Inter and Rangers going well uefa.com
After securing victories in their opening group games, FC Internazionale Milano and Rangers FC hope to continue their positive start to Group H. Inter overcame a tricky journey to FC Artmedia Bratislava to score the only goal of the game in Slovakia, while Rangers needed a late winner to beat FC Porto, the 2004 champions. The Scottish champions now face a difficult game at the Giuseppe Meazza.
Last meeting: It is 21 years since the clubs met in UEFA club competition. In the 1984/85 UEFA Cup second round, Inter took a three-goal advantage after their first leg at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium thanks to goals from Antonio Sabato, substitute Franco Causio and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
In the return match at Ibrox, David Mitchell scored after five minutes but Alessandro Altobelli equalised ten minutes later. Rangers recovered well, with Iain Ferguson scoring twice to give Inter the tie by 4-3 on aggregate after several uncomfortable moments.
First meeting: That tie had mirrored the first, and other, encounter between the clubs in the 1964/65 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals. Inter won the first leg at home 3-1 after gaining a 3-0 lead within 51 minutes with goals from Joaquín Peiró (2) and Luis Suárez.
However James Forrest's goal after 64 minutes gave Rangers a degree of hope, and when Forrest narrowed the margin even further after just six minutes of the return leg, there seemed time for more goals. But the Inter defence held firm, and the Italian side went on to beat SL Benfica in the final.
Inter against Scottish clubs: Inter have found every meeting with a Scottish club to be closely contested affairs. Rangers' rivals Celtic FC have also proved to be difficult opponents. Celtic became the first British club to win the Champion Clubs' Cup in 1967 with a 2-1 win over Inter in the final. And five years later, in the semi-finals of the 1971/72 competition, Inter were 5-4 winners on penalties against Celtic after the tie had finished goalless.
