Shelbourne v Rangers Uefa Cup 1998

Highlights of Shelbourne v Rangers in the Uefa Cup on the 22nd of July 1998 which was Dick Advocaat's first game in charge. Shelbourne were 3-0 up before two goals from Jorg Albertz, a fantastic strike from Gio van Bronckhorst and two more from Gabriel Amato set Rangers up for an easy win!

Was working at Sky that night on the phones trying to watch the game which was on one of the television screens in the call centre. I could not quite believe it when they scored a third !

[@mhendry39]

Rangers1972, thanks for this.....I've lived in the USA since 1996 and this is the very first time I have seen the Game v Shelbourne.......I, for one, very much appreciate your efforts.

[@lyallbaybum69]

For fucks sake,can we do without all the bullshit bogotry?I am a Rangers fan who was mightily relieved that night when a plucky wee Shelbourne team did themselves proud.I am a Scotsman and do not wish to associate myself as being British.Very proud of my Dublin-born nanna too! I support football,not bigotry. Go the Gers.Champions again in twenty-ten!

[@eoinh1]

good to see two plucky tiny clubs putting on an exciting game. Since then the Irish game has continued to go up the rankings slowly and the scottish game has fallen slowly. Since that game no Scottish club has beaten an Irish club in Europe.

[@abhouston1]

😂😂😂😂 Irish game is dogshit

[@andyf7973]

We'll see if cork get through who's shit pal....

[@leggie65]

Rangers cannot play in the Republic due to riots in Ireland in dundalk in the 60s, Dublin in the 80s the Irish league never took the chance against shelbourne so played it at tranmere 90 miles outside shelbourne Rangers will never play down south cos they beat the shit out the local hard men, police and women coming to save them 😂. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@leggie65]

Scots games fallen has it tell me the last time a Irish team got to the last 16 of the Europa league in successive seasons nearly beating teams and playing well is what counts lads it's the winning UP THE RANGERS BRITAINS SUPREME SUPPORT

[@funnyjoke2316]

now the scottish game is 9th in europe while the irish game is behind the northern irish game in 46th place

Good Friday Agreement was in its infancy. Neither side needed a hoard of beered up Rangers fans causing mayhem in Dublin. Send them to the Wirral, they can’t do any damage there.

[@leggie65]

Celtic can play in Ireland anytime but for Rangers uefa have banned us from ever playing in the Republic that's why the games played in England mate.

[@Kieran84ire]

I think Shels put money on themselves to lose because they played absolute kack in the 2nd half!

@TheIdentCritic Its was actualy due to fears of Sectarian Violence

[@lyallbaybum69]

"Do without" me? I don't want to see the club suffer anymore,financially,due to bigots spouting their hatred(and these days IT IS a minority)and copping fines.As far as my disassociation from 'Britain',when Scotland initially signed the Union with England,it paved the way for many amazing benefits for the Scottish people.Sadly,over the last 30 years,it has done little to improve the quality of life for the majority of people and bled us dry of our resources that could have had the opposite

[@fraser_mr2009]

rangers weren't gelled yet

[@leggie65]

After what the gers fans did in dublin in 84 uefa do not want them back in eire so shelbournechose to play in tranmere rovers ground.Iwas in dublin that night and at the final whistle i did not know the fnal score cause iwatched the gers fans batter the gardai into oblivion some night even though we got beat

[@cutekanjii]

terrible how a scottish team cant travel to ireland because those fenians cant control themselves and their hatred yet the most irish team out even more irish than the rep of irelands national team have been playing in scotland for over a hundred years. then complain because they arent liked well how do you think rangers would fair playing in the irish league? you think they would be welcomed, i dont think so somehow!

[@crashingdown6924]

Rangers refused to come to Dublin. Aberdeen didn't gretna didn't linfield didn't glentoran didn't crusaders didn't you get it?

[@ritchiemullins6384]

The Huns are can't control themselves u mean?

[@cutekanjii]

@@ritchiemullins6384 no the indigenous glaswegian was very tolerant since celtic fc exists as if they weren't it would have never been allowed in the first place. I think had the majority of them seen into the future they wouldn't have allowed asylum seekers here they'd have made them go elsewhere like down south or to one of the uninhabited Western Isles so I think the indigenous Glasgow folk were extremely kind to take in the Irish travellers only for their descendants to be abused and called "huns" even though that's what the Irish travellers themselves were called by the percentage who didn't want them here

@Mad Man 1 urgh... That was a one off match... I'm talking about of it was permanent

[@lyallbaybum69]

-effect. This shouldn't be interpreted as being Anti-English,its just my opinion and in a democracy,it should be heard.Perhaps your comment is a slight on my Irish bloodline? If so,I would take it for granted that you are a regular at services in the Church of Scotland every sunday? Thats what bothers me the most...The Bigots i encounter at Ibrox have little to do with their own religion so therefore should avoid the subject.Peace to all,enjoy the game and lets hope for a speedy return to SPL...

BOHS beat Aberdeen in Europe since then !

leggie must have been at a different match in '84 judging by the constant supply of ambulances ferrying battered and broken huns from dalymount shopping centre.dont think i ever saw a supermarket cleared of tinned veg and fruit so quickly.perhaps he wasnt in one of their busses that had to divert out of dublindue to the welcoming committees that bombared them into smithereens on their way up to Irelands second biggest city belfast.ha ha orange utangs.
