EDITORS COMMENTS
Great moment from a pre-season friendly between Blackpool and Rangers, captured in this stunning photograph by Kirk O'Rourke. The scene is set at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool, as the Scottish giants take on their English counterparts in the build-up to the new football season. The focus of the image is on Rangers' striker James Beattie, who is celebrating after scoring the second goal for his team in the 2-0 victory. Beattie, a Scottish international, joined Rangers in the previous transfer window, and this goal was a clear indication of his worth to the team. The first half of the match saw both teams creating chances, but it was Rangers who took the lead through a brilliant finish from Tore Andre Flo. Beattie then sealed the deal with a clinical finish from close range, leaving the Blackpool goalkeeper with no chance. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, with the Rangers fans in full voice as their team took a commanding lead. The second half saw Rangers dominating possession and creating several opportunities to extend their lead, but they were unable to find the back of the net again. Blackpool, to their credit, fought hard and created some chances of their own, but they were unable to breach the Rangers defense. This photograph captures the excitement and tension of a pre-season friendly, with Beattie's goal being the highlight of the match. The image also serves as a reminder of the anticipation and hope that comes with the start of a new football season, as teams prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. Overall, a fantastic moment in football history, expertly captured by Kirk O'Rourke.
