it. 468 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,200 By the scruff of the neck and... 469 00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:12,700 and he rebuilt the stadium. 470 00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:14,467 Everything. 471 00:21:15,367 -->

testimony to the people that died. 478 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,233 So as it would never, ever happen again. 479 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,833 Least he can do for the people who died that day 480 00:21:36,433 --> 00:21:39,067 is to rebuild Ibrox itself. 481 00:21:39,733 --> 00:21:41,300 And he knows that in the short term 482 00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:42,967 he has to... he has to get 483 00:21:42,967 --> 00:21:44,367 some sort of glory on the field. 484 00:21:45,433 --> 00:21:48,267 It's strange to say, but it seemed to bond everybody. 485 00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:51,200 You know that

00:23:40,733 At that time in the seventies, there were three European 527 00:23:40,733 --> 00:23:41,800 trophies up for grabs. 528 00:23:42,367 --> 00:23:43,267 Rangers qualified 529 00:23:43,433 -->

qualified as runners up. 536 00:23:56,467 --> 00:23:57,433 So it was by 537 00:23:57,533 --> 00:23:59,433 default, effectively, that Rangers 538 00:23:59,433 --> 00:24:02,433 found themselves,

very first game we had drawn in 567 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,333 France against Stade Rennes, which we obviously thought 568 00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:29,267 was gonna be a good draw. 569 00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:32,767 But we hadnae started the season very well. 570 00:25:33,733 --> 00:25:35,133 We were outsiders, total outsiders. 571 00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,300 You wouldnae put a bet on us in the

fragile, defensively. 575 00:25:43,633 --> 00:25:44,700 I think Willie Waddell 576 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,233 and Jock Wallace was still striving 577 00:25:46,233 --> 00:25:47,700 to come up with the best combination, 578 00:25:48,133 --> 00:25:49,667 particularly at the heart of the defense. 579 00:25:50,367 --> 00:25:51,267 So Rangers had to find a formula that stopped this French flair 580 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,067 So Rangers had to find a formula that stopped this French flair 581 00:25:55,567 --> 00:25:57,267 and they did it by the high press. 582 00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:59,800 They would look for their star man, 583 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,700 and try and minimise his impact 584 00:26:02,867 --> 00:26:03,500 within the rules... 585 00:26:04,667 --> 00:26:06,867 or sometimes outside the rules. 586 00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,833 It wasn't a spectacle from a fan's perspective. 587 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,533 But my goodness, it was effective. 588 00:26:14,233 --> 00:26:16,367 Marcell Aubour I think was the goalkeeper, 589 00:26:16,433 --> 00:26:17,600 Keruzoré and Betta 590 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,467 were their kind of playmakers in midfield. 591 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,533 And it was Willie Waddell's tactics 592 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,367 And it was Willie Waddell's tactics 593 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,633 He put John Greig and Alex

And then they got that, 754 00:33:09,633 --> 00:33:10,700 and they come right into it then. 755 00:33:12,733 --> 00:33:13,900 they lost one goal, 756 00:33:14,267 --> 00:33:17,433 then they lost a... a goal very close to the end 757 00:33:17,867 --> 00:33:19,567 to make it a very nervy finish. 758 00:33:20,067 --> 00:33:22,300 I probably should not have lost two goals. 759 00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,933 You know, I can't remember if I was playing at the back 760 00:33:24,967 --> 00:33:25,867 or in midfield... 761 00:33:26,567 --> 00:33:27,967 I was possibly playing at the back 762 00:33:28,733 --> 00:33:30,233 so it's probably my fault. 763 00:33:31,067 --> 00:33:33,700 3-2 at home's not really a good result to go 764 00:33:34,533 --> 00:33:35,733 to the second game away. 765 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,333 If they can score two goals here 766 00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:39,367 what can they do at home? 767 00:33:43,867 --> 00:33:46,867 UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC 768 00:33:48,367 -->

really finish off 772 00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:56,533 what had been started. 773 00:33:56,533 --> 00:33:57,900 And the journey to the second game 774 00:33:57,900 --> 00:33:58,700 was incredible. 775

because of an injury, whether he was gonna play or not. 1736 01:13:46,067 --> 01:13:48,167 I had fractured my metatarsal joint. 1737 01:13:48,633 --> 01:13:50,833 In the morning of the match when I woke up, I couldnae 1738 01:13:50,833 --> 01:13:52,733 put my foot on the ground, I was in agony. 1739 01:13:57,067 --> 01:13:59,133 Waddell 110% wanted John Greig to play. 1740 01:13:59,133 --> 01:14:01,300 Waddell 110% wanted John Greig to play. 1741 01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:02,800 I don't think he was fit, 1742 01:14:03,133 --> 01:14:04,600 but there was no way he wasnae going to play like, 1743 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:05,833 that was John Greig. 1744 01:14:06,633 --> 01:14:07,533 Make no mistake, 1745 01:14:08,367 --> 01:14:09,733 John Greig should not have played 1746 01:14:10,233 --> 01:14:11,300 in the final, in Barcelona. 1747 01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:13,867 But somehow the medics patched him up. 1748 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,867 And saying that, I think they probably would need to 1749 01:14:16,867 --> 01:14:18,067 have anesthetized him 1750 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:19,300 not to have him play. 1751 01:14:20,333 --> 01:14:22,933 I remember arriving very early at the stadium 1752 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,967 and the Rangers supporters were on the pitch 1753 01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:30,367 and it was like Sunday strolling in the park, 1754 01:14:30,700 --> 01:14:31,500 walking all over the pitch 1755 01:14:31,967 --> 01:14:33,533 with the police just looking at them. 1756 01:14:33,533 --> 01:14:37,100 It was so friendly, as if the Spaniards were saying, 1757 01:14:37,533 --> 01:14:39,067 "Welcome to Barcelona." 1758 01:14:41,300 --> 01:14:42,733 Fans invading the park. 1759 01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,067 It was well known, it was done for years. 1760 01:14:45,967 --> 01:14:47,467 That in itself 1761 01:14:47,467 --> 01:14:49,933 contained the seeds of what happened later. 1762 01:14:50,567 --> 01:14:53,167 because the police really should have been saying 1763 01:14:53,367 --> 01:14:54,833 "This is sacred territory. 1764 01:14:54,900 --> 01:14:55,700 You don't get on it." 1765 01:14:58,633 --> 01:14:59,400 When we drove in 1766 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:00,600 to get into the Nou Camp, 1767 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:02,900 it was just like going into Ibrox, 1768 01:15:02,900 --> 01:15:03,933 it was a mass of blue, 1769 01:15:03,933 --> 01:15:05,233 and in fact they were rocking the bus. 1770 01:15:06,067 --> 01:15:08,933 And it was deafening, and so that's the first time 1771 01:15:09,767 --> 01:15:11,967 we've seen or heard the crowd. 1772 01:15:12,333 --> 01:15:13,233 ORCHESTRAL MUSIC 1773 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,233 I remember getting very emotional, 1774 01:15:16,067 --> 01:15:18,700 seeing all the supporters with their scarves and their flags. 1775 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,267 Thinking to myself, 1776 01:15:20,900 --> 01:15:22,567 we've really got to do it this time for them. 1777 01:15:24,267 --> 01:15:26,467 There's always pressure on Rangers players, 1778 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:27,800 Rangers have to win. 1779 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,833 If you don't win you're gonna be criticized, 1780 01:15:34,067 --> 01:15:35,067 a lot. 1781 01:15:35,733 --> 01:15:38,933 By the papers, the fans, and probably, 1782 01:15:39,167 --> 01:15:41,800 if you're being honest, with yourself because 1783 01:15:43,167 --> 01:15:45,400 how big an opportunity is it, to play 1784 01:15:46,067 --> 01:15:48,133 Moscow Dynamo, in the Nou Camp 1785 01:15:48,733 --> 01:15:51,333 in front of Rangers supporters 1786 01:15:51,667 --> 01:15:54,067 because there was very few Russian supporters there. 1787 01:15:54,667 --> 01:15:56,533 It was like a home game to us. 1788 01:15:57,333 --> 01:15:59,467 We think we thought, "This is ours lads, 1789 01:15:59,867 --> 01:16:00,667 this is ours, 1790 01:16:00,933 --> 01:16:02,067 We've got to believe we can do this." 1791 01:16:03,367 --> 01:16:05,600 Deedle give to me what was a

it for yourself, do it for them" he says. 1801 01:16:28,100 --> 01:16:29,233 "And then you'll be heroes." 1802 01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:33,867 We'll probably not get another, another chance, you know. 1803 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,067 The last chance. 1804 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,067 MATCH WHISTLE 1805 01:16:39,533 --> 01:16:41,733 INTENSE MUSIC 1806 01:16:43,067 --> 01:16:44,067 Their main

the ball and made things happen. 1810 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,100 Willie Waddell I remember saying to John Greig he said, 1811 01:16:52,100 --> 01:16:54,400 "Hey, listen, the captain is their top man 1812 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:55,700 everything goes through him." 1813 01:16:56,333 --> 01:16:58,400 He says "I want you to sort him out early." 1814 01:16:58,867 --> 01:17:00,733 So the ball got centered, kicked back, 1815 01:17:00,733 --> 01:17:02,300 and it got played to Sabo, 1816 01:17:02,633 --> 01:17:03,700 and Greigy hit him. 1817 01:17:07,667 --> 01:17:08,867 He whacked the boy. 1818

01:17:14,500 and I thought, "Well, if I don't go in for this, 1822 01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:15,300 I'm gonna get hurt." 1823 01:17:15,467 --> 01:17:17,867 So I went in and clattered him and 1824 01:17:18,067 --> 01:17:20,167 he walked away without saying a word and I walked away. 1825 01:17:20,167 --> 01:17:20,933 So that was it. 1826 01:17:21,700 --> 01:17:24,300 Everyone in the stadium from a Rangers perspective went 1827 01:17:25,067 --> 01:17:25,933 "Captain's back." 1828 01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:27,867 That guy Sabo never kicked a ball, 1829 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:29,233 till late in
