Did the tour today and thats what they said. 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubbard and Simpson scored. We lost the away leg 2-1 and lost a decider game in neutral Paris 3-1 the following month. In season 1903/04 we played four games in Vienna and two in Prague. Dates are unknown, so not sure which one came first. Callum_Doon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dates are unknown, so not sure which one came first. That was our first competitive home game against European opposition, however it does look like our first home game against a European team was indeed a friendly against SK Rapid Vienna. From Don54's aforementioned reply in another topic: "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".

East Enclosure Row N 2,823 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 On 21st Jan 1933 we drew 3-3 at home with Rapid Vienna in front of a 56000 crowd. Two goals from Smith and 1 from Bob McPhail. Rapid returned to Ibrox in Aug 1934 when we beat them 3-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As above though the fact it's payday and individual tickets only went on sale today you're probably right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think the prices are too high. I can't make all 3 games so didn't go for the package. The single game price at 40 quid is about 10 quid too expensive. Its at a level where people will still go but will feel a bit ripped off. A bit like the strips actually. 60 quid is about a tenner too much but as we have been starved we will pay it. I think the board have taken advantage slightly to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPL teams sell "Authentic" shirts for £100 and standard replicas for £55/60. Agree about the ticket pricing though, feel £40 is taking the piss a little.

Mate I don't mean this in a cheeky way but zebra do a 10 month payment plan for a season book. You'd be cheaper doing that and it would only.cost you around 46 quid a month. So you'd sometimes have 3 games at home for 15 quid more than you paid for.hearts at home Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
