Compare how good he looks in that fifth picture to Hateley and Steven. Still looks like he could be playing, even now.

Callum_Doon 1,036 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 There's a query come up on another thread about about our first home game against European opposition - friendly or otherwise. Seems to be a belief it was Rapid Vienna, however, as I noted: [START] From Wikipedia: "The club's first ever match against European opponents, however, was a friendly match against Austrian side First Vienna in the 1903–04 season during a tour of Austria and Czechoslovakia which resulted in six victories from six matches. They won the match 7–2. The club's first competitive match was a European Cup second-round match against Nice. The match ended in a 2–1 home victory for Rangers..". I can't find any record of Rapid Vienna being our first home match against European opposition. Anyone maybe clarify this? [END] Thoughts?

I can't find any record of Rapid Vienna being our first home match against European opposition. Anyone maybe clarify this? [END] Thoughts? Not saying it was first but In the early 1930s, a reported 56,000 crammed into Ibrox – the highest attendance that season – to watch Rangers secure a respectable 3-3 draw with SK Rapid Vienna in a mid-season friendly encounter. The Austrians were touring the United Kingdom and Glasgow was their first port of call. Rapid went on to face Liverpool, winning 5-2, before a trip to London to take on Queen’s Park Rangers. Both clubs put out strong teams to mark the occasion, Rangers starting with their usual front-five of Sandy Archibald, Bob McPhail, Sam English, Jimmy Smith and Jimmy Marshall. A sign of the quality in Struth’s ranks was that Alan Morton – seen as the best outside-left of that generation – was out of the squad. The visitors started with - Raftl; Jestrab, Czeika; Wagner, Smistik, Pesser; Wessilik, Kaburek, Bican, Binder, Luef. Coverage was minimal in those days and it was only on the 23rd that actual reports of the game began to be published. One national newspaper Tagesdoft dedicated only a few paragraphs in their sport section, but described it as an ‘historic adventure for Austrian sport.’ Incredibly, Rangers were 3-1 down in this encounter against the impressive Austrians. Jimmy Smith had put the Gers in-front, only for the Rapid attackers to ‘react to the battle’ by going ahead before half-time. Smith netted a second, whilst Bob McPhail was on the score-sheet, too. The Austrians were so impressed by Struth’s side that the party took in Rangers’ 3-1 Scottish Cup victory over Arbroath, just two days later. There were only 5,000 fans at Ibrox but the Light Blues came out comfortable winners thanks to goals from Jimmy Smith and a double from Bob McPhail. Tagesdoft reported: ‘Rangers, in line with their expectations, came out with a 3-1 win. They had made half a dozen changes, and tended not to try in the game, especially, having come out not as safe in their last two matches (East Stirling 3-2/Rapid). The momentum of their attack this night was mainly focused on McPhail.’ Struth was comfortable with a second-string Rangers side in their game with Arbroath, lining up as follows: Dawson, Hamilton, Gray, Meiklejohn, Marshall, English, McPhail, Smith, McDonald, Main, Craig. On their return home, Sporttagblatt reflected: ‘Rapid should be immensely proud of their adventure in UK, to battle with the greatest side from Scotland is not easy.’ Callum_Doon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The start was delayed for 18 minutes, with the German party held up in heavy traffic. When the team eventually came out, they were wearing white shirts with red collars and cuffs, and black shorts - the Nazi colours; their shirt badge was a Nazi eagle. To make their politics entirely clear, the Germans had brought with them two large Nazi flags - red with a black swastika on a white circle - and these flew over the Ibrox stand together with a Union Jack. Scotland won 2-0 . Jimmy Delaney (67 and 83 mins) Scotland: Dawson (Rangers), Anderson (Hearts), Cummings (Aston Villa), Massie (Aston Villa), Simpson (Rangers, captain), Brown (Rangers), Delaney (celtic), Walker (Hearts), Armstrong (Aberdeen), McPhail (Rangers) and Duncan (Derby County). Germany: Jakob (Jahn Regensburg), Munzenberg (Alemannia Aachen), Munkert (1FC Nurnberg), Janes (Fortuna Dusseldorf), Goldbrunner (Bayern Munich), Kitzinger (Schweinfurt 05), Elbern (SV 06 Beuel), Gellesch (Schalke 04), Siffling (SV Waldhof Mannheim), Szepan (Schalke 04) and Urban (Schalke 04).
