightly different atmosphere and temperature!!

    Although the official attendance, there were tens of thousands more at Wembley with the amount of fiver's and then tenners being passed to turnstile operators, many a new home purchased on the proceeds.

    75,181 - Real Madrid v Alaves.

    Otherwise it's either whichever Hibs SC final recently had the largest crowd (Celtic?) or Scotland 6 Nation games when I was an event steward if that counts as "attending".
    Mon the Hibs.

    Not going to count internationals or the handful of boring rugby internationals I’ve been coerced into just for a day out.

    1972 Celtic 6 Hibs 1 - 106,000
    1969 Celtic 6 Hibs 2 - 76,000
    1972 Celtic 1 Hibs 2 - 72,000

    Celtic V Liverpool for Hillsborough would be the highest football attendance - just over 60,000.

    For Hibs, either the Skol Cup Final or League Cup Final at Celtic park - around 46,000

    Non football would be the State of Origin game last year or a Aussie Rules in 2000 at the MCG - 90,000.

    V Celtic 1972 cup final (6-1) ��
    Stats said 106,000, felt more like 130,000
    And probably was, if I remember correctly gates were broken open at both ends and loads got in free

    If I remember correctly, the Scotland V England 0-0 game at Hampden around the early 70,s had a crowd of 143,000 as there was around 25,000 forged tickets.
    The crowd was heaving, and the Ayr Majorette's did the before and half time entertainment.

    Went to Scotland 0 v 1 England 1972 at Hampden 120000 there

    Only went because John Brownlie was playing

    Jimmy Clitheroe scored the winner and silenced the crowd

    I’ve only ever been to one rugby match and that Wales game in 1975 was it. We left at half time as we were being crushed, you couldn’t move!

    Scotland v England in the 70,s 137500 tickets was the reported number on sale .The Sunday post ran an article the next day reporting there was over 2900 more at the game.

    At Easter Road v Celtic when we were both at the top of the league 48500. Think it was 4-2 Celtic

    Update for me, highest football attendance was England V Scotland 1999 at Wembley - 76,000.

    Anyone claim to be at the Brazil v Uruguay game in 1950? Just shy of 200,000 with unofficial estimates well above that figure!

    Never been in a six figure crowd.

    Highest was England v Scotland at Wembley in '83, around 85,000.

    There had been loads of trouble at previous games and the attendance didn't reach the 92,000 capacity for a midweek match.

    I went to that one as well, we were regularly getting Hibs players in back then, Pat Stanton, Peter Cormack, Alex Cropley and Onion, then Shades was capped and then Arthur Duncan.

    I'm sure like you a couple of weeks after the 106,000 cup final was the Auld Enemy clash.

    Domestic game down South, Arsenal v Ipswich 1978 FA cup final. 100,000.

    The rest of the 100k games were the Wembley Internationals.

    ER highest likely Scottish cup tie against Rangers 1973.

    There were 114,716 at the 1979 Scottish Cup Final.
    That must be the largest crowd I've ever been in. Having said that it didn't feel that crowded where we were under the old egg box north stand - but there were a rather large number of original Rangers fans there - I think it is the first time I heard the word 'fenian'.

    That was my first visit to Wembley and it would be the biggest crowd of pure hatred i've been in unless the one there in 88? was bigger

    Ziare, thanks Billy. I saw an U23 against England when we had Blackley, Duncan & Brownlie, Blackley totally outshone Derby's new 170k signing from Sunderland, Colin Todd and Dave Wagstaff gave Onion a right old chasing, only time I saw that.

    Amazing crowd especially as probably almost no fans would have travelled from Germany or Spain . No internet and most folk didn`t have tellies but must still have known about great players in both teams .

    In recent times.

    I suppose 1972 final 106 000 . I remember there were " only " 76 000 at semi v Rangers that year ( slightly less at replay ) . Only about 50 000 at 1979 SC final I think ( first televised final ).
    Been in Bernabau a few times with 80 000 but you could hear a pin drop .
    At ER think biggest crowd I was in was v Celtic when they clinched league in mid 70s . Think we finished second so still had a remote chance of being champions . Almost 50 000 . About same time I was locked ou of a cup replay v Rangers at Holy Ground with supposedly 50 000 inside .
    In European matches at home I was at Juventus with about 36 000 and both Liverpool matches which had smaller crowds . Against Leeds when we lost on penalties may have been bigger and other Leeds match was before my time .
