A lot less than the players, although this may throw up a few surprises I hope.
Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy etc
I know we played in Turkey in the '50's and Australia/NZ in '83.
Off you go to a dark room to think....... [Post edited 22 Apr 2020 11:41]

We definitely played in Hibs in the early 90's.
I partied all the way through the night before and missed the train at King's Cross by a couple of minutes. |
I went on the overnight sleeper train to that Hibs friendly in 95. Stayed in the restaurant carriage all night drinking, got to Edinburgh, had the biggest heart attack on a plate you could wish for breakfast, and then carried on drinking.
I fell asleep on the train home and woke up feeling rough as arseholes with dribble all down my face. Hoped we were almost home and looked out of the window to see we were only at Durham.
Great night/day though |  |

I'm sure I read somewhere that we did a tour of Oceana in the 1970s or 80s. Think we played games in New Zealand and Fiji amongst other places. |  | | |

In his autobiography, Stan Bowles mentioned playing matches in Greenland in his later years. |  | | |

In that case, it was a pre-season game before we commenced our glorious relegation campaign.
I have to say that a game played in Edinburgh during the festival, is a fantastic weekend! |  |

Italy - Stresa 2015 (?). Rangers demolish a schools team after it turns out that Tony's barber's cousin is not actually the offical agent of Dynamo Kiev.
Me and the then Mrs Hopp simpering in mute awe at Jamie Mackie, Clint Hill and Rob Green from the next table on the hotel terrace. |  | | |
