Rangers boast more than 100 trophies but only one was claimed on foreign shores. The triumph over Moscow Dynamo in the 1972 European Cup Winners' Cup final in the famous Nou Camp Stadium is the achievement three decades of Rangers teams have tried to emulate. 'To Barcelona and Beyond.' charts the twists and turns of that fmous European campaign and tells the real story of the men who made it happen.Through in-depth interviews with all Nou Camp heroes and comprehensive biographical profiles,this unique collection of tales reveals how a group of homegrown players found themselves at the centre of one of Scotland's rare European triumphs and just where football's rollercoaster took them in the 34 years (then 2006) that have followed. With one chapter dedicated to each of the 11 medl winners,the author discovers which player would have walked into Brazil's World cup team,how Rod Stewart and Bill Cosby touched one post-Barcelona career and which star is now chasing success in a different sporting arena. The class of 1972 included Scottish player of the year winners Sandy Jardine,John Greig,David Smith and Derek Johnstone,as well as fellow internationals Peter McCloy,Alfie Conn,Colin Stein,Alex McDonald,Tommy McLean and Willie Johnston.The long-serving Willie Mathieson completes an eclectic group who fused together on a May night in Spain to creae a piece of football history.Each has a fascinating life story to tell.
