jamd1986 8 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 It begins all over again this Tuesday - the world's most exciting club football competition. Whilst it is very disappointing that we are not involved this year, despite having a piss easy route to get there, I thought it would be nice to share our favourite Champions League memories. Just to get some memories stirring... I for one have so many. - Reyna's goal against Parma in the qualifiers 1999. - Several games from last season's campaign: 3-0 against Lyon, the Barca games, Stuttgart at home. - Lovenkrands goal against Inter Milan a few years back. - Lovenkrands goal against Villareal. Whats yours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The victory in Lyon last season has to be our best european result in the last 30 years. Was standing there actually in disbelief, we're really 3-0 up at one of the best sides in europes on backyard. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

excoriate 0 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Looking at this years teams, something about it just doesn't seem all that glamorous? Theres tons of diddy teams in it. Sometimes two in one group (Aalborg and Celtic for example). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

demise 3,543 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The games against Bayern in 1999/2000,both victories against PSV in the same season. The two victories against Stuttgart : 2-1 in 2003 i believe,and 2-1 last season. The amazing run in 2005/2006,especially the games at Ibrox against Inter and Villareal,and ofc Porto.

Emerson 2 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 All great nights, even getting horsed 4-0 by Juventus! It should make our players all the more determined to ensure we win the league and march straight there next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should make our players all the more determined to ensure we win the league and march straight there next season. Del Piero was insane that night. I remember watching it as a kid and being totally awe-struck by him. The PSV 4-1 game was probably my favourite Champions League game involving Rangers. They had players like Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Luc Nilis, Ernest Faber and Mark Van Bommel yet we absolutely destroyed them. Mols was sublime that night. Funnily enough, the memory that sticks out for me with that game was the crowd giving Perluigi Collina pelters after he awarded them a dubious penalty!

papaguy51 912 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I remember Celtic beat Juve Reserves 4-3 at Parkhead, for some odd reason. Del Piero opened the scoring that night with a free kick that was beyond words. I don't know why I remember that so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juve dropped the likes of Buffon and Trezeguet and instead went with Carini and Amoroso. As you say, they put out a reserve team. Didn't stop the press from portraying it as a huge victory for Scottish football though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinViesel 399 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 A sold out Ibrox in the floodlights. Sends a chill down your spine. I will miss it greatly this year but anticipate it even more for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
