WGOH 2,344 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 We put in one of our greatest ever performances and defeated Lyon 0-3 away from home. THAT night we were incredible. Cousin was unplayable at times, Hutton was phenomenal and McGregor was outstanding. To a man, the whole team were incredible. Can't find any videos of the goals, but I'm sure we remember them all. Especially that 60 yard pass from Cousin to Beasley! Lets hope we can get those nights back soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 We really did have a good team back then, for some reason I always really liked Kevin Thomson as a Rangers player. Off topic but I mind he scored against the tinks at ibrox just before half time and I mind a year or 2 later I came across a video on YouTube of him scoring and the broomlan road bears that got put in our away end when they come to ibrox doing the bouncy, it was cracking.

cr3_bear 14,792 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 What a fucking season that was , would do it all over again in a heartbeat even though the end was heartbreaking . The pride I had in the team that season was immense bremen at home was probably one of my favourite nights at ibrox and knocking them out was when I started to reliase we might be on the brink of something special here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_dado 25 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The bullet McCulloch header from that game is one of the moments watching the team that is burned into my memory, that and Kris Boyd missing a sitter vs Villareal that would have probably put us into the last eight of the champions league.

plymouthranger 3,860 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I remember going into the Stuttgart game, who were champions of Germany, thinking that we had to win.

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Remember it well my brother would have been 10 months old and I was running about the house jumping and bouncing screaming when we went 3-0 up couldn't believe it, my stepdad at the time "Rangers man" told me to be quieter as would wake brother. Fuck that 3-0 up away to a very good European side Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,564 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Watched the game in my pals house and was rubber before it,to this day I can remember sitting on his couch laughing like fuck in sheer amazement. "Three nil,three fucking nil!" IIRC wasn't that the first game they lost at home in the CL? Lyon were a cracking team to watch then and their record in Europe at the Stade Gerland was phenomenal at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Nine years ago? Really? Jesus Christ, where is my life disappearing to? What a night that was. I remember watching it in my old room at my mum's. I used to play Championship Manager/Football Manager religiously, so I knew most of Lyon's team and what they were capable of. To go one, two, then three-bil up with no reply was dream stuff; a fantasy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
