3 teams from the same city

Panathinaikos, AEK Athens and Olympiacos are all in and around Athens, I think, but don't know if we've ever played Olympiacos.
 
I know we have played a few sides from Moscow . Is their any other city we have played 3 sides from the same city
I'm
If you include friendlies:

Antwerp: Antwerp, Beerschot, Berchem Sport

Lisbon: Benfica, Sporting, Estoril Praia

Paris: CAP, Racing, PSG

Toronto: Toronto Ulster United, Toronto Metros Croatia, Toronto Blizzard

Gothenborg: GAIS, IFK Goteborg, Orgryte

Moscow: Lokomotiv, CSKA, Spartak, Dynamo, Torpedo
Hvidovre from Copenhagen
We played them, July 1981. I was there!
 
We first played Leith Athletic competitively in the league October 3rd 1891 at Bank Park, Leith beat us 3-1. The return fixture was at the First Ibrox Park, Rangers won 3-2 on March 19th 1892.

Meadowbank Thistle - we played them for the first time in the League Cup semi final at Ibrox, September 26th 1984 and won 4-0. The return was two weeks later, 1-1 at Tynecastle.

That would then make it five teams from Edinburgh we've played in senior competitions.
 
Good shout
Posted earlier - there have been loads from Glasgow if you include the old and original teams from the late 1890s.

Battlefield, Pollokshields Athletic, Kings Park, Govan Athletic, Jordanhill - and there are more (I just need to complete the list).

Add Celtic, Clyde, Third Lanark, Queens Park, Partick Thistle - I suspect we'll get to 13-15 pretty easily.
 
Right......I've searched the records from our birth to the First World War (assumption is stable set of clubs since then). I've also only included Scottish Cup, League Championship and League Cup - and therefore excluded Glasgow Cup, Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup, Inter City Leagues etc.

I think we've played 24 teams from Glasgow in top class and competitive matches (in those tournaments above):

Battlefield
Cambuslang
Cartvale
Celtic
Clyde
Cowlairs
Govan Athletic
Jordanhill
Kelvinside Athletic
Kings Park
Northern (from Springburn)
Oxford (from Crosshill)
Parkgrove (from Govan)
Partick Thistle
Pollokshields Athletic
Possilpark
Queens Park
Queen's Park Juniors (a "separate entity" to Queens Park)
South Western (from Copeland Park)
Third Lanark (including their original name First Lanark Rifle Volunteers)
Thornliebank
United Abstainers Athletic (from Crosshill)
Westbourne (from Hillhead)
Whitefield (from Cambuslang)

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

Rayo Vallecano.
Real
Atletico.
You are quite correct but it's a bit of a nitpick. Areas like Getafe have been engulfed by Madrid city, eg look at the Madrid Sur metro system etc etc. But yes, you are technically correct. In any case can't remember us playing Getafe ever. Didnt Zenit put Getafe out in the UEFA Semi final when we got to the final?

They pumped Bayern,

To add to the OP, with the exception of UK cities has anyone seen Rangers play 3 teams in the same city ?

I can manage two teams in the same city, Copenhagen and Prague.

Kings Park were from Stirling.
 
I can find a few against teams from Vienna. We’ve played Rapid quite recently (and they were also were one of if not the first non Uk team to come to Ibrox in 1932), Austria Vienna in 1936 and Vienna S-C back in 1904.
 
Based on this thread and only taking competitive fixtures:

Glasgow - hunners
Edinburgh - 6 teams
Prague - 4 teams
Moscow - 3 teams
Copenhagen - 3 teams

2 teams (with a potential for a third)

Dublin
Bratislava
Sofia
Lisbon
Athens (although I don’t think Piraeus counts)
Istanbul
Belgrade
Gibraltar

2 but probably no chance of a third

Stirling (could play Stirling Uni for in the SC)
Rotterdam
Amsterdam
Turin
Zurich
Milan
Porto
Graz
Dundee (not sure what set up the junior clubs are now)

1 but you could get 3

Madrid
Budapest
Bucharest (unirea arnt from there)
London
Belfast
Aberdeen (Cove and Banks’o’ Dee)

Madrid sur metro line doesnt touch madrid.
It goes through Fuenlabrada, Getafe, Leganes, Alcorcon and Mostoles.

It would be like a metro system through Paisley, greenock, Dumbarton and Clydebank and telling us it's the middle of Glasgow.

Villaverde is your spill out district of the city of Madrid closest to Getafe the independent city in its own right.
It would be like comparing Clydebank and Partick. The former being a town in its own right and the later, part of Glasgow.

Zenit beat Munich in the Semi. Gave them a bit of a doing if I remember right.
Munich squeezed past Getafe in the quarters?

What two Stirling teams have we played?
 
West Bromwich is a district of the Birmingham metropolitan area. It's not the same as Paisley
You’ve actually made that up…it’s name is the “West Midlands conurbation” which is made up of the cities of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and the towns including West Bromwich. It’s certainly not Birmingham!
