Mattheus of Bayern Munich got a great round of applause after he made the point of applauding all four stands after the game at Ibrox.

Not mentioned much in the best of all time lists but was an utterly phenomenal player in my opinion.

Lubanski mate.

Włodzimierz Lubanski was a genius; Gornik lost to Manchester City 2-1 in the final that season. I actually saw Lubanski in 2016 when I was in Warsaw; He looked like he could still put the ball in the net.

Labanski guy for Gornik in ‘69 when they pumped us at Ibrox. Guy ran absolute riot that night.

End of thread he was unplayable that night. His run along the bye line beating any Gers player in front of him then scoring was awesome.

Riquelme & Mendieta are the two that also spring to my mind .

Take your pick from the Ajax team we played in the super cup in 1973, different class

I clapped Matthaus when he was subbed off for Bayern Munich. There was quite a few clapping but there was a lot of boos as well.

The best reception an opposition player ever got at Ibrox was Lampard.

Klaus Augenthaler when he scored Bayern's 3rd in 89, along with half the stadium. We were 1-2 down and he stepped up and launched one into the top corner from 30 yards.

You had to admire that one , even though it put a bit of a damper on our forthcoming bus trip to the return leg . In consolation , the Ocktoberfest was on at that time .

Kempes for Valencia that night was special , and probably the when it started to dawn on me that some players were simply on a different level than what we were used to seeing week in week out in Scotland .

Was he the same "pele" who played for Marseille against us in the champions league 92/93?

Yes he was. 

Didn't know about his sons being with Swansea.

Cruyff, Neeskens and the whole Ajax team in the European finals winners game.

Bonhof for Moenchengladbach. 

Kempes for Valencia.

Cooper in his game for Clydebank, if I remember correcty we already knew he was coming to us, but he still hd a terrific game. 

Kempes for Valencia.

George Best got a great reception too, when he played for Hibs against us, and even Kenny Dalglish got a round of applause when he latched on to a terric 50 yard Graeme Souness pass to score in a friendly against Liverpool. 

 

When we played a Turkish team called Ankaragucu, half an hour before the game two of the Turkish supporters walked in to the Rangers end which was filling up from the back and stood half way between the crowd and the track wall. They unfurled ad Ankaragucu banner about 6 feet by 10 feet. I'd never seen anything like that back then and there was a sudden intake of breath from the whole Rangers end as we realised what had happened and what could happen next..........then suddenly someone started clapping and the rest of the crowd joined in the applause at the sheer cheekiness and bravado of it. 

Normal business was resumed as John Greig scored twice in the first twenty minutes and we won 4-0 and to their credit the wee Turkish guys kept their flag flying.

 

Is this the team that kicked us off the park and had about 4 players sent off ? 

Not sure if I'm exaggerating that a bit .

That whole Juventus team were something else, I remember the game at ibrox when you could see them up close. The size of them was frightening, they were all about 3 foot across the shoulders, absolutely massive. They made our players look like little boys.

Yeah because the cheating bastards were all doped up by Juventus doctor...he was kicked out off the game a few years later

Was that the fullback, torrecelli or something?

Marocchi, I think.

Although Jim White was creaming himself over Torricelli, who had a stormer.

McLeish took the piss out of JW for getting too carried away!

Matthaus was raging when when he got subbed.  Refused to acknowledge the Bayern manager and stormed off down the tunnel I think.  Hagi did the same the next season when he got subbed against us for Galatasaray.

Aye was it the right back tae?  Torracelli or something

He’d scored earlier on mate.

I thought it was him, too but when I looked it up it was Marrocchi.

I’d also forgotten it took them to the 88th minute to get their third.

[onefootwillie 1,518]

There are 3 players that I remember clapping. For me the best ever was Riquelme then Benzama who I think scored a hat trick for Lyon and then Prosinecki  for Red Star. As a team Ajax when they played in the Super Cup at Ibrox. Juventus were a fabulous team as well .

That Red Star side were a class apart . Absolutely toyed with us .

He certainly should have, remember advocaat mentioning it after the game.

He was already on a booking.  Think the ref took pity on him.  Advocaat wasn’t too happy aye.

If your talking about great perfomances by players at Ibrox then of course there is Mendieta, Riquelme, Benzema but none of them would have been applauded individually during those matches.

Matthaus got some applause (and boos) due to him being subbed. Lampard got applause not just for who he was but because it was also a friendly. Andrews got the applause when he was warming up on the sidelines.
