On this day in 2007 Rangers won their second Champions League game in a row beating Lyon 0-3 with goals from McCulloch, Beasley and Cousin.

 

What a happy day that was.

 

Doesn't seem like 5 years ago, and yet so much water has gone under the bridge since then.

There it is. The team Rangers were named after.

 

SWINDON RANGERS, 1870.

 

It says Football but remember Rugby Football was a football back then.

 

 

QUOTE

As early as 1870 there has been at least one Rugby Union team in Swindon.The earliest reference that can be found so far is in the Swindon Evening Advertiser and refers to a match played on 26th November 1870 between Swindon Rangers and Highworth on some land loaned to the Rangers by a Mr. J Brunsden in Gorse Hill. There is not much information in the report (see below) but it does state Swindon one by 1 goal and 3 ranges.
