While Scotland hosted England in a gala match in 1902, the flamboyant new western stand of the stadium collapsed. After investigation, it will prove that the heavy rains of the previous days are the cause of this tragedy, a little as if the tribune had been built in sugar and had been eaten by the waterspouts falling on Glasgow those days. The foundations have indeed been damaged by torrential rains and in the 51st minute of play, hundreds of supporters fall a hundred meters. The death toll will be 25 dead and several hundred wounded. If this tragedy is relatively forgotten today, it allowed to advance on the architecture of the stands. The grandstand consisted of wooden tiers supported by an iron frame. After the accident, this type of construction for the stands is discredited. Throughout the UK, the stands were built on embankments or "hard".
