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.

A young Ghanaian player called Abedi Pele who was in a different league to everyone else on the park during a pre-season friendly around the early-mid 90s.

Standing ovation when substituted from all 4 stands that evening iirc.

thats a blast from the past, he was some player at the time, spent most of his best years in France.

 

He's the father of the Ayew boys who play for Swansea

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Just broony, best player to have graced the world of football. 

Cant believe he choose to play in Scotland all his career.

Pointless fact of the day: His 2 boys are the Ayew brothers that play for Swansea.

Best midfielder in Europe at that time. Ran the show. That Valencia team was something else. Canizarez, Pellegrino, Lopez, Adrian, Kily. World class.

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

I remember when we played Valencia over there, they had lost their first 3 league games and were supposedly "in a crisis" , well they absolutely took us apart . It was 3nil going on 7 , they got to the final that year and no wonder. Mendieta was the main man as well.

Yeah typical scottish gutter press branded then the Aberdeen (they were struggling badly at the time) of Spain! They were amazing that season.

[tannerall 25,935]

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.

Paul Lambert when he got a red and stretched off, was funny as fuck!

Juventus. Played us of the park.

That last minute goal was a cracker & got quite a good (if grudging) round of applause from those who were left.

[The Widow's Son 399]

Remember applauding an Arbroath player named Fletcher - blonde and full of running, scored too if I recall.  They won 3-2 at Ibrox during the (very) early 1970's.  I think that Andy Penman also played for them that time.  Maybe some of the older bears can help me out with this one.  Also recall some good players with St. Mirren - Cameron Murray, Bobby Adams and Bobby Pinkerton.  

[bassettger 368]

The whole Ajax team after they beat us 3-1 at Ibrox in the Super Cup Final in the 1972-73 season. Rangers played well but were simply outplayed by the finest club performance I have witnessed at ibrox. The passing and movement was unreal.

 Valencia, Mario Alberto Kempes  European Cup Winner's Cup game at Ibrox in 1979, was outstanding and was roundly applauded by a knowledgeable and appreciative Rangers support.
