In the 1980 UEFA Cup final, the Frankfurt club defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach (2:3, 1:0) on aggregate. Eintracht Frankfurt won the right to play in the Champions League group stage next season. Rangers lost for the second time in the final of the tournament. In 2008, the team from Glasgow lost to Zenit St. Petersburg with a score of 0:2 in the decisive match of the UEFA Cup. That meeting was attended by midfielder Stephen Davies, who came on as a substitute in the game against Eintracht Frankfurt in the 74th minute.
