BC2 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Now I won't pretend I wanted you to win last night, but I will recognise an outstanding result and performance when I see it. I'll even concede it probably shaded Celtic's tonight, but a win over the defending European champions is also a great result for Scottish football. Lots of Scottish players in both sides. Add in the national team's win in Paris and their whole campaign and we have seen nothing like this from Scottish football in many years. I suppose we had Aberdeen and Dundee Utd's european ventures in the early 80s and two Glasgow teams playing a European semi final in 1972. Maybe have to go back to 1967 to beat the current efforts - Scotland the first side to beat the World champions, Rangers only losing ECWC final to Bayern Munich in Germany after extra time and Kilmarnock reaching the semi final of the Fairs Cup (old UEFA cup). I've not missed anything from that year have I? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Haven't missed a thing! I agree completely.. all things considered, it's great to see our national side and the Old Firm beating the likes of France, 6 in a row French champions and reigning champions of Europe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Why come on here and make a post? You support Celtic, this is a Rangers forum so why post here? Are you confused? Are you lost? Or are you just trying ot be smart? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 According to Dutch television the Italians are going to try and get Celtic thrown out for an assault on their keeper. Hopefully the UEFA beaks will look at the tape and view it honestly but they have thrown other teams out recently for crowd trouble so it could go both ways. I agree it is a good few weeks for Scottish football but if we don't qualify for the EK and Rangers and Celtic fail to reach the next round it will be forgotten by xmas. Beating teams in the first round is not in the same class as winning the trophy in my eyes. Yes we should be happy at the recent results but we ain't done nothing yet. In 1967 jim clark was 3rd in the formula 1 championship. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancelotti and Seedorf both playing it down. It is a worry, but surely not. A large fine for security failings is inevitable however. PS Nice reply re Jim Clark. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why rival fans want to post on rival fans boards? Strange. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say you missed out Rangers run in 1992/93 when we got to the equivalent of the Semi finals but went out of the competition on one goal and we were unbeaten, and then the eventual champions were cheats. Other than that your right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
