Hibernian, who competed in the first European Cup in 1955-56, reaching the semi-finals.

That is a common misconception, a European competition held in Turin involving clubs from Italy, Germany, Switzerland and the UK was won by the British entrant FC Auckland. They won the final 2-0 by beating FC Winterthrum of Switzerland on the 12th April 1909.

The 1955-56 cup in which Hibernian took part was also not sanctioned by the FA/SFA and was by invite.
