[@sannabheag]

Tremendous night, remember in well. My daughter was born in Raigmore Hospital and I watched this through a haze of cigar smoke and drams. Rooted for United as a Tic fan. RIP Ian Redford

[@jodders1610]

RIP Ian Redford. A true legend. Whatever team you played for you were loved by all fans. I remember those wonderful European nights with great fondness. Thanks for the memories and rest easy!

[@johnmacrae6375]

Ian redford was world class i remember that night and the uefa cup final against gothenburg even as a gers fan i was rooting for united they were world class along with Aberdeen.RIP Ian Redford

[@wayfinder6715]

Aye he was a class act, Iain Ferguson too

[@jaysea32]

Scottish football was respected back then.Well done Utd,from a Celtic fan.

كان عمري 12 سنة ونتفكر المباراة النهائية بين ديندي يوتايتد الأسكتلندي و قوتبورغ السويدي ... ذكريات لن أنساها

[@timeismyeverything]

Best moment as a Utd fan. RIP Ian Redford. Sad, sad news of his passing. :-(

[@PanzerZHansen]

RIP Ian Redford. One of my best fitba nights.

[@johnnyM809]

Ian Redford was a superb player for every team he played for...what a performance from Dundee United that was. Imagine a Scottish team now going to play a top German side in their own stadium and getting a result like that

[@TheLowerIntestine]

He didn't really set the heather on fire at Rangers though. He was at his best at United.

[@alanlappin6674]

It’s only 18yrs since Celtic went to Stuttgart and got the required result. But I get where you’re coming from.

[@markroberts868]

@@alanlappin6674 Only the eighteen years then,ffs.

[@IgirisuNoGema]

I remember watching this live. That second goal... Awesome!

[@GrahamByrne63]

wish we could bring back those European nights...a cracking finish by the late ian redford...great player.

[@callummcgregorenthusiast5545]

Wish I was born then to see Scottish clubs actually compete like this in Europe. Would love to see United and Aberdeen back to anything like they were however unlikely it is because of modern football

[@urbankhat65]

Ian Redford RIP.

[@michaeldoogan2873]

Timbuk2 fan here. Great United team did not concede a goal to Gothenburg in the final. The ball was outside the post but squirmed under the side net. Look it up on KZbin.

[@lyallbaybum69]

I still have my Borussia cap,given to me after the game! Such a famous history,why are they not challengers for the Bundesliga anymore?

[@TanaHandbag]

@sqwertery As a fellow Rangers fan I was also cheering for United in that game, the ones against Barca and the final - great times. Same for Aberdeen in their 83 cup winners cup win - I almost hit the roof when Hewitt scored in ET. Can't say I was equally pro-Scottish teams in Seville though....:)

[@jimibhoy8935]

Everyone in Scotland wanted United and Aberdeen to win in Europe. They were fantastic teams. No surprise re-Sevilla. Same this season, if by some miracle you lot get there 😉

[@wonjubhoy]

I wasn't pro Scottish in Seville last year myself.

[@gdickson2793]

God bless ian redford this was a geat united team back then, shame they are nowhere near what they were back then now. Rangers fan 😉

[@wayfinder6715]

Last time they played rangers United had a decent team... Andy Robertson, Gauld, Armstrong, Ciftci, Makay Stevens. 3-1 in a. semi at Ibrox. Rangers much stronger now, but United would be up for it with Shankland. See you next season ;)

[@scottmartin1824]

Wonderful player Rip from a Tim

[@davidharris3914]

Fantastic team were the tangerines for 7 or 8 years just so unlucky not to have a European trophy to their name

[@andrewjohnston2850]

definitely should of won a lot more that they did

[@thegreathadoken6808]

Ref was a disgrace

[@stephensimpson4022]

How could they beat Barca and Borrusia and not beat Gothenburg. Baffling.

[@bebmeister656]

IFK Goteborg were one of the best teams in Europe in the 1980s. They won the UEFA Cup twice and were very close to a European Cup final in 1986.

[@dundeeunitedfc5237]

Dufc was far too tired after the St mirren in the Sfa final .utds I Ferguson.goal was wrongly Ruled out .uefa final was one game to much...Stu.dufc.shedrule

[@lokismig]

It is something that usually happens, when you think you have a more affordable rival, it is normal that you can fall into overconfidence. It is true that Borussia and Barcelona were teams that had played and won several European finals, but Goteborg in the 1980s was also at a high level and could beat many big teams.

[@tangerinedreamer50]

The refs a tadger

[@lyallbaybum69]

Ha ha ha ha ha . Who remembers the Germans writing utd off?

[@lokismig]

You haven't seen much football, Borussia Mëchengladbach in the 70's played 5 continental finals. In the 80s it was not so powerful anymore, but it was always a team that nobody wanted to meet on the road.

[@wonjubhoy]

@@lokismig their fans had already made arrangements for the final. This was despite Dundee United beating their team 5-0 just a few years before.

[@lokismig]

@@wonjubhoy It is normal for their fans to already think about the final, especially when they had achieved a good result in the first leg.

[@janbanan7768]

But IFK screw you up really good in the final:-)
