Spurs similar run has ended up benefitting Chelsea massively.

I was reading some pieces about Rangers winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1972, as all I remembered at the time was the 3-2 win in the final and the scenes after the game. I was unaware of their semi-final win over Bayern Munich, who, according to the writer, included Beckenbauer and Muller. Which was true of course, but they also included four other guys from the West Germany side that won the Euros a month or so later and the WC two years later. Not to mention that many of the Bayern side featured when they won the European Cup 3 years on the trot from 1974 to 1976. Beating that lot over two legs really was an outstanding performance. The other interesting result was when they beat Sporting Lisbon on away goals in the second round. Unfortunately the referee was unaware of the away goals rule, and told the teams to play a penalty shoot-out, which Lisbon won. So Rangers were out until someone dug out the rule book, which may make them the only side to win a tie after losing a penalty shoot-out. Anyway, good luck on Wednesday.

Yeah, the 1972 win against Bayern Munich in the semis is the best ever result by a Scottish side in Europe.
This feels different to 2008 because we've been beating sides rather than not losing to them this time round. And given we've (deservedly) beaten both Dortmund and Leipzig on route, there's no reason we should fear Frankfurt.

I love how you post filthy trolls like this even though we have no Celtic fan posters, just on the off chance that one might wander in.

Hardly a filthy troll.
The majority of that Bayern side played for the West German side which won the European Championship a couple of months later; they also won the World Cup in 1974 and 3 European Cups in a row between 1974 and 1976.
Beating them 2-0 at Ibrox to make a European final was an amazing result.

It's the theme to Local Hero isn't it?
