buster. 5,200 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) That is the second club from Belguim we've been drawn against in one single campaign. Previously, we'd been drawn against clubs from that country only 3 times in 64 years of playing European football. 1958 Anderlecht: EC Qualifier, 7-2 agg.win 1962 Standard: EC Quarter-Final, 3-4 agg.defeat 1992 Bruges: CL GpStage, Home win / Away draw 2020 Standard: EL GpStage, H & A wins Total 6 wins in 8 and only one defeat but a costly one that prevented a shot at a EC semi-final. I also recall the away draw in Bruges being a game that we should have won. Edited December 14, 2020 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went over to Bruges for that game. Yeah, we possibly should have won but I recall being relatively happy with a draw. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we possibly should have won but I recall being relatively happy with a draw. I watched the whole 90 minutes in the middle of a Spanish night. The CL was new and I don't think a Spanish team had qualified for the group stage and they showed most, if not all full matches on council TV.....but there was an order and Brugge v Rangers was given an approx. 3am slot. The Marseille v Rangers game was shown live throughout Spain on the main channel, as it happened. I had a long drive that day and got in a little late. Turned the TV on and in that instant, Marseille scored, horrible deflated feeling. That night was our big opportunity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been to the Lyngby, CSKA and Bruges games and my money had run out by the Marseille game as I was getting married later that year, so I didn't go. It was a hellish trip, in and out in the one day. Yeah, just one more goal in that game and we were through to the final, and I fancied our chances against that Milan side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three you went to were within a relative stones throw of each other, Marseille would have been a lot warmer but significantly further away. Perhaps cheaper than getting married though. I was in Brugges back in the interrailing 80's and managed to score myself !! Edited December 14, 2020 by buster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 A Flemish guy called Bert drove a tourist route bus I was on in South Africa. He wasn't a football fan (I checked). Hopefully we're still in great form when we play this lot. Qualifying for the last 16 two years running would be a very good achievement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
