Rangers celebrated.
Dynamo protested, UEFA ignored the protest, the result stayed. Rightly or wrongly, Dynamo lost. Yes, there was pitch invasion by Rangers’ fans, cutting the game a few minutes shorter than regulated time. Yes, there was possiblity for equalizing goal.
Glasgow Rangers won the Cup – their ony Europen trophy so far. A bit tainted too – nothing wrong with the players, but their fans interupted the final beforev time. Yet, a great success.
