Page "UEFA Super Cup" Paragraph 6

The 1972 final between Dutch team Ajax and Scotland's Rangers is considered unofficial by UEFA, as Rangers were banned from European competition due to the behaviour of their fans during the 1972 UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup Final.

As a result, UEFA refused to endorse the competition until the following season.

It was played in two legs and was financially supported by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

Ajax defeated Rangers 6 – 3 on aggregate and won the first ( albeit unofficial ) European Super Cup.
