Disclaimer: I said Dunfermline beat Valencia 5-1, it was 6-2. Probably got it mixed up with just about every other team winning a game 5-1 at some point.
For Rangers in the modern era, I would also add beating Lyon 3-0 away in 2007, beating Ruud Van Nistelrooys' PSV 4-1and beating Parma 2-0 in 1999, who were reigning UEFA Cup champions at the time.
Scottish football was immensely strong . The Scottish players who ended up playing for English clubs in the 60s , 70s and 80s were enough in numbers to constitute an army battalion . Those who stayed at home - so to speak - also made up an army division of very talented players . I always admired Scottish football . ALL the English clubs who won European Trophies in the 60s , 70s and 80s before 1985 had in their teams CRUCiAL Scottish players with the exception of West Ham in 1965 ECWC ; Manchester City in 1970 ECWC and Everton in 1985 ECWC .. plus Liverpool pre - DALGLiSH , HANSEN , NiCOL etc .. LEEDS Utd . BB, EG, PL etc ; NEWCASTLE bobby MONCUR ; the ARSE .. McLiNTOCK et al ; Tottenham = jW (McKAY didnae play in the final ECWC 1963) ; CHELSEA .. Mc CREADiE & the brilliant Charlie COOKE .. ; Ipswich = WARK with a massive 14 goals on their way to winning the UEFA Cup - for real ; NOtts Forest .. jR et al ; and then ASTON ViLLA EC81(?) and Manchester United EC68 possibly Paddy CRERAND with Denis Law helping them get to the final but missing it.
Hibs 5-0 victory over Napoli was even more impressive, considering they had lost the first leg 4-1 in Italy & Napoli had players like Dino Zoff in their team
Dundee United have played Barcelona 4 time in European competitions home and away and have a 100% record Dundee got to the semis of the inter cities cup forerunner of UEFA cupin 1968 losing to Leeds Hibs played at Firhill due to winter weather in Sweden
Hiya Callum, when Celtic won the European cup and Rangers won the European Cup Winners Cup, it was before I was born, but I can remember Aberdeen winning the European Cup Winners Cup V Real Madrid, I watched the final live, they were good times under Alex Ferguson, this is Choppy
Must have been great to watch. Closest I can actually remember watching were Celtics champions league games against Manchester United and Rangers run to the Europa League final a few years back. Would like to see Hearts/Aberdeen etc go on a run.
Me again. Re Dujardens. Sweden is cauld is genuinely the reason. Also my favourite fact that Firhill is the 2nd Scottish/British ground to host a European game
Small correction, Callum. A scorer for St Johnstone (vs Hamburg) was Henry HALL, not 'Henry Hill' as stated. Trust me, I was at the game! Surprised Saint's win against Lucerne and draw against Monaco didn't feature.
Others have probably mentioned this, but Hibs didn't draw 1-1 with Liverpool at Easter Road in 1975/76, they won 1-0 and missed a penalty, which would, assuming the game had ended 2-0 and the 2nd leg had still been 3-1 to Liverpool, have seen Hibs through on away goals. There is also of course their elimination of Barcelona in the Fairs Cup 7-6 on aggregate in Season 1960-61, complete with the cops having to enter the pitch to rescue the ref from the Barca players during the Catalan's 3-2 2nd leg defeat in Edinburgh, them beating Malmo 6-0 at Easter Rd in 1970-71 (for the life of me, I can't recall the result when they played them again in 2013/14!), beating Sporting Lisbon 6-1 at Easter Rd in the 1972/73 Cup Winner's Cup, 7-1 against Besa that same season and 9-1 against Rosenborg in the 1974/75 UEFA Cup. True, putting 5 past Dino Zoff, against Napoli (coming back from 4-1 down in the 1st leg), does rank amongst their best European results right enough! Other honourable mentions include, eliminating FC Porto in 67/68, and only losing on penalties to Don Revie's, Leeds in 1973/74 (the 2nd time they'd gone out of Europe narrowly to them), going out only on away goals to both SV Hamburg in 1968/69 and Anderlecht in 1992/93, also coming desperately close against Hadjuk Split in the 1972/73 Cup Winners Cup Quarter Finals, Roma in the 1960/61 Fairs Cup Semis (when away goals, if they had been used, would have seen Hibs through to the Final!) and beating Videoton 3-0 away in the 1989/90 UEFA Cup. There was also a missed header in the closing minutes causing them to narrowly miss eliminating AEK Athens from the UEFA Cup in Season 2001/2002. (Still further honourable mentions include eliminating both Tottenham and Newcastle (the latter 4-0) in the 1953 Coronation Cup and wins against Real Madrid (2-0, 1st Scottish club to beat them!) and Man United (7-2) in friendlies!) In short, I don't think most people would think the win against Djugaarden was the apex of Hibs' European achievements. And by the way, I think the latter's pitch was frozen and unplayable, causing their "home" tie to be played at Firhill!
@CallumBlyth no worries mate, just having a wee joke with you. Cracking content, mate. I'm actually named after him. I was born in the late 60s. A lot of guys are called Stevie around my age and he's the reason 🤣🤣
Yeah there’s a bunch of people who go by their middle name rather than first name, I think there was one of the Aberdeen players I did the same thing with
I remember rushing home from school to watch Inter v Celtic in 1967. Also, didn't a Feyenoord player wear glasses against the Celts in the '70 EC final?
Wow, that’s some drop off. I wonder if there’s any teams in Scotlands third tier who played European football within the last 15 years? (Stares at Inverness again)
@@CallumBlyth Yup, Back2back relegations to the 3rd tier. However they've bounced back since and finished in playoffs 2 years running (Even losing a P.O final against a 90+11 minute goal)
The Dunfermline stuff is erratic - their home attendance at the ECWC v Slovan semi was around the 16,500 - not sure where the 25,000 came from. As corrected, the score v Valencia in Fife was 6-2, that made them the first British club to overcome a 4 goal deficit in European competitions eventually matched by QPR season 1985/85. Their best result in Europe was arguably beating "Bank of England" Everton 2-1 on aggregate in the 1962/62 Fairs Cup - the Toffees first venture into European competitions in the same season they became English League champions. Jock Stein was in the early stages of his legendary managerial career - Harry Catterick thought the tie would be a straightforward qualification to the next round - quite an error of judgement.
@@maconescotland8996 Said 25,000 on the Wikipedia article (I know probably not the most trustworthy source) and I didn’t know the context around the Bank of Everton. Thanks for the additional info though
I only knew 2-3 of these. Didn't know Scottish clubs hadn't had such surprising results in European competitions, was fun to find out. Also, didn't Motherwell play Borussia Dortmund once in Europe ? And, can the current Airdrieonians claim the results and silverware of the old Airdrieonians ?
Ah shit my bad, completely misheard that one. Cracking video by the way, although I'm in England I follow Hearts and Scottish football more broadly so really like your content
You did say Sofia. BTW, east European teams back in the day tended to be army teams if they were CSKA, Dinamo was police, Locomotive railway workers and Torpedo the navy (although I think only Moscow had a Torpedo side)
I’ve corrected myself in a future video but yeah his full name is Thomas Stephen Chalmers so that’s where I’ve got it from. Didn’t realise he was know as Stevie Chalmers.
Got to laugh at Falkirk and Raith rovers they only played 2 game in their Europe history..that why they hate the pars so much because pars played 9 seasons in Europe got to semifinals Europe cup winners cup ??
John Black, Tommy Chalmers, Hibs runners up in 1955? They were 5th behind Aberdeen, Celtic, Rangers and Hearts. Omitting Hearts win in Basel and the comeback v Leipzig (to include Siroki Brijeg and Rosenborg!) Stopped watching there. Sorry, Callum, needs re-edited big time.
