EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph captured by renowned sports photographer Mike Egerton, two legendary figures of Scottish football stand together at Ibrox Stadium, a symbol of the deep-rooted rivalry between Rangers and Celtic. Ally McCoist, a Rangers icon and former player turned manager, and Walter Smith, a former Rangers manager and Celtic player, share a moment of camaraderie on the touchline during a Rangers vs. Chelsea friendly. McCoist, wearing a Rangers tracksuit and Smith in a Chelsea coat, embody the complexities of football and the intricacies of the beautiful game. Their shared history, both as players and managers, adds an extra layer of significance to this image. McCoist, a prolific goalscorer during his playing days, spent 11 years at Rangers, scoring over 200 goals in all competitions. Smith, a former Scotland international, made over 300 appearances for Rangers and managed the team to three Scottish Premier League titles and six Scottish Cups. Their paths crossed again when McCoist took over as Rangers manager in 2011, following Smith's departure in 2011. Smith, who had managed Rangers from 1991 to 1998 and again from 2007 to 2011, left a lasting impact on the club and its fans. McCoist, who had previously managed Motherwell and Hearts, was tasked with rebuilding Rangers after their financial collapse. This photograph is a testament to the enduring passion and history of Scottish football, as well as the unique dynamics of football management. McCoist and Smith, two rivals on the pitch, come together in mutual respect off the field, demonstrating the power of sport to bring people together. The image captures a moment of unity in the midst of a storied rivalry, a reminder of the shared love for the game that transcends team allegiances.
