Legendary Aberdeen goalkeeper Theo Snelders says he feared he would have to take a penalty in the dramatic 1990 Scottish Cup final shoot-out win. The Dons ultimately edged out Celtic 9-8 on spot-kicks as Snelders saved a penalty from Anton Rogan. Aberdeen defender Brian Irvine then netted his spot-kick to secure the trophy. All 10 outfield players had taken penalties before Irvine’s winner and Snelders knew the keepers would be next.
