This popped up on YouTube earlier. IIRC it was only on the radio and then the full game shown later on that night? 17 min hattrick from Super getting the job done early.
Strangely just came on to post similar. Was an early kick off and I gad training with the school team during it. Couldn't believe when my dad picked me up and told me the scoreI thought they were a handy looking side in the first leg and we were a bit fortunate.
I expected a really tough 2nd leg.
I was playing that night and my mate was giving me updates from the touchline.
I genuinely thought he was winding me up.
Yes some did goDid any bears go?
It's on my bucket list of a tour from Astrakhan to krasnodar, via Grozny and Vladikavkaz.

STV 6pm bulletin showed first few goals while radio still playing 2nd half.5pm UK time kick-off
Only on radio with highlights later on STV
Sure this the game that Ian Archer was that drunk he fell asleep at the game and someone supplied the match report for him?
I'd have been 8 at the time, that was one of the few clear memories of itYes, home match. Think he scored the second.
Sure we were 1-0 down at HT and chasing shadows first half.
Scored the 3rd goal with about 10 to go. Super scored the 2nd that nightYes, home match. Think he scored the second.

Used to love the sound of the old commentary away from home on the radio and TV.
3 guys off the Stewarton bus went, brilliant stories of their trip I heard from them.Yes some did go
Yeah around 40-50 made the trip from memory3 guys off the Stewarton bus went, brilliant stories of their trip I heard from them.

Just found this article , interesting reading
Archie Knox remembers Rangers' trip to Russia in 1996
In this excerpt from The Rangers Review's special 150th anniversary magazine, Archie Knox looks back on one of the club's most famous European away…www.heraldscotland.com
They are still on the go in the Russian First Division.Dont think Alania exist anymore
Would’ve loved to have done that oneYeah around 40-50 made the trip from memory
Memories there of watching Rangers and Scotland games in far flung places as a kid with the commentators talking down the phoneline.Used to love the sound of the old commentary away from home on the radio and TV.

They seem to have switched from Alania and Spartak several times. No idea why though.I remember they’d played Liverpool in the uefa cup the year before and gave them a run for their money. When they played Liverpool they were called Spartak Vladikavkaz. Anyone know why the reason they were called Alania Vladikavkaz when we played them?
Brilliant , that must’ve been some bus trip!I was there
Unbelievably it was my first Rangers away game in Europe. I was 19 at the time.
I'd just been given a contract to move to Tokyo that September with BP so thought %^*& it.... this'll be the last time I'll see Rangers live for a while (my next away europe game was Graz in 2000)
There were 4 of us in the travelling group that went, 2 older guys I'd never even met before.
We went london to Turkey, Turkey to Tblisi then by bus from Tblisi to Vladikavkaz

That wasn’t untypical of that scumbag though.I mind Gerry McNee saying they were the worst Russian Chanpions ever.
Oh really Gerry? Who was the 2nd worst then?
Just the 4815 miles between Vladikavkas and TokyoMy first thought, when we were drawn against this side was how close Vladikaslav was to Japan and how much they’d be spending going to Moscow etc each week!
I was at the home game ..I thought back then that their were a really good side .. Russian champions .. I mean they had to be a quality side .. when McInnes scored it wasn’t enough for me.. I thought that we would need at least another 2 goals to have a realistic chance for making it to the group stages .. second leg I was in Holland so I phoned my Dad for the result and couldn’t believe it .. that was a massive European result which never got the recognition it deservedThis popped up on YouTube earlier.
