Best 5 European Games Last Century.

[tannerall 25,935]

1) Our greatest triumph.

Rangers 3 Moscow Dynamo 2 1972

2) The Bayern team was virtually the German national team and went on to win the European cup 3 times in a row.

Rangers 2 Bayern Munich 0 1972

3) The Juventus team was virtually the Italian national team and were holding on to an 1-0 lead with an apparently inpenetratable defence.

Rangers 2 Juventus 0 1978

4) We took this team's home unbeaten record away.

A classic win. The third goal is sublime

PSV Eindhoven 2 Rangers 3 1978

5) Sheer nostalgia, possibly the two greatest teams in Europe at the time.

Rangers 2 Moscow Dynamo 2 1945

That Juventus team had 9 of the Italian World cup squad in their ranks, even the main stand were singing and stamping their feet that night.

Good question T with a lot to pick from. I'm not too far from yours to be honest.

1- Moscow Dynamo 1972. For obvious reasons.

2- Bayern Munich 1972. Not only did Bayern go onto to win 3 in a row but round about the time of this semi they would provide W Germany with the backbone of the team that would thrash England at Wembley . ( pretty sure it was a European Qualifier )

3- Leeds Utd 1992. Scotland v England for a place in the first Champions League with Leeds unbeaten at home for over a year. English press had Leeds big favourites but Rangers were simply different class that night which led to the famous commentary ( Atkinson ? ) ' ' 'Rangers are just toying with them now. '

4- Juventus or Eindhoven 1978. Hard to distinguish to be honest. The Italians had half their World Cup team , but Eindhoven was one of Rangers best away performances against a team at its height in ' total football ' . Pretty sure it was also Eindhovens first defeat at home in Europe.

5- Bayern Munich 1999. Strange one as we got beat, but after striking the woodwork three times and playing them off the park in Munich only to get robbed by a dive is still hard to take all these years later. We were at the height of Advocaats style of football , so many quality players and a young Barry Ferguson pulling the strings , it would have been interesting to see how far we would have got.

Number 3 may get in to my top five ahead of PSV, good shout.

Moscow Dynamo 1972 for obvious reasons

Bayern Munich 1972 ditto

Juventus /PSV A great Rangers team

Leeds 1992 Silenced the rest of Britain

Dynamo Kiev Souness mind games against a really good outfit and a fabulous atmosphere

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

I think the result we got in Marseille doesn't get the recognition it deserves because we needed to win to progress to the final. Drawing with that team in one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Europe was a tremendous result.

winning 3-0 away to Lyon is surely up there

Got to agree with those choices

To be fair there's a lot to choose from.

I'd love to know more about our game v Inter Milan in 1965. A bit young then , but from what I've heard it was our probably our biggest 'miss' for EC. We were 3-1 down to the holders at the Quarter Final stage in the 1st Leg. In the 2nd leg we Went 1-0 up in first few minutes but couldn't score a second for rest of game. Milan went on to win the cup. To think we had 85 minutes to win a game !

It's always the same with these things. What may have been great performances get neglected because of the age profile and of course TV being what it is now.

I'd love to have seen the performance in Vienna that made them break Baxter's leg.
