Which goal was better? Jardine v Van Bronckhorst

[dh1963]

Today's poll is between 2 goals scored against top level European opposition.

In 1972, Rangers reached the semi finals of the European Cup Winners Cup and faced the mighty Bayern Munich. After a 1-1 draw away from home, the Ibrox second leg gave us the chance to reach a 3rd European final. An unlikely scorer set us on our way, Sandy Jardine scoring this long range shot in the first minute. One of our greatest ever results.

Then in 2000, Rangers visited the best team in France in the Champions League. Monaco were a club who were threatening to win a major European trophy, and the only goal of the game was scored by Giovanni van Bronckhorst with this 30 yarder in the first 10 minutes.

2 great strikes. 2 great European results. But which goal was better?

I’ve went Gio

can’t beat a Daisy cutter at times

 

[Rc1275]

Gio

 

[Blaze Of Glory]

Gio's for me too.

 

[Rangers daft]

Gios every day of the week

 

[1288Bear]

Simply can't vote against Sandy.
Scored an incredible amount for a full back (boosted by pens admittedly) and some crackers among them. And this goal was right up there and meant so much for the club.
Another cracker by Gio though.

 

[MarkWalters11]

Used to love Archies commentary “ he lets flyyyy”
Gio all the way

 

[DarthVader]

Went for Gio purely on the basis that I was at the game, both top class.

 

[doc_brown]

Gio

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Simply can't vote against the goal that got us to Barcelona and win our only European trophy.

Sandy for me, especially as it was with his weaker foot.


Both keepers look badly at fault, particularly for Gio's.

 

[naemair]

Jardine’s goal in that semi final ( and I was there!)

 

[sofakineazy]

Sandy for me.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Very little in it but i voted Gio purely because i was there

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Alan Johnston and Konterman christ I forgot they were playing.

Gios goal was magic.

Was there.

 

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

Great strike Sandy, but I feel German arrogance had a hand in it. Gio's was more skilful too, even taking ball/boot improvements into account.

 

[macjohn212]

Sandy's all day long ...although I was there to see Gio's , it was a howler from the keeper

 

[bluestew]

Sandy's....seemed like slow-motion

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Sandy's all day long ...although I was there to see Gio's , it was a howler from the keeper

Definitely badly at fault.

 

[carlosapicella]

Sandy for me.

Has to be Sandy, only because I was just right of centre behind goal,one of those as soon as he hit it ,it was goal bound,gio's was a fabulous goal also!

 

[daven37]

Sandy in terms of importance and where it took us.
In terms of the goal itself, gio's goal wins.

 

[HRHXI]

Gio's goal for me. Fabulously hit

 

[vinnie]

Gone for Sandy, no way Gigi’s should have been allowed in.

 

[L&D RSC]

Sandy in Royal blue takes todays by the narrowest of margins.

 

[Northbear]

Both top goals , this is getting harder to pick everyday Sandy goals fantastic
Gio V goals sweetly struck also remember watching it
Sandy strike just one of my Heroes

 

[SDF]

Gio for me.

Even as that season started poorly he was on absolute fire for three months until his..er...six month groin strain appered before the Arsenal move.

 

[Stoorie]

Just couldn’t decide, so I cheated and looked at 22/23, so voted for Sandy!

 

[KensitasClub]

Sandy for me.

 

[Craigie]

With context taken in to account it would have to be Sandy's.

The better strike itself however is Gio's.

Monaco us the most civilised ground I have ever been at. Shown to our seats, beer in hand, by some wee darling. Though that does explain why there is not atmosphere there on a weekly basis.

 

[tod1872]

Gio for me

 

[JPS Blue]

Sandy for me.

 

[cooler_king]

Gio for me

 

[Wand Of A Right Foot]

GVB

 

[red_rubber_glove]

Sandy's for me

 

[DadoPrso9]

Gio.

 

[MFK Bear]

Sandy Jardine for me, I was at the game in Monaco which was my first and last away trip (excluding Manchester).

 

[juanger]

Sandy edged for me

 

[Flying High]

Voted Gio for the best goal, but agree Sandy’s was more important.

 

[Arkanoid]

A Cup Winners Cup Semi final, some times the stage makes the goal. Sandy for me

 

[Disraeli]

I’d forgotten just how far out Gio’s goal was - a tremendous strike.

that win put us on 6 points from our first two games intl that group. A travesty we never qualified from it

 

[rfcsteven]

Gio. Great goal

 

[gazblue]

Sandy

 

[The Royal Standard]

No surprise to these the votes are close . Gio just nicks it for me

 

[moiphy]

Hard one, not the cleanest of strikes from either, Jardine's just shaves it for me.

 

[Deleted by own request member]

Voted for gio

Tugay’s performance in that game against Monaco was one of the best individual displays in a Rangers shirt that I’ve seen in my lifetime

 

[Rio Bear]

Two great goals, but Gio for me....

 

[The Barcelona Bear]

Sandy because of the importance of the goal

 

[Jaws II]

Jardine was a better player and at his peak along with McGrain were both world class fullbacks.
His goal was more vital and better.

 

[DUK_]

Jardine for me. Good strike with, if I'm not mistaken, his weaker foot.

Both goals were poor defensively if truth be told.

 

[Stevie13000]

Gio for me

 

[miraculous]

even tho I was at the bayern game, i've gone for Gio's goal - it's one of my all time favourites
