EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the elation and triumph of Rangers Football Club's historic UEFA Cup Semifinals victory over Sporting Lisbon on April 12, 2001. In this image, Rangers manager Walter Smith, wearing a suit and tie, celebrates with his team on the pitch at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland. The score was 2-0 in favor of the Scottish side, a result that secured their place in the UEFA Cup Final against Bayern Munich. The atmosphere in the stadium that night was electric as Rangers, under Smith's leadership, made history by becoming the first Scottish team to reach the UEFA Cup Final. The team's success came after a grueling campaign that saw them overcome tough opposition from the group stages all the way through to the semifinals. Smith, who had taken over as manager in 1991, had built a formidable team that was known for its tenacity and resilience. This image encapsulates the team's determination and the sense of unity that had carried them through the competition. The players, many of whom are shown here with their shirts off, are embracing each other in a jubilant display of camaraderie and relief. The UEFA Cup victory was a significant moment in Rangers' history, marking their first major European trophy since the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972. It was a testament to the hard work and dedication of Smith and his players, and a source of pride for the club's fans. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Lynne Cameron, is a reminder of that magical night and the indelible mark Rangers made on European football. It is a symbol of the passion, commitment, and spirit that has defined the club for generations.
