Recently selling for £18,000 at auction - hitting the £15,000-20,000 estimate - this long-sleeved Umbro Rangers shirt was match-worn by striker-cum-defender Derek Johnstone in the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup Final.
Devoid of barely any detailing beyond the embroidered “RFC” monogram crest and the occasion detailing encircling it, the article, with its exaggerated crew neck also carries a stitched-on white number 5 on the reverse.
The match in Barcelona remains the sole instance of the Glasgow-based Scottish club winning a European title so the buyer has acquired an incredibly rare piece of sporting history.
This item was sold by Graham Budd Auctions, a specialist in sporting memorabilia.
