Budswiser 196 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 For me it brings back nothing but frustration. That was the best chance we will ever have of getting to the European cup final. The fates definitely conspired against us that year Cheated by Marseille although they had some team when you look at who they had and I dont think Hateley and McCoist played together in any of the group games.I think we would have done Milan If we had got through.

MisterC 12,336 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Nisbets goal and being gutted at not getting into the final. Was the first European campaign of Rangers I saw as well as my family werent big on football, first Marseille game my dad switched over for the news at 9 we were two nil down, had to wait until after to find out we drew 2-2 and I didnt even get to see the goals!

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I posted this a few weeks ago and will say it again;I watched the DVD of this season recently and before the Marseille away game Walter is interviewed on the pitch by Gabriel Clarke and claims "at the end of the game we'd probably be happy with a draw"A match where victory would've put us into the European Cup final, and Walter Smith claimed he'd be happy with a draw (which left us relying on Marseille to drop points in their final game) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is I dont remember Wattie being defensive in his first stint and he knew we had to win that last game to have any chance. I remeber Ally missing a stack with his head that Hateley would have buried, turned out it didnae matter. Maybe the mists of time have faded my memory but I remember going to the home games and feeling we had a chance of getting to the final as we were excellent in the away games. Happy days.

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Aye was only just born - but my dad always tells the story of when Durrant scored in Marseille of screaming so loud that I woke up and didn't sleep for the rest of the night - to say my mum was angry and my dad couldn't care less is an understatement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had already took six aff CSK at home and they beat them over there so it wouldn,t have mattered. But with a wee bit of luck and a wee bit less bribing. it could have been our turn.Stand corrected It was a draw with CSKA and Marseille in the first game.

Happy days.The 92/93 season was the last year under Walter in Europe where we genuinely had a go. He always talks about how we were too attacking in his first spell but the reality is that after Hateley left, we almost always played 5-4-1 in EuropeStandard European mid 90s line up wasGoramCleland McLaren Gough Petric RobertsonI.Ferguson Gascoigne McCallLaudrupDurie or McCoist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie_bluenose 20 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 That was the best Gers team ive ever saw, 44 unbeated, and to be honest we were cheated out of the final, i felt Marseille were their for the taking, and over the both games they certainly didnt outplay us. I remember reading Smith felt something dodgy was going on with their results and made sure we took over all our own food and water. Durrant scored a screamer in that game in France, i still have it on VHS taped for the tv when it was on live!!Shame i cant watch it im in south america :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
