[edit] Overview

Rangers played a total of 55 competitive matches during the 1998-99 season. They started this season under new management with Dick Advocaat replacing Walter Smith. The squad Smith had left behind was past its best so Advocaat - with the financial backing of Murray - set about rebuilding almost the entire squad.

Success quickly followed and Advocaat built a team that gave the club their first domestic treble since the 1992-93 season. The Scottish Cup was secured by a 1-0 win against Celtic and the League Cup by a 2-1 defeat of St Johnstone.

The club enjoyed its best season in Europe since 1922-93 as well, reaching the third round of the UEFA Cup before being knocked out by Italian side Parma.
