3 teams from the same city

[Souness86]

Edinburgh

The old Hibs, the new Hibs and Hearts.

 

[GazzaG]

Edit.

Made an arse of it!

 

[MightyGersLand!]

If we ever draw Besiktas, then Istanbul.
Pretty sure we've played Dukla Prague in the past, so with the sparta and slavia scum recently there's another.
London we'd likely need Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham in competition.
Madrid would be Getafe and Atletico?

Getafe is a city in the Madrid region.
It's not in the city of Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano.
Real
Atletico.

 

[Abacab]

Don’t think we’ve played them either, although Van Vossen pitched up there.

Fs only read the thread title

 

[EverGer]

Liverpool - if you include Tranmere

Tranmere aren’t in Liverpool. They are on the Wirral.

 

[Withambear]

Birmingham if you include West Brom

Queens Park

And third lanark

 

[BlueLedbetter]

Edinburgh

The old Hibs, the new Hibs and Hearts.

That's a shout meadowbank

 

[huistra23]

4 for Glasgow, Clyde

6 if you include Clydebank,and Third Lanark

 

[Govan_Guy]

Might have played Hibs, Hearts and Meadowbank Thistle

We played Meadowbank in the 1984 League Cup.

 

[Big Joke New]

Why would you include West Brom?

That's like saying "Glasgow, if you include St Mirren"

West Bromwich is a district of the Birmingham metropolitan area. It's not the same as Paisley

 

[Bri RTID]

Istanbul

Unless have we played all 3?

 

[Big Joke New]

Good shout . I went to Prague for the Zizkov game I just thought they had moved the game to a bigger stadium I never knew they were from Prague

I was in Prague years ago and walked past the stadium. The gate was open and I wandered in. A groundsman spotted me and came over. i thought I was going to get a bollocking but he asked where I was from and when I said I was from Glasgow and a Gers fan he took me on a little mini tour of the ground!

 

[Big Joke New]

Tranmere Rovers fans won't like that

They might not but they are in Birkenhead which everybody counts as Liverpool

 

[SpringburnLoyal]

And third lanark

And Cowlairs

 

[PT98]

Should have completed the Athens trio this year but us and olympiakos made an arse of it

 

[rangers1962]

4 for Glasgow, Clyde

5 for Glasgow, Third Lanark and probably a few more from very early.

 

[Big Joke New]

Tranmere aren’t in Liverpool. They are on the Wirral.

Aye okay Eratosthenes (look it up)

 

[warfieldranger]

Prague - slavia, Sparta, Victoria zizkov

Have we ever played against Bohemians (also from Prague)?

Edit - just checked and we have - http://www.eurocupshistory.com/match/history/324-1210/rangers_vs_bohemians

 

[GovanFront4]

AEK Athens
Panathinaikos
Olympiakos. I'm counting Pireus on a technicality.

Edit I'm a fanny. Not content with getting the geography wrong, it also turns out we haven't actually played Olympiakos. They must be one of the biggest names in Europe we've never played competitively.

 

[djurgardenbear]

That's the Dublin variant.

 

[tazzabear]

I know we have played a few sides from Moscow . Is their any other city we have played 3 sides from the same city

Edinburgh, when Meadowbank played there.

 

[Big Joke New]

Prague - slavia, Sparta, Victoria zizkov

And Dukla Prague - CWC 1981

 

[Chris the Bandito]

We played Meadowbank in the 1984 League Cup.

And we’d have played Leith Athletic back in the pre-war era

 

[tazzabear]

Liverpool - if you include Tranmere

Is that not Birkenhead?

 

[Big Joke New]

Moscow - Dynamo, Spartak & CSKA

 

[temperance]

Birmingham if you include West Brom

Black Country, they get offended if you call them Brummie

 

[Ferrybear73]

Edinburgh

The old Hibs, the new Hibs and Hearts.

There used to be St Bernard's, who actually won the Scottish Cup, but went out of business prior to WW2. I actually played for their Boys club in the 80s, who were still on existence.

 

[Ferrybear73]

We played Meadowbank in the 1984 League Cup.

Beat them over 2 legs in the semi final I recall.

 

[Blue As]

is Lisbon a possibility? Benfica and Sporting plus another?

Who was the team we beat on penalties under McLeish? Vignal scored the deciding penalty from memory.

Maritimo is 1000 kilometres from Lisbon, off the coast of North Africa on the island of Madeira
(It was a good trip,despite the fact we were terrible and got beat 1-0.)

 

[defender]

London, although not all competitively.

Glasgow.

Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
Fulham

 

[Shengus Malengus]

There happens to be a whole heap from Glasgow and Edinburgh if you go back to our early years.

 

[Nerlinger]

Stockholm and Berlin.

 

[davmcc]

Istanbul

Unless have we played all 3?

We've not.

I had in my head that we played Besiktas in the 2010/11 season but it was intact Bursaspor who aren't from Istanbul.

 

[gers1978]

Why would you include West Brom?

That's like saying "Glasgow, if you include St Mirren"

Same with the "Liverpool, if you include Tranmere" answer. Why would you include Tranmere?

Could just as easily say "Birkenhead, if you include Liverpool"

 

[gers1978]

Must be more than two in either São Paulo and/or Rio. Can never get my head straight on the exact teams from there though.

The big 3 in São Paulo are:

Palmeiras
Corinthians
São Paulo

Rio has 4 big teams, historically:

Botafogo
Flamengo
Fluminense
Vasco da Gama

 

[ranger nation]

Don’t think we’ve played them either, although Van Vossen pitched up there.

Van Vossen played for Istanbulspor.

 

[Corriebear]

Maritimo is 1000 kilometres from Lisbon, off the coast of North Africa on the island of Madeira
(It was a good trip,despite the fact we were terrible and got beat 1-0.)

I couldn’t remember their name. I knew Braga and Porto weren’t Lisbon based. Have we played any other teams from Lisbon?

 

[Hobjo]

Birmingham if you include West Brom

not in the city technically, in Sandwell. Bit like Giffnock being in East Ren

 

[Main Stand]

Van Vossen played for Istanbulspor.

I must admit, I thought they were the same team

 

[bad boy boogie]

Partick Thistle Clyde and the Scum?

Queens park?

 

[Wang]

Don’t want to hijack the thread but am I right in saying PSG are the only club of any real note in Paris?

 

[Jack Flash]

Good shout . I went to Prague for the Zizkov game I just thought they had moved the game to a bigger stadium I never knew they were from Prague

And Barry missed that fukn penalty!

 

[Puggy]

Maritimo, not from Lisbon though.

Correct they’re from Funchal in Madeira, 600 miles away from Lisbon.

 

[Beanzie]

AEK Athens
Panathinaikos
Olympiakos. I'm counting Pireus on a technicality.

Edit I'm a fanny. Not content with getting the geography wrong, it also turns out we haven't actually played Olympiakos. They must be one of the biggest names in Europe we've never played competitively.

Got to admit that I am also very surprised that we've never played Olympiakos before

 

[Cuparman]

Galatasaray, Fernebache and Besiktas.

Istanbul.

We have never played Besiktas as far as I am aware.

 

[Jack Flash]

Maritimo is 1000 kilometres from Lisbon, off the coast of North Africa on the island of Madeira
(It was a good trip,despite the fact we were terrible and got beat 1-0.)

Is it their stadium which is right at the top of the hill, you can get to it by cable car?

 

[Talktalk]

Lisbon has 5 if I remember right

 

[Jelle1880]

Don’t want to hijack the thread but am I right in saying PSG are the only club of any real note in Paris?

They are now. Racing Club de France used to be the big team though up until the 60s.
You also have Red Star FC who were a big name prior to PSG, founded by Jules Rimet in fact.

 

[The Jeanie]

Surely Copenhagen? Lyngby, Brondby and FC Copenhagen?

 

[Normandy]

Don’t want to hijack the thread but am I right in saying PSG are the only club of any real note in Paris?

Depends on your definition of ‘of note’
