Rangers FC: Battle of Britain - Rule Britannia

1999 • 60 min • United Kingdom

These were the European Cup matches everyone wanted to - the Champions of Scotland versus the Champions of England - the Battle of Britain! Now you can relive over and over again Leeds' stunning opening goal at Ibrox which was superbly overturned twice as Rangers and over 40,000 fanatical supporters roared into the English Champions. Even that superb night, however, was surpassed as Rangers went on to produce their finest 90 minutes to break the hearts of Leeds United. All the magic of that evening from Hateley's devastating opener to Ally's fantastic header for the second goal is captured forever. This specially packaged 60-minute film features all the highlights plus exclusive interviews with players and manager Walter Smith. Adding to the pleasure is the English television commentary which refuses to believe that the pride of England is out of Europe.
