Sevilla 2-0 Rangers - Cup-Winners Cup, 26th September 1962. Not every foreign team was so friendly. The Spaniards didn't take too kindly to Gers 4-2 aggregate win and there was a free for all at the end of the game, with the spectator on the right punching Ralph Brand (just off picture), Willie Henderson being chased around the park by some of the home players, while another is fighting with an unnamed Gers player in the background!:

According to Jim Baxter's book (The party's over) the hostilities were resumed at the post match banquet when an unnamed Rangers player followed the Spanish centre half into the gents and battered him. The player who usually didn't drink had taken a few sherbets and had to be dragged off the screaming Spaniard by other Rangers players. I was thinking about the identity of the Ranger involved and I think Davy Wilson or Ralph Brand didn't drink in those days so could be suspects biggrin.gif
