[@darrendouglas3704]

How good was Durranty .English Champions midfield McAllister,Strachan ,Speed,Batty all internationals & Durranty stood out .His movement always wanting on the ball ,looking one two ,first thought can I pass forward .If never got the horrific injury( Proud of Club standing by him giving him every opportunity recover no matter cost or time) I've no doubt Souness would've loved taken Durrant down South & beaming with joy at Durranty performance v Leeds .Like Gazza ,Durranty had natural ability coming through youth Big Jock Wallace gave a young Durrant his debut & with great Cooper who influenced Durrant ,say don't be afraid make mistakes to out & enjoy using natural ability . Simply Class was the Blue & White Dynamite. After the game Sir Alex Ferguson was in Rangers dressing room congratulating Walter & Archie .

Celtic fan but I remember watching this game and kinda cheering on Rangers. Yea, there is the obvious rivalry but we are all Scots, and beating an English side is always good in my book. Especially as they are so condescending of Scottish football.

Fair play uploading this considering being a Leeds fan 👍..

[@ThefightingCelt]

As a Celtic, it was the one and only time I hoped for a Rangers victory. Why ? Because, just like the original " battle of Britain (Celtic v Leeds 1970 ), Rangers were written off by the English media, just as Celtic were before their matches against Leeds - and in 1992, as in 1970, the Scottish champions emerged victorious, both defeating the Leeds teams home and away.

[@matthewhilton2979]

I remember watching rangers that year as I was at high school in 92. Such a shame they couldn't get the win at ibrox against cska Moscow to reach a European final. Sadly the few campaigns after that were bad ones as they got battered by Juventus, ajax etc I always wanted to see Scottish sides compete back then. Still do as a Scottish football fan I always get behind our clubs in europe as it's so tough against these sides. Bit of financial backing to our clubs and the best of coaches would be lovely to see in 2021

[@jacksonbow2766]

The lack of money doesn't meanwe cannot compete. Look at what Jim Mcleans Dundee United in the 80s. What holds Scottish football back in Europe is a lack of loyalty and standards from within our game and culture. People look at Sir Alex Feeguson as a God but he gave the majority of his managerial career to English football. 27 to England and only 6 to Scotland. We still lose all those who show any talent. Aberdeen had an opportunity to hire an elite manager recently after Derek McInnes and Stephen glass but they didnt, they aimed low and got a low calibre of coach. Just like the majority of chairmen in Scotland, a lack of ambition. That's our football.

[@matthewhilton2979]

@@jacksonbow2766 certainly agree with you the club owners in Scotland aim low they are happy to finish 3rd or 4th no ambition mate in my humble opinion. I do think if Aberdeen or dundee United hibs hearts, etc showed that they wanna break old firm dominance then they gotta try get coaches that have won trophies in bigger leagues look at steven Gerrard he played at highest level with liverpool and england came to rangers won the league and took them to knockout stages of europa league which was massive improvement to where they were. Now van bronckhorst in charge doing rangers pretty well so far. I think if hibs or Aberdeen got in guys like a rio Ferdinand or someone who can attract better quality to Scotland and inspire our own youth it gotta be better than what our clubs do at present like you say no ambition mate.

[@jacksonbow2766]

@@matthewhilton2979 Thank you bud. You may have experienced the negative reaction to our statements with other supporters. I have been called all sorts for saying what we have said. I said about Jack Ross having a better win ratio in his career than Goodwin and I got slated. I honestly thought with how Aberdeen have been showing themselves with the New training ground and new stadium plans etc. That they would have got someone like the Bodo/Glimt manager or bigger. Put the manager on the biggest contract. He'll, they could have even tried for Lampard, he would have refused but we don't know unless we try. This is the mentality all over Scottish football though. Our own SFA and SPFL are like it. £30 million per season from Sky yet the EPL gets £1.7 BILLION. Sky have the money but don't want to pay it, so we should say bugger off to them until they pay. The Old Firm always get the blame for the rest of Sctland not trying, it's a childish attitude. The past has proven that when the right, stubborn and driven manager comes into another club then the Old Firm can be broken. Bob Shankly with Dundee in 62 was it. Jim Mclean with Dundee Utd Fergie with Aberdeen The 1st 2 clubs had no money yet achieved so much and that was down to the managers not accepting anything but 100% and a win every game, no matter who they played. Under Shankly, Dundee reached the Semi-final of the European cup ffs, Imagine that these days lol.

I wonder if anyone remembers the game 1968 Leeds vs Rangers in the old inter cities fairs cup, when many of us Leeds fans watched the game at Elland Rd, on closed circuit TV with huge screens as they played the game in Glasgow…definitely a novelty then. I recall Colin Stein was the main striker for Rangers. Only snag was the game was in black and white

U here Ron Atkinson on that saying something like we went toe to toe with a European big club and won, said it almost like we’re a small club! Not being nasty but we’re way, way bigger than Leeds. And one of the best supported in Britain 🇬🇧, that’s actually factual. The Leeds players that played the night of the game at Ibrox still talk about the atmosphere as the best they’ve heard, Gary Mac for example! We just gunned them down in those games! Although you do see how different football was then.
