Hi Celtic fan (50 and a half) who also loves watching ALL Scottish teams in Europe.
I was working in Holland then and got a ticket right in the centre of the stand opposite the Rangers support. I was the only Bluenose in the stand. What a night! The match had barely kicked off when they scored and I saw the electronic scoreboard record van der kerkhof 34 secs - that was how quick they scored! We came back though with lots of character to win with Derek Johnstone's thunderbolt and Bobby Russell's goal the icing on the cake. The team couldnt fly back to Glasgow that night because of fog - I was flying home the next afternoon from Schiphol and had the great pleasure to meet the whole team. Fanbloodytastic!!
Did ye Aye?

I'm a 52 year-old lifelong Celt and absolutely love this. Rangers' third goal is sublime, and along with the first, shows the genius of Tommy McLean, who was never properly appreciated. And I agree with MegaLochgelly that this side could have won the European Cup. Would have been some match v Forest, who did win it.
Well said sir.
Paul if only there was more like you m8 👍💯
@@dianestewart7178 Thanks, Diane. Nice one. There were some great Rangers players then, especially McLean, Russell, DJ and Cooper. Going back in the 70s, I haven't heard if Rangers are planning anything in 2022 to commemorate 1972. I hope so - it was a brilliant triumph. It is sad you lost the Cup Winners' Cup Final in 1967 - to have both the Old Firm win a European trophy would have been amazing for Glasgow and Scotland.
@@robertelliott2216 Thanks, Robert. I have only just seen this.
They needed a bit of luck in the draw; first 3 ties were against champions of Italy, Holland, West Germany!
A lot of bitter folk posting on here, but then it just confirms what we know all too well: it's all about The Rangers, The Famous Glasgow Rangers. What a team that was, what a winning goal....the European goal of the season that year!
Great memories of my first european games, first game was the home game vs Juventus then PSV at home and then Cologne, too young to go to the away matches but what a trio of games . Thanks for posting this one.
Such a brilliant game , remember watching it on the telly listening to Archie McPherson.No one gave us an earthly but we played brilliantly.Same again for the champions league qualifier would be fantastic
PSV's first home defeat in 25 years in Europe ;-)
First ever team to beat PSV at home in Europe,still undefeated at Philips stadion from 1978 /2022.
I was a fresh faced 18 year old laddie that night, my hangover the next day at work is still embedded in my mind. As an apprentice spark my journeyman Willie MacNicoll sent me up to the attic of the job to sleep it off. Good auld Willie MacNicoll, great journeyman & a great Bluenose. Marvellous Rangers! 💙
I remember this well. What a pass from wee Tommy to Bobby.
We beat juventus to !! happy days, The 3rd goal was superb, a was only a wee guy 7 or 8 but seems like yesterday. WATP
oh these glory days
My Favourite Rangers game of all time. I watched it on tv as a 13 yr old and if memory serves me right PSV were formidable having not been beaten at home for 3 yrs. Great Rangers start as usual! Ally should have taken the entire lot of them to Argentina. Those Guys are Gods!
remember watching the highlights of this on TV as a kid ,great memories ,thanks for posting mon aime .
I was 26 years ols stationed at HQ Afcent Brunssum Holland at the time my son was born in the Phillips Research Hospital in Eindhoven not long after this.
sweet win for Rangers,i remember this well,the dutch were saying after the 0-0 draw at ibrox,how they were going to win by three clear goals,van der kerkhov was interviewed by the daily record and said they would win easy,another newspaper clip to stick on a dressing room wall!!
yup just as cocky as leeds in 92! 🔴⚪🔵
was there and have never forgotten it
In the next rd v. Cologne GERS had enough chances at Ibrox to go to semi sure it was Billy Urquarht who missed a string of chances.Was at 1st rd 2nd leg v Juv who had 9 of the Italian squad in their 13. Think it would have been Forest in semi.
I had the privilege of being at that game.
great seeing this
Fantastic game !
Needed cheering up after that result with Ross County & the Animals closing to 2 points . Onwards to Wednesday.🇬🇧🏴
I was 19 and hitched hiked from the Paisley Road to Hull for a ferry to Europort or some place, we managed, me and my mate managed to get to Eindhoven. long story. I had an army surplus big eff off bag full of tins of beans and stuff and a gas burner thing. . In the Rangers end there was over head heating from the roof.I may be mistaken but thats what we thought at the time.
superb!
Is it bad I just found out my uncle played this? Bobby/Robert Russell
Bobby was a great footballer, tell him so and a proper gentleman to boot.
Easterhoose boy!!! went to both my primary and secondary schools although a good bit older than me. He was a hero to many !! and a top class player never capped by Scotland yet today he would have got himself about 80 caps, none of the Scotland squad today could have laced his boots.
i was at the game bobbys goal was sublime
HE MARRIED THE GIRL OSULLIVAN WHOS MOTHER STAYED IN WESTERCOMMON FLATS IN POSSIL. MY AUNT STAYED SAME FLAT. I WAS ABT 13 N LUVD SEEIN BOBBY IN THE AREA
I was there, great days.
Football how it should be played.Two good teams going hammer and tongs at each other with individual skills,fitness,teamwork .None of the diving,ref harrassing,showboating tripe that passes as the modern game
This team could and should have won the European cup.
Concur - if only - some teams dismissed en route though !!
That was,I think Psv's first European cup defeat at home.
urbankhat65 correct
The only problem was the South Mollucan blokes next to you going into their pockets to check their blades every bloody five minutes.These blokes were scary looking. Anyway, After the game the fans were going so mental, I mean us, that John Greig walked behind the goal and asked us to calm down. Afterwards there was not one bit of trouble. The Dutch treated us amizingly well. We slept i n bars and railway staions but made it home in time
Je ne reconnais pas Van Beveren.
Pourquoi Mc Leod ne jouait il pas avec l'équipe d'Ecosse ?
To go to Firhill where , if my memory is correct we lost to Thistle.. Back to reality.
Was there 40 pound return on th supporters bus.
Same team 10 men won the league against that season 😊😅😂
HAHA GET THAT UP YE PSV
lol no. You never will either, Sevco.
Obsessed prick.
Or more likely obsessed by ( wee weans ) pricks.
10 is well and truly dead ,,,l get over it ,,, your team are embarrassing in europe
Rangers newco will never be as good as the real Glasgow Rangers
+hardcopy still good enough to beat the shower of kiddie diddlers
+suffern63 your ALL perverts up there, just different shirts
And yet 4 years later we have seperate entity 😂😂💯🇬🇧
.....still,at least PSV are still alive.
Da patter
Not in champions league there not lol.
R u
Are we getting into company names again?
Fair enough.
It can be argued, using your short-sighted logice, that your club c have NEVER won a European trophy!
Fergus McCann reconstituted the then privately owned Celtic Football & Athletic Company Limited as Celtic PLC in 1994
Ridiculous isn't? Of course it is! Same club, different company...
