I was sitting in the copland.Porto at Ibrox, John Greig’s last game in charge. 2-1 in the pouring rain. Late away goal conceded.
I am sure mcloy fumbled the ball.
We got beat 1-0 over there i think.

I was 15/16.Same. Girvan Lighthoose sold it unfortunately.
I was 10 that night. My wee yin was 10 at this seasons Porto game so I just had to take her.
I decieded not to go to the game but go out with a burd i had met a week or two before.Osasuna in 85 was torrential rain played in a mud bath.
I was 17 and in east enclosure, great night.John McClelland playing as a striker v Inter Milan
First European game i attended was Cologne 1988/89 season . Think we drew but went out on the night . Always remember ( as we were standing in west enclosure ) the bears singing “we won the war “To lighten the mood, what are your first euro memories as a Rangers fan? The first real season I remember being at games was 1969, I remember being in the St Pats end when we beat Aberdeen in the SC semi, but my first memory of European football was against Athletic Bilbao (apologies if spelt wrong) But I don't remember the goals... I remember the fllodlights and the lack of commentary but my lasting memory was John Greig missing a penalty that seemed so far over the bar it beggared belief. I was sitting on the wall of the original Derry (my dad plonked me there before kick off and somehow always found me at the end!) Loved floodlight football and European matches ever since.
Many great memories since then, and some shite, but that was my first. Anyone else remember theirs?
Also a great game!I was 17 and in east enclosure, great night.
On a high after the game was an understatement.
One of my earliest memories, we beat Borrusia MG 8 nil at Ibrox,11 nil on aggregate.imagine doing that to a top German team now,I'm sure we reached the final that year,also beating Wolves in the semi final,there's a song in there somewhereMines was Sevilla 1962. Beat them 4-0 at Ibrox and lost 2-0 in Spain. I can remember wee Willie Henderson being chased up the park in Spain at the final whistle. Was also at the next round against Spurs, think Jimmy Grieves scored two.
My first European game also. Was running late and had just sat down when MacAllister scored. As you say night did get much better after that.Gary MacAllister's screamer... it got much better after that.
Earliest memory of actually being at the game is Torino in 72 but like dh1963 I have vague memories of cheering with my old man as the mentally challengeds lost to Feyenoord in 70.
One of the best i have been at.Also a great game!
That was mine - reduced capacity - first time at a night game - remember following omnfrom Argentina - someone threw up paper - like the ticker tape - In the main standFirst one I was at was Juve in 78.
I remember being allowed to stay up late to watch a game when I was a toddler and I'm assuming it was the final in 72, but have no real memory of it.
One of my 1st memories, lying in my bed in Hamilton as a 6 year old listening to coverage on the wirelessDukla Prague at Ibrox 1981..think they were an army team.
The first midweek game I attended was against a team called DWS Amsterdam. I have no memory of it at all apart from my dad having to get me home sharp or I wasn't allowed to go midweek again.
Got a vague memory of us losing to Gornik but only because of how depressed my old man was, he never took me to that one.
Sounds terrible, but probably my first proper memory is the celebrations in our house when Feyenoord beat Celtic!
Postponed from the Wed to the Thur due to snow. Army of supporters cleared the pitch to allow game to go ahead. Maybe they could have buried B Urquhart in a snow drift while they were at it.78/79 season against Cologne at Ibrox. I think the game was nearly off due to snow. I had a srap book with a newspaper cutting in it.
