This iconic photo captures the thrilling moments of the UEFA Cup Semi-Final match between ACF Fiorentina and Rangers in 2008. With the score tied at 0-0 after two legs, the tension was palpable as the teams prepared for the decisive penalty shootout. In the foreground, Rangers captain Barry Ferguson stands confidently, arms crossed, as he watches his teammates Greame Smith and Steven Davis focus intently on the task at hand. Smith, the first Rangers player to take a penalty, is seen here poised to make history with a successful kick. The Italian goalkeeper, Dainelli, makes a valiant attempt to guess Smith's direction, but to no avail as the ball finds the back of the net. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, with both sets of fans on the edge of their seats. The outcome of this penalty shootout would determine which team would advance to the final and have the chance to lift the UEFA Cup trophy. Rangers went on to win the shootout 4-2, securing their place in the final against Zenit St. Petersburg. This victory marked a significant moment in the club's history, as it was their first major European trophy since the 1972 European Cup Winners' Cup. Lynne Cameron's photograph perfectly encapsulates the intensity and drama of European football, and serves as a reminder of the unforgettable night when Rangers claimed their place among the continent's elite.
