Rangers finished an embarrassing fifth in the league, eleven points behind champions Aberdeen. The main cause for such a poor showing in the league was pointed at the team’s away form, only ten points from eighteen matches.Aberdeen also knocked Rangers out of the Scottish League Cup over a two-legged third round tie. Rangers did reach the 1980 Scottish Cup Final only to lose out to Old Firm rivals Celtic, 1-0 thanks to a deflected George McCluskey shot in extra time. The European Cup Winner’s Cup campaign was ended by the eventual winners Valencia CF after having seen off Lillestr\u00f8m SK and Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf in previous rounds.
