Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been given a lifetime membership by Eintracht Frankfurt due to his links to the Bundesliga club.

 

Ferguson scored a hat-trick against Frankfurt in his first game for Rangers, a pre-season friendly in 1967 which the Scottish giants won 5-3.

 

The 82-year-old was also a spectator at Ibrox when the two sides met in the semi-finals of the European Cup seven years earlier, the German club winning the second leg 6-3 to complete a 12-4 victory on aggregate.

There are plenty of points of contact โ€“ and were the reason for a personal conversation with the legendary trainer and manager.

โ€œThat was unbelievable,โ€ Ferguson recalled in an interview published on Frankfurtโ€™s website.

 

โ€œIn the first leg, Frankfurt beat Rangers 6-1. I was at the second leg when Eintracht came to Ibrox with 70,000 spectators.

 

โ€œOf course we felt hopeful and told ourselves that Rangers could come back. In the end they lost again by six goals.

 

โ€œI was a Rangers fan and only lived about 200 metres from Ibrox. I also attended the final (against Real Madrid at Hampden Park) and hoped Frankfurt would win as they had beaten Rangers.

 

โ€œAt the time I was 17 years old and played for Queens Park FC from Glasgow. It was a great game. (Richard) Kress scored the first goal. We said to ourselves, โ€˜wow, a great German teamโ€™.

 

โ€œBut then there were (Ferenc) Puskas, (Alfredo) Di Stefano and (Paco) Gento. I donโ€™t think there will ever be another team as charismatic as the Real Madrid team at the time.

 

โ€œPuskas scored four goals and Di Stefano three. They were fantastic players and the 7-3 win was an incredible game. There was no shame in losing this game. Frankfurt had proven itself in the semi-final against Rangers.โ€

 

Scotland will face Germany in the group stages of this summerโ€™s European Championship and Ferguson was jokingly asked if the hosts had โ€œan outside chanceโ€ of beating Steve Clarkeโ€™s side.

 

โ€œNo chance,โ€ Ferguson said with a laugh. โ€œScotland isnโ€™t that bad, you know. They have good midfielders, two good full-backs. There have only been difficulties in the striker position in recent years.โ€
