Now, 30 members of the Rangers family - from ex-players to loyal supporters - tell their stories of how the title came home to Ibrox. Title Triumph 2020/21 Behind Rangers’ The Stories Mark Walters, Marco Negri and Lisa Swanson are among the players The Stories Behind Rangers’ featured, as are former directors Dave King, John Gilligan and Paul Murray. Add to this Andy Cameron MBE, Sir Brian Donohoe and even 2020/21 Title Triumph one of Her Majesty’s Ambassadors, and the cast list grows more impressive by the minute. TV stars, restaurateurs, coaches, entertainers; they’re all here in one book. You will laugh, cry and marvel as each individual tells their tale. And what connects this anthology of stories is each individual’s unequivocal love of a football team. And that team is Glasgow Rangers.

About 5500 B.C. the region was inhabited by Indo-European people, who in turn gave way to Thracian tribes. Today’s Romanians are in part descended from the Getae, a Thracian tribe that lived north of the Danube River. During the Bronze Age (about 2200 to 1200 B.C.), these Thraco-Getian tribes engaged in agriculture, stock raising, and trade with inhabitants of the Aegean Sea coast.

Previous meetings • Rangers appeared to be on the ropes in the first leg when they fell two goals behind, the first a spectacular long- range strike from Braga skipper Fransérgio, but the Scottish club's new loan signing Ianis Hagi – watched on from the stands by his famous father Gheorghe – scored twice and substitute Joseph Aribo once, all within a 15-minute period, to engineer a famous Ibrox comeback. • Braga were 3-0 winners against Celtic the last time they hosted a Scottish club, in the third qualifying round of the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League, winning the tie 4-2 on aggregate.

  • 90 Years of Czech-Romanian Friendship
    90 Years of Czech-Romanian Friendship The history of contacts between Czechs and Romanians reaches far back into history. The first verifiable documents of mutual relations come from the Middle Ages, when the Czech kings took an active interest in events in the areas of what is today's Romania. The visit of Prince Michal Chrabré to the court of Emperor Rudolf II could be evidence of this. Mutual contacts did not only take place on the highest political levels, but also on economic, cultural and educational levels as well. Czech goods were exported to Romania, and Romanian students visited Czech universities. An intensification of contacts took place beginning with the moment of the Habsburg monarchy's creation; certain parts of today's Romania, especially the area known as Transylvania, was part of the empire. The Habsburgs conducted a long war against the Ottoman Empire over that territory. In the end, the war ended rather successfully for the Habsburg monarchy and part of the territory was joined to the monarchy. During the 19th century, the state supported migration to these lands, especially to the areas of the so-called Banát. During the 19th century, mainly leaders of the Czech national movement came into contact with Romanians. Mutual cooperation was not burdened by Slavic motifs, which could in many regards be perceived as beneficial. On the other hand, it led to mutual relations not being as warm as with the southern Slavs, for example. The Czechs supported the Romanians in their resistance to pressure from the Budapest government for Hungarianisation, in which they saw an allegory to their own fight against the Germans.
