rangers fc

the first British club to reach the final of a UEFA club competition

the first British club to appear in the UEFA Champions League, when in 1992 they defeated Leeds United in a qualifying round dubbed the Battle of Britain.

Rangers became the first Scottish club to qualify from both the Champions League group stage in 2005-06 and the UEFA Cup group stage in 2006-07.

Season 2009-10, was Rangers' 49th European campaign. They have competed in European competitions in more seasons than any other British club. In fact, only Real Madrid, Barcelona, Anderlecht and Sporting Lisbon have taken part in more campaigns.

I believe that the first English football team to play in Europe was Manchester United - in the European Cup of 1956-57. They reached the Semi-Finals losing to Real Madrid 5-3. The first team to win a European Trophy was Tottenham Hotspur when they won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1963. The first English league club to play in Europe was, in fact, Birmingham City who met Internazionale on 15 May 1956. The result was 0-0.

Birmingham City first appeared in the Inter City Fairs Cup in 1955-56, so pretty sure they were the first British club to play in European Competition.
