Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 How do you think Walter would have played this game ? Remember we drew the first game 1-1. I think he would have played for a 0-0 draw. Would we have went through ?Just humour me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Can mind that we attacked them straight from kick off and Jardine scored in the 1st minute, and Parlane scored our second. Even John Greig missed the game through injury but in those days we had a go at teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 The thing is, even though the Germans were full of Internationals, the confidence was high among the Rangers fans, unlike today, you wouldn't fancy us to beat a strong Bayern, Walter seems to fear reputations.To much respect shown.
