Selected pick of sides conquered by Scottish sides
Here is a list of some of the great club sides that Scottish clubs have defeated in competitive games. I have selected a pick of the sides, they have also defeated other teams I have not mentioned. I am including a win in any individual game, including after extra time. So they may have been knocked out over two legs by the same team. I do not include penalty shootouts, or away goals rule victories, when both games were drawn. This is purely a list of individual game wins by Scottish sides against non Scottish sides.
The order shows the name of a European team with a list of Scottish teams who have beaten them in Europe.
