VanVeenRangers 2,508 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I was too young to remember this. How did it feel as a bear beating Leeds? Is it the same as eg us beating Liverpool today? I would have loved to experience the build up where the English media were writing us off. What were the Scottish media saying prior to the tie?

It was great, but the sense of achievement wasn't quite like that because it was just as Sky was starting to pump big money into the game down there and the gap is nowhere near like it is today. But yeah, from what I remember we were being seriously wrote-off by the English media. Leeds were still a good team though - David Batty, Tony Dorigo, Gary McCallister, Gordon Strachan, Eric Cantona etc. The McCoist goal at Elland Road is probably one of the best counter-attacking goals you'll see. Perfect example of a counter-attacking goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter huistra 1,740 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hateleys dummy is brilliant for the second goal but the first so early in the match is just sublime , the awareness of where the keeper is magnificent . Goram was truly world class at that time . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,458 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 This and Russell’s winner against PSV are tops imo. Check the bottom right corner for the number of passes in the build up - superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,439 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 92/93 Rangers team is arguably our best ever. 44 game undefeated run, treble, undefeated in Europe, 1 goal away from the Champions League final. However we were basically cheated out of the European final by Tapie etc. Was too young to remember but I’ve heard my dad say that 1987 was our best chance to win the European Cup when we lost on away goals to Staeu Bucharest in the quarter final. Think there weren’t many good teams left that year. 👎🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the old guard 2,291 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ray Wilkins 30 yard volley against the scum always comes into my mind, Davie Cooper in the dryburgh cup final at hampden takes a hell of a lot to beat that. Both goals against the scum. Wonderful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example of a counter-attacking goal. Spot on with that description. Thr two leg tie was sensational from start to finish. McAllister scored a wonderful goal from outside the box within the first two minutes of the first leg and Hateley bettered it within the fist few minutes in the second leg. The first leg wasn’t shown live, it was on delayed transmission in Scotland but it was reported that Berwick Upon Tweed got ITV rather than STV. When we got there, Berwick was over run by Rangers fans. Was like watching it in my home town as practically every Rangers fan I knew had made the 160 mile round trip. Great memories.

English media were, big time. Especially after the first leg. Some basically made it out a formality. Ignorance and arrogance, basically. Back then we were on a similar level to top English clubs, at times probably slightly better. Nothing like today. We could spend at a comparable level. Financial gap due to TV just didn't yet exist in early Sky days. It was a very good Leeds team, but their soft centre was their centre backs and goalie.

HalifaxBear 209 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I used to live just over the road from Elland Road, could see into the main stand from my room. That night was a fantastic memory.. can you imagine dropping Goram, Gough, Durrant and Hately into today's team? We'd have won the league by Christmas.. Forgot how good Hately was, some great touches and passing. And that finish.. Fucking loved that strip as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His combo of physicality and being outstanding in the air with good technical ability made him a nightmare for the opposition. Good all round striker.

Blacky Bear 821 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 2 screamers, Durrant was Awsome Goram was the Best Goalie in the Planet at this time. Defensively never been stronger at any point in my 46 years. Other goalies were still adapting to no pass back rule, and their Shot stopping suffered, The Goalie embraced it and got better. They go on about Peter Schmeichel, check out Youtube, for 6ft 4" he got lobbed every other week, cant remember The Goalie being lobbed many times. Defence if I remember was RB Dave McPherson, CBs Gough and Brown, LB Robertson with wee McCall sitting in. Great night, 6 cans of McEwans Lagers and all my mates all in my Grans, possibly worst beer ever lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
