Our very last visit to Scotland was for a friendly against Celtic (July 2002) nd we played 'em off the park: 1-3.
In August 2002 (CL qualifiers) Celtic stuffed us in Amsterdam, but we did very well at Celtic Park: 0-1, which was their first European home defeat in years.
Last time before that was the CL group phase in the fall of 1996: a whopping 4-1 win at home (two goals by Dani), followed by a hard-fought buit vital 0-1 win at Ibrox.
Longer ago we lost 1-0 at Celtic Park (March 1971), but we had already won 3-0 at home.
January 1973: two wins over Rangers (1-3 at Ibrox, 3-2 at home).
September 1982: elimination by Celtic, but they beat us in Amsterdam (1-2), not in Scotland (2-2).
So, we have a 100% score against Rangers (4 games, 4 wins). Out of the three times we played Celtic they eliminated us twice, but on both occasions the result in Scotland was good. Ajax played five official games in UEFA competition on Scottish soil: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat (must be said that one of those wins didn't help, but on the other hand the only defeat didn't hurt).
That's not too bad, I would say.
We never played any other Scottish clubs in UEFA competition than the Old Firm clubs, by the way. Hearts would be nice.

Nice little history Ko, I was thinking about the agregate results, particularly against Celtic, but as you say, our record in Scotland has been OK.Heats would be nice though, the beer is good up there as well.
