**Today in Scottish History**

On 24th May 1972, Glasgow Rangers became the first Scottish side to win the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, when they defeated Dynamo Moscow in Barcelona.
The goalscorers were Colin Stein and Willie Johnston with a brace. However, the victory was marred as jubilant Rangers fans invaded the pitch, leading to violent clashes with the Spanish police.

On this day in 1926 Stanley Baxter, the comedy actor and impersonator, was born.
Baxter began his showbusiness career in the forces, entertaining troops in Malaya, along with the likes of Kenneth Williams and director John Schlesinger. On his return to Scotland he worked at the Citizen's Theatre before moving on to a hugely successful career in television. Perhaps Baxter's crowning moment was his series of sketches parodying the Glasgow dialect, Parliamo Glasgow. Baxter was also well known for his impersonations and was the first to impersonate the Queen on air.
