In this electrifying moment captured by Kirk O'Rourke, Rangers' Juan Manuel Ortiz revels in the ecstasy of scoring a dramatic goal that edged past Maribor in the Europa League play-offs. The Spanish midfielder's strike, in the 88th minute of the match, brought the Ibrox faithful to their feet as their team clung to a narrow 2-1 lead in Slovenia. The European night was far from straightforward for Steven Gerrard's side, who had to weather an early onslaught from the Slovenian champions. Maribor took the lead through a fortuitous deflection, leaving Rangers needing a response to keep their Europa League dreams alive. Ortiz, a summer signing from Almeria, stepped up to the plate. Collecting the ball just outside the box, he deftly maneuvered past a defender before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the top corner. The crowd erupted in jubilation, their collective relief palpable as the team held on for the victory. This goal was more than just three points for Rangers. It represented a turning point in their European campaign, a moment that galvanized the squad and ignited their belief in their ability to compete on the continent's biggest stage. For Ortiz, it was a statement of intent, a reminder of his quality and the impact he could have on the team. As the Spaniard celebrates with his teammates, the weight of the moment is etched on his face. The tension of the previous minutes has given way to elation, and the promise of what's to come shines brightly in his eyes. This is European football at its most thrilling, a night that will live long in the memory of both player and fan alike.
