00:00
And match commentator, Gerry McNeigh.
00:07
And welcome to Ellen Broad, absolute bedlam here, a capacity crowd of some 24,000, and of course mainly Leeds fans.
00:17
Well, the last time Rangers played here in 1968, 50,000 people crowded into the ground, paying a grand total of £17,100.
00:25
Well, you can be sure that the gate receipts are much greater this evening.
00:31
It really is a terrific atmosphere, and certainly there are some Rangers fans in the crowd, but I would imagine they're keeping reasonably quiet.
00:39
It's reckoned about 1,000 fans travelled.
00:41
People were outside looking for tickets, which were going in sale for up to £150 per time.
00:49
So there's the Leeds United team.
00:51
They've lost David Batte because of injury, he's been replaced by David Roecastle, who was signed at the start of the season from Arsenal.
01:02
And Derek Cantona is preferred to Rod Wallace, who's on the bench.
01:06
So just the one change from the starting line-up at Ibrook Stadium.
01:10
Norwich for just over a million pounds.
01:13
Of course, he was a sub in the Skull Cup final recently.
01:15
And there's the Rangers line-up, just that one change, like Leeds United, Dale Gordon, as I said, in for Trevor Stephen.
01:22
Of course, with the three-four in the rule, Peter Hauschrist has had his injuries, Walter Smith has decided on Dale Gordon.
01:28
Alex Mikhailachenko is on the bench.
01:33
So there's the way Rangers will line up.
01:36
And Gordon will take the wide position, but normally Trevor Stephen has.
01:45
Well, the crowd noise tells it all as the Battle of Britain, part two, is just about to get underway.
01:52
The referee checking with his linesman Eric Cantona there, alongside Lee Chapman.
01:57
So the match underway.
01:59
And of course, the prize tonight is a mighty one financially, and in every other way.
02:08
It's insensitive to cut out by McAllister.
02:12
Well, Castle sending it through.
02:13
That's a great ball to Cantona.
02:15
He has the pace.
02:17
Andy Gorham managed to stop him there.
02:19
John Brankham in as well, with the Leeds fans are roaring.
02:21
But Andy Gorham did well.
02:23
But what a terrific ball that was through to Eric Cantona.
02:26
And already, Leeds showing what a threat they carry.
02:31
The offside flag goes up there.
02:34
Yeah, it was a fabulous through ball here by David Raucasle.
02:36
But question marks by the Rangers' defence here.
02:38
John Brown and David McPherson letting Cantona in between them.
02:42
And a terrific block here by Andy Gorham.
02:44
That was a real scare for Rangers.
02:46
It could quite easily have been 1-0 down there.
02:48
And that would have been a disastrous start.
02:50
Andy Gorham showing all of his experience there.
02:53
Scotland goalkeeper.
02:57
And Durant challenging for it.
02:58
It breaks to Haitley.
03:00
Oh, and Haitley has scored a sensational goal for Rangers.
03:06
Two and a half minutes gone.
03:08
And Mark Haitley with a mighty shot,
03:11
which gave Lucas no chance whatsoever.
03:13
Oh, an incredible strike by Mark Haitley.
03:17
His ninth goal of the season.
03:19
His second in the European Cup.
03:21
What a start to this game.
03:24
At the other hand, Cantona looks as if he's going to score.
03:26
What a strike by Mark Haitley here.
03:28
Give Lucas Amsolutely no chance.
03:31
Turns, works, and a great left-footed shot.
03:34
A dream start for Rangers.
03:36
Well, now Leeds have it all to do.
03:43
That's exactly what Walter Smith said he wanted when I spoke to him yesterday.
03:49
If only Rangers could make that kind of start.
03:53
So Leeds United 0, Rangers 1.
03:55
Still a long way to go on David Browcastle.
04:01
It's through to Cantona.
04:04
Well, that's three times he's managed to beat the offside situation.
04:08
This man has got a bit of danger tonight.
04:09
But that's two of those.
04:13
This is Strachan's free kick.
04:17
Rangers are under real pressure here.
04:21
And eventually it goes behind.
04:23
It was Fairclough who got the final touch.
04:25
Goal.
04:26
Surprisingly so with so many big fellas on the back floor.
04:29
Well, we've lost 23 goals in 14 league games Leeds United.
04:34
A dire record.
04:35
There's Goffin there threatening the goalkeeper.
04:37
And he takes it back to the second attempt from the head of Ali McCoy.
04:42
Walter Smith going back down to the track side.
04:47
To join Archie Knox.
04:49
So it's quickly taken through to Ali McCoy.
04:55
A little flush with him.
04:57
Robertson's in there.
05:00
Play goes on.
05:02
The goalkeeper scrambling there.
05:04
Leeds creating problems for themselves there.
05:12
This is Dale Gordon.
05:14
Chris White redeemed himself having given the ball away previously.
05:19
And he wounds himself a free kick.
05:20
That was a good little situation there as well.
05:22
Dale Gordon running that defender in the ball.
05:24
A good situation.
05:27
Howard Wilkins now taking some note.
05:29
There's a mouth-watering prospect.
05:32
Gottenberg are already through this evening.
05:34
And so too are Marseille.
05:38
Here comes Ali McCoy.
05:40
He's onside.
05:41
And Luka spread himself well.
05:42
That was brave goalkeeping.
05:44
He had to be alert.
05:45
And McCoy's showing plenty of pace there.
05:48
Oh, it's a lovely little touch in being Durant here.
05:51
The outside of the foot.
05:52
Ali Times has run perfect.
05:54
Ball just a little bit in front of him.
05:57
Team 70.
06:01
Here's another threat from Leeds United.
06:02
It's Cantona.
06:03
Ah, and again.
06:05
Terrific goalkeeping by Andy Gorham.
06:09
Cantona so sharp, so quick.
06:11
But Gorham was his match on that occasion.
06:14
Yeah, it was a great turning shot.
06:16
Little ball that he got in here.
06:18
Good chest control by Cantona.
06:20
Good strike as well.
06:21
I wonder what they're saying about our Scottish goalkeepers now.
06:23
Great goalkeeping.
06:25
It's David Robertson conceding another corner kick.
06:33
Not Cately back there inside his own six-yard area.
06:37
And Chris White has played into the near post.
06:39
And that was Stuart McCall popping up on the line.
06:48
And Rangers leading by one goal to nil on the night.
06:50
3-1 in aggregate.
06:53
That's Durant's cross.
06:54
That's a great one.
06:55
Well, what a terrific save by John Lugic from Ali McCoy.
07:00
That theory could have wrapped it all up.
07:04
Oh, it's a delightful cross field.
07:07
Ball here being Durant.
07:08
Finds Ali McCoy.
07:09
Unmarked at the back post.
07:10
Ali meets it.
07:11
Goals to take this tie to extra time.
07:14
Richard Goff has blood coming from his right eye.
07:19
And he will have to leave the field under FIFA instructions.
07:26
We certainly don't want Richard Goff to leave in the field.
07:29
Just as Legion 8 and Tony DiRigo is going to fire a free kick into the penalty box.
07:34
But rules are rules on him.
07:37
Well, it looks like he's letting him carry on.
07:39
Well, he was insisting he left the field.
07:41
He's arguing with Gordon's track in the referee.
07:42
But this will have to be done quickly.
07:47
As you see, it's a set piece here.
07:49
And they'll leave the off-site.
07:51
Oh, well.
07:51
Looks as if he's got a good corner man there, Gerrit.
07:57
So, Walter Smith will be with things so far.
08:02
But he's one and up in the tooth.
08:03
An anxious moment for Andy Gorham.
08:05
Andy's defence.
08:09
He's left now to Roe Castle.
08:11
Does well there.
08:13
Lally McCoyst.
08:15
Back helping in defence.
08:16
He gets a second attempt at it.
08:18
But it's Cantona laying it off.
08:21
He's turning on a bit of style.
08:22
A great play by Cantona.
08:24
Another marvellous save by Andy Gorham.
08:27
Latched three times, at least, in this first half.
08:30
That the Rangers and Scotland goalkeeper has responded magnificently.
08:34
Cantona, though.
08:35
A marvellous player.
08:36
And welcome back to Elendrode for the second half.
08:40
And it just got underway.
08:43
So, Leeds United have 45 minutes to score two goals.
08:49
And take this match to extra time.
08:52
Come on, Mark!
08:52
No changes in either line-up.
08:57
So, Rangers are the standard best.
09:00
Can they get through these 45 minutes?
09:03
There's Godwin Strachan.
09:05
Andy Gorham was at full stretch.
09:07
A terrific effort from Godwin Strachan.
09:10
It's inside Durant's corner.
09:16
This is Ferguson.
09:18
Not a bad effort from Ian Ferguson.
09:21
Cleanly handled by John Lukic.
09:24
And he finds Cantona who's struggling a bit with that one.
09:29
This is Dale Gordon with Faircroft in attention.
09:33
Leeds looking not too happy defensively.
09:36
Of course, they're going to the United.
09:43
And a slip there by Richard Goff.
09:45
This is Cantona.
09:46
He gets away from John Brown.
09:47
Oh, and Alan McLevish and stop by Andy Gorham.
09:53
Oh, a slip there from Richard Goff.
09:55
And Cantona also get away from Brown.
09:59
And again Andy Gorham.
10:02
And just dinking it into the near course for Chris White or Chapman to flick on.
10:05
And it has caused a lot of problems.
10:07
But there's nobody dealt with the whole situation better than Andy Gorham.
10:10
He really has been quite magnificent in the first half.
10:12
And he started off great in the second half as well.
10:16
Leeds pushing everyone forward here.
10:19
Rangers will be hoping to hit them on the break.
10:23
John Brown wins it against Cantona.
10:25
Nicely left there by Haidley.
10:26
And here's the break on.
10:27
It's Ian Durant.
10:28
Through to Haidley.
10:29
McCoyce on the far side.
10:31
Gary Speeder's racing back to provide the cover.
10:33
Here's Ali McRoyce.
10:34
Oh, he's done it.
10:36
Ali McRoyce from Rangers.
10:39
58 minutes gone.
10:41
58 minutes gone.
10:42
And surely Ali McRoyce wraps it all up.
10:44
Ali McRoyce scores his 29th goal of the season.
10:49
And the most vital of his career.
10:51
Look at his face there.
10:52
Now it's a goal of real quality.
10:54
Ian Durant just slides it in here to Haidley.
10:56
He runs on to the ball.
10:57
Looks up.
10:58
Ali McRoyce in acres of space at the back.
11:00
But a terrific cross by Mark Catelyn.
11:02
Maybe Lucas Schiave came for it.
11:04
Ali McRoyce did.
11:05
Stuck it in the back of the net.
11:08
Now Leeds have amounted to Clintus.
11:09
A magnificently worked goal.
11:11
Great cross.
11:12
Great header.
11:13
There's a lot of throw here.
11:18
Gary Speed.
11:20
And in at Chapman.
11:21
Comes off Goff.
11:22
A chance on here perhaps for Wallace.
11:24
Oh, another terrific save by Andy Gorham.
11:26
He pushes the ball onto the post.
11:28
Well, the substitute there.
11:30
Get in the shot.
11:31
And Gorham is in incredible form.
11:34
Pro income comes off the top of Richard Goff's head.
11:39
Just wriggles, finds a little bit of space.
11:41
What about that for a save?
11:42
What a night he's having.
11:44
That's at least playing the field.
11:46
He's put in a par of work this evening.
11:49
So the former Norwich player goes off.
11:53
And Alexei Mikhailachenko.
11:56
Comes into the freight.
11:57
And the crowd has gone very quiet indeed.
12:06
There's Alexei Mikhailachenko.
12:09
29 years of age.
12:10
He's hit two goals so far this season.
12:12
He'll start with just eight games before tonight.
12:17
And Leeds again.
12:19
Andy Gorham handles it well.
12:21
Breaks to McColl.
12:22
Through now for Mikhailachenko.
12:25
Chance on here for Rangers.
12:26
Hitley's in the middle.
12:27
This is Ian Durant now laying it off to Bergeson.
12:32
Out to Mikhailachenko who's onside.
12:34
Hitley racing through the middle.
12:36
John Brown still running forward.
12:37
It's Brown.
12:39
Well handled by Lukic.
12:41
Well, it's very strong and powerful in there.
12:44
And that's been an important factor in stopping Leeds scoring.
12:46
So there are five minutes left.
12:48
Here's Cantona.
12:50
And Leeds United pull one back.
12:54
85 minutes gone.
12:55
Cantona makes it.
12:57
Leeds United one.
12:58
Rangers two.
12:59
Well, Andy Gorham was quite disgusted.
13:00
I think he got a touch to it.
13:02
But you've got to feel sorry for the goalkeeper.
13:04
But I don't think we can begrudge Cantona goal tonight because Andy Gorham stopped him time after time.
13:11
And he drilled that one.
13:13
A little deflection off Richard Goff here, I think.
13:16
Which probably didn't help Gorham's cause.
13:19
He got a hand to it.
13:20
There's White sends along with Paul.
13:22
And it's headed on there by Hart.
13:23
Here's Willis.
13:24
Oh, another terrific save there by Andy Gorham.
13:30
This is McCall to Hitley.
13:35
Well, Hitley, the real blast there.
13:37
There goes the final whistle.
14:03
Leeds United one.
14:04
Rangers two.
14:05
Rangers go into the Champions League.
14:06
A great night in the history of Rangers.
14:09
Thank you very much.
