who will ever forget, if you are old enough
rangers v dynamo kiev, 1987
ibrox packed to the girders, atmosphere crackling on a midweek under the floodlights
woods, nicholl, phillips, mcgregor, souness, butcher, francis, falco, coisty, durrant, and cohen,
what a night, super allys winner after mark falco scored, one of the finest nights of my 65 odd years of ibrox.
22 Jul 2024 14:07:39
Pitch narrowed by Souness as well, I actually forgot about that, read it earlier?20 n full of singing ginger on the big step.
22 Jul 2024 14:10:28
Remember it well TT12? what an atmosphere and graeme souness narrowed the pitch at ibrox for the occasion ?We had a superb team and what a team they had ie practically made up of the russian national team ?.
22 Jul 2024 14:22:51
Tt I still remember The noise.
22 Jul 2024 14:33:47
That was a brammer right enough. the young guns think they invented European nights. that was back when we scared the **** out of most European teams.
22 jul 2024 14:34:47
like thunder n lightning in the rainy season in bogota john, cracked like a bonfire,
a masterstroke by souey, who would have thought it was so long ago,
22 Jul 2024 14:36:22
1 year old. Remember it like yesterday ?.
22 Jul 2024 14:36:59
My 3 best atmospheres at ibrox were beating psv 4-1, or was it 4-2? I was in Copland rear.
Man Utd beat us 1-0 I was in west enclosure.
Beating Parma was it 2-1? Or 2-0?
That’s the 3 best I’ve experienced in my life I’m 38.
Parma was the best.

My first European night at Ibrox and different class!
22 jul 2024 14:39:33
i remember roberts failed a fitness test that night, think that's why mcgregor played, altho souey liked mcgregor, and avi cohen, it was great seein coisty and durranty going in against what was a very very good team at that time, it was the best night since the 70s.
22 Jul 2024 15:14:04
Was at the game atmosphere was something else.
22 jul 2024 15:22:20
for those who won't remember, or be aware, but during the 60 and 70s rangers were feared across europe, as were celtic, the english think europe fears man utd and chelsea, during those days it was the old firm they really feared
euroean nights at ibrox and parkhead were legendary, usually neeting at the many bus stops in the city centre on euro nights, occasional fights but much more healthy than now.
22 jul 2024 16:09:54
do you not remember me peeking into your pram and saying hello hello paul,
22 Jul 2024 17:49:25
2-0 in euro semi at ibrox was it hardline a scorer, and hibs semi final or final at hampden 100k plus if I remember right could not move my arms, crowd moved everyone moved, drop something and never see it again, tight fit ??.
22 Jul 2024 17:51:03
Remember like it was yesterday and such a good memory to have.
For this reason i hope we play Kiev.
Kiev and Leipzig for me both stick in my memory for European atmospheres at Ibrox.
22 Jul 2024 18:15:58
Vaguely. Still have nightmares about it tom ?? all seriousness. Best atmostphere in my time parma and leipzig.
22 Jul 2024 19:29:34
Add Leeds and Marseille to my list but I was in club deck for both those so maybe that’s the reason the atmosphere doesn’t quite stick in my memory.
Kiev was also my first European night which helps.
22 Jul 2024 19:38:30
Before anybody starts on me,
Absolutely nothing wrong with the club deck which I sat in for years as my family had 5 debenture seats,
I absolutely loved the Birds Eye view at the time.
22 Jul 2024 19:49:24
Liepzig was just an incredible night.
22 Jul 2024 21:01:51
Absolutely John, and I’m not sure the emotions from all in the stadium that night against Liepzig which added to the atmosphere can ever be replicated.
22 Jul 2024 21:22:13
Wasn’t lucky enough to be there at that time John I was otherwise engaged.
Looked better than any game I’ve ever attended.
22 Jul 2024 22:08:55
Remember cup semi final I think it was against Hibs at Hampden. Must have been late 60's, early 70's. Estimates of 125k there. Frightening at the end as me and my pal got swept out the stadium packed tight like sardines. Worse, we lost to a late goal from John Brownlie (one for the oldies! )
22 Jul 2024 22:42:19
Strum graz 5-1.
22 Jul 2024 23:08:21
I remember the game with Juventus, we won 2-1 Gordon Smith scored the winner, I was in the Centenary Stand ) Sandy Jardine now), great atmosphere that night also.
23 jul 2024 04:43:47
it was indeed irv.
