My father was at this game. He got me a football signed by the team. He met them in the airport and they obliged.

Special memories.

[LiverpoolBlue 1,395]

What a difference to earlier today ... not only a different team.. a whole different mindset within the entire team

[Zappa6995 3,641]

One of our greatest European Away results and one of our best ever goals.

Magic Stuff

Never tire of watching it.

Real football played by real footballers.

Bobby Russell what a player.

Parlane put in a shift as well.

My first ever Rangers game .......... god I feel old. I f I remember correctly we had just won the treble and Ally McLeod didn't play any of the Rangers team in the opening world cup matches. Derek Johnstone was on fire that year with Gordon Smith. We were the best team in the country at the time.

Yes, Johnstone scored in both home internationals, then dropped for England game and the world cup. We would have been world champions if he had played....

[jamess 3,407]

Russells goal is one of my all time favs,

That is my all time favourite - the quality of the goal and where and when we did it. Just Majic.

[jamess 3,407]

A fine tonic for a bear. Who needs foreign players on big salaries - 11 scots playing for the jersey.

[AlCapone 7,678]

Wasn't at the game but can remember the night vividlly and watched it on tv

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

how many goals did wee doddy score with a wee through ball from tommy mclean,i was 11 that year and loved that rangers team that done the two trebles

[dalton 1,192]

I had moved to england and the game was a minor game there

So the only chance of listening was to tune into radio scotland on a transitor radio

and walk roundthe bedroom trying to get some sort of communication signal

on my wee radio and it was the same for the barcelona 72 win.

That is what supporting your team is all about the extreme,s in adversity

to actually watch our team on screen is a luxury.

We pulled off a fantasic result that the fans made a song about it

We,ve just been to the Zunder Zee

Eindhoven 2 - Rangers 3

Tommy McLean was way underrated as a team player. The number of times he took the ball and had to wait for other players to catch up with him was incredible. Remember him one time at Firhill taking the ball and just stood looking at the space inside and waiting for the inside forward to catch up 2 or 3 seconds later before passing. (It may have been Ally Scott who he was waiting for though, if I recall correctly).

[VB1965 43]

My first ever away game in Europe, pretty sure I went on the Clarkston bus and met some characters (Garry Lynch, Big Alan (Big tall guy, think he was in the Black Skull), Dougie etc) that I'll remember for the rest of my days. Went to Cologne on the Tradeston bus and it was mental, especially a guy called Monty................. Top guy & funny as fuck.

derek johnstone often credits tommy mclean for a lot of the goals he scored,his crosses were absolutely pinpoint

Can remember the Juventus (they were probably the best in Europe at the time) and PSV games vividly (even though it was 0-0), was in the centenary stand both times, so demand for tickets must have been high, but cant remember next round where Cologne knocked us out.

[topgoalie 637]

Was at the game at Ibrox, At our local youth club that night ,we were all Rangers supporters,and inbetween playing fives,we had the radio on not expecting much,then bedlam.....brilliant memories..all going mental,,i was 15 years old and remember it like yesterday.Thats what supporting this magical club is all about,Well done to the OP for highlighting this.WATP.

[VB1965 43]

I was in the Centenary stand for the Juventus game too, amazing atmosphere. Was in the old ceptic end for the Cologne game.......................................Pretty sure big Tan Forsyth was through on goal within the first minute or so.................Totally gutted when we went out................Really thought we'd win it that year and was hoping for Forest in the final.

[topgoalie 637]

Have mentioned numerous times on here that beating Juventus after being behind 0-1 from the first leg,was Rangers best EVER result in Europe.Six of that Juve side went on to win the next World Cup.Best night I have ever attended at Ibrox, as a 16 year old it was just magical.
