The item in question is a match-worn shirt from the club’s iconic 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup final – a historic moment that remains one of Rangers’ greatest achievements.
The shirt, worn by one of the players during the famous 3-2 victory over Dynamo Moscow in Barcelona, is in exceptional condition and has been preserved by the player’s family for over five decades. This final marked Rangers’ first and only European trophy win, cementing its place in football folklore.
The jersey, featuring the classic royal blue design and the original Rangers crest, is considered one of the most valuable pieces of memorabilia from that era. Due to its rarity and the significance of the occasion, it is expected to attract strong interest from collectors and supporters alike.
The auction will be held at McTear’s Auctioneers in Glasgow, known for handling high-profile sports memorabilia. “This shirt is more than just a piece of fabric – it’s a symbol of Rangers’ triumph on the European stage,” said a spokesperson from McTear’s. “We anticipate bids from across the UK and internationally.”
In addition to the match-worn shirt, the auction will also feature other Rangers memorabilia, including signed photographs, match programmes, and ticket stubs from the 1972 campaign.
The auction is scheduled for May 18th, with viewings and online previews beginning the week before. With such a storied item on offer, Rangers fans and collectors are expected to show strong interest, eager to own a piece of the club’s legendary past.
