Our Best/Most Impressive European Match Result?

[a_weir]

Sat at work clock watching. So here we go...

Obviously the best thing we’ve ever done in Europe is Barca 72.

But what do you think is the best result we’ve had from a match?

0-0 Barca at home? Fiorentina away? 3-0 Lyon away?

Beating Leeds 2-1 away from home is pretty good.

[Skyy Bluenose]

Juventus 2-0 in '78

 

[Khal Drogo]

PSV away when we won 3-2 must be up there. First time they ever lost at home in Europe?

In relative recent terms, the 3-0 against Lyon was fantastic. For a few years they were a top side and we smashed them

 

[D day]

Leeds away for me,seen it with my own eyes.

 

[trueblue77]

Agree with Leeds away. Beating the English champions has to be up there.

 

[55degreesnorth]

For the younger bears Porto home and away is massive.

 

[Corby]

Parma '99
Inter Milan '65

 

[The_Degan]

From my dads Story’s beating that Bayern team on the way to Barcelona has to top it !!!

 

[WinkieWATP]

As good as Barca are 0-0 is nowhere even close to being the best result we’ve had in Europe.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

3 1 against Inter Milan cant remember which year big Jock Wallace was manager.

 

[Suttonger]

From my dads Story’s beating that Bayern team on the way to Barcelona has to top it !!!

My old man would agree with that.
In modern times for me it would be Leeds away

that was my first thought to

 

[The_Degan]

To this day he still talks about how huge gerd millers thighs were

 

[RenfrewBear72]

Has to be scudding a strong Lyon team 3-0 on their own turf (outwith the obvious winning the Cup Winners Cup).

I'll always remember Jig flying through the air to crash that header in.

2.0 Bayern at Ibrox in 1972.

They had about half of the West Germany squad who won the WC two years later.

 

[Davie_Mitchell]

Marseille absolutely destroyed us for 60 minutes and we summoned up an unearthly spirit from somewhere to draw 2-2. We could have won that night as their world collapsed as soon as we got going. Amazing night.

 

[Corby]

We got knocked out 3-2 by Inter in 1965 - we beat them 1-0 at Ibrox.

They were the holders and went on to win it again that season.

 

[Marstonbear]

Beating Bayern 2-0 is our best result.

6 of that side (names below) won the 1972 European Championship, 1974 World Cup and 3 successive European Cups 1974-76


Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Georg Schwarzenbeck, Paul Breitner,
Uli Hoeness, Gerd Müller

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Inter Milan 1965 we could have won it that season.
Bayern 1972
Juventus 1978

 

[PMB1872]

3 1 against Inter Milan cant remember which year big Jock Wallace was manager.

1984. It would be one of my top 3 Euro wins attended. PSV Eindhoven 4-1 win (against a strong PSV line up) and Sporting Lisbon 2-0 away in UEFA run in 2008 the others. (I wasn’t at Bayern, Juventus, Leeds or Parma wins).

 

[Bigbluebear]

In my time

Leeds 92
Parma 99
Lyon 07
Porto 19

Obviously we have had other good results but these are top for me.

 

[DJ Blue]

Coming away from Livingston with a win and no injuries.

 

[sandyinroyalblue]

3 1 against Inter Milan cant remember which year big Jock Wallace was manager.

85 I think, big McLelland as striker

 

[Sandbear]

Juventus 2-0 in '78

That’s the best one I’ve been at. At 16 years old I never really registered the size of the result , expected it every season

 

[Disco Deejay]

2.0 Bayern at Ibrox in 1972.

They had about half of the West Germany squad who won the WC two years later.

Bayern '72 get's my vote as well.

They were a fantastic team who also went on to win the European Cup in 74, 75 & 76.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Bayern '72 get's my vote as well.

They were DD.

But we absolutely rocked them that night.

The silky Beckenbauer just booting the ball out of the park. That’s when I knew we had them

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

85 I think, big McLelland as striker

Yep, big John & Davie Mitchell with Iain Ferguson behind them

[TN8]

Bayern 72 or Juventus or PSV in 78.

 

[HandsomeHead]

1984. It would be one of my top 3 Euro wins attended. PSV Eindhoven 4-1 win (against a strong PSV line up) and Sporting Lisbon 2-0 away in UEFA run in 2008 the others. (I wasn’t at Bayern, Juventus, Leeds or Parma wins).

I’m old enough to remember us beating PSV in ‘78, but the 4-1 demolition in ‘99 was sensational.

They were a very good side, former European Champions, and we just took them apart.

I think I still have to vote for Bayern in ‘72 though.

That’s the high water mark.

 

[PT98]

Hard to separate all the big ones that have been mentioned but I'll always vote for Lyon, purely cos I was at it. Amazing night.

 

[Bumplittledipper]

Inter 84, 3-1
D Kiev 2-0
Lyon 3-0 away

 

[Bumplittledipper]

85 I think, big McLelland as striker

It was 84

I still say the Marseilles team we drew with twice was the best team I've ever seen at Ibrox, to claw two goals back against them made the draw feel like a victory, they were a truly world class team. I don't think you could ever call a draw a 'best result', but in the circumstances it comes close!

 

[Ronnietheranger]

We got knocked out 3-2 by Inter in 1965 - we beat them 1-0 at Ibrox.

They were the holders and went on to win it again that season.

They were also the reigning World Club Champions and a fantastic side.

Aw Naw. I’ve got us -4

 

[Neilstonger]

Beating Bayern 2-0 is our best result.

Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Georg Schwarzenbeck, Paul Breitner,

Everyone of them a world class player.

 

[Grimsdale]

3 1 against Inter Milan cant remember which year big Jock Wallace was manager.

Think it was 1984.

 

[Bannerman]

Juventus 2-0 in '78

My thoughts exactly, and all the more impressive given the number of Italian Internationals in their side - nine I think. From my recollections at the time, at least eight teams had lost the first leg of a European tie 1-0 yet we were the only side to progress to the next round.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

PSV first team to beat them at home in Europe? Juve, Leeds, Lyon, Florence, Parma And Bayern Munich semi off top of my head

 

[grangers]

Eindhoven 2-3

 

[Partickger]

Beating arsenal 3.0 in gdansk europa league final may 2020

no chance Arsenal will get to the final.

 

[ionasdad]

Beating the Russian Champions Vlaikavkaz 7.2 away from home in 1996 must be worth a mention

 

[Bambam]

Parma '99
Inter Milan '65

That Parma team was incredible. One of our best wins for sure.

 

[Chastu]

1972

 

[gi joe]

I see a lot choosing Bayern 72 in the Cup Winners Cup but for me Juventus in 78 in the European Cup is our best euro result.

Beating the Russian Champions Vlaikavkaz 7.2 away from home in 1996 must be worth a mention

I like that you mention this one. I had a valid visa because I had been to the Former Soviet Union (as it was then called) with a view to moving out there. My wife and I had also learned Russian (only a ptitiful amount of which I speak now) Our company was broken up by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission and I took voluntary redundancy. I had my voluntary redundancy and sold my flat in London to return to Scotland so we were cash rich and went out there.

We were in the main entrance section of the ground.The crowd was hostile pre-match but by the end of the game they were cheering every Rangers touch, singing "Glasgow, Glasgow" and desperate for our scarves and any memorabilia they could get their hands on. They felt we were a proper football team, and it was a great time to be a Rangers fan.

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Bayern Munich 1972, there’s no comparison. Half their team were in the West German National Team and won the World Cup a few years later. The likes of Beckenbauer were in that team.

 

[stevie221]

Bayern at home was my first game at Ibrox in almost 3 years, and this trumps the lot because they truly were possibly the best team in the world at the time, going on to win European Cups and make up the core of West Germany's World Cup-winning team.

Holland for PSV (and a great John Greig team) and Lyon were special memories because those teams were riding high at the time.

Also being there with my late dad means I cherish those memories even more.
