RANGERS have reached four European Finals in their history, winning the Cup-Winners’ Cup in 1972, but during the 1992-93 season the Ibrox side were just one game away from reaching the European Champions League Final against Milan. Marseille went on to win the final 1-0.

BILLY (Larkhall) – I attended the Rangers v Marseille friendly last Saturday at Ibrox and it brought back memories of the 1992-93 European run. Could you provide details of both matches in that campaign?

On matchday one Rangers hosted Marseille at Ibrox. The French side took a two-goal lead with goals from Alen Boksic and Rudi Voller.

Andy Goram, the Rangers keeper, kept the score down. Rangers scored twice in the last 15 minutes through Gary McSwegan and Mark Hateley to finish 2-2.

The second game also ended in a draw with future Hibs player Franck Sauzee scoring for the French side before Ian Durrant equalised for the Gers.

Later results in the competition did not go Rangers way and Marseille would go on to win the cup.

GORDON DRYSDALE (East Kilbride) – My father took me to see Celtic play in their first League Cup section game in 1967. This, of course, was just after their “Lisbon Lions” season, when they won everything. I know Celtic won the game 1-0 with a goal in injury-time. But who were they playing and who scored the goal?

Dundee United were Celtic’s opponents that day in August 13, 1967.

Jimmy Johnstone scored the goal when he knocked in a rebound shot after his header was parried by United goalie Don MacKay.

ROBERT (Uddingston) – I heard that Queen’s Park were the first Scottish club to appear on TV but I always thought it had been Hibs. Can you clear this up?

Queen’s Park were indeed the first club to feature on television although the Scottish national team had previously featured as far back as the Wembley international in 1938.

The Spiders travelled south for a challenge match with Isthmian League side and fellow amateurs Walthamstow Avenue on March 26, 1951 (Easter Monday).

The game formed part of the East London side’s Jubilee Celebrations and was shown live on the BBC with a 3.15pm kick-off.

As television was still in its infancy only viewers in the London and Midland areas saw the match which the Spiders won 2-0 with both goals coming from Derek Grierson.

Ironically, television came to Scotland almost exactly 12 months later on March 14, 1952.

On October 22 that year the second half only of Hibs visit to Arsenal was shown live for the few people who would have had access to a set.

Despite fielding all of their Famous Five forward line the Gunners won by a convincing score of 7-1.

So whilst Queen’s Park can lay claim to be the first Scottish side to feature on the small screen, Hibs were the first to be televised in Scotland.
