Then changed it at the last minute. Another mind game I seem to recall is that Alex Ferguson would sometimes send a bottle of whisky to his opposing manager before the tie, so they'd think he was a soft touch - some couthy wee provincial team maybe - and lower their guard. He also used to send Archie Knox to stand outside the away dressing room, under the vent for the fan and listen to the team talks 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolling hIlls Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 First European game at Ibrox. Rangers beat Juventus 2-0 to overturn a 1-0 in Turin. Juventus had 7 of the Italy team playing that night including Dino Zoff, Bettega, Bonetti. No Copland End that night. Best atmosphere I ever witnessed on a European night.

He learned that one from Jock Stein, believe he described it in "Managing My Life". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
