EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Rangers mascot, a costumed figure embodying the spirit of the legendary Scottish football club, stands in disbelief as Manchester United's Chris Smalling scores the only goal in a shock 1-0 Champions League victory at Ibrox Stadium on September 28, 2005. The image captures the moment of surprise and disappointment felt by the home crowd as Manchester United, under the management of Alex Ferguson, handed Rangers their first defeat in the competition at home in over a decade. The Champions League group stage match was a highly anticipated clash between two of Europe's most storied football clubs. Rangers, the dominant force in Scottish football, had a reputation for their unbeaten European home record, while Manchester United were the reigning English champions and Champions League holders. The atmosphere was electric as the two teams took to the field, with the Rangers fans confidently expecting a victory in front of their home crowd. However, Manchester United had other plans. In the 62nd minute, a corner kick was swung in from the right, and Chris Smalling rose above the Rangers defense to head the ball past the goalkeeper, leaving the home crowd stunned. The Rangers mascot, dressed in blue and white, stands in the foreground, his expression reflecting the disbelief and disappointment felt by the fans. This photograph, taken by Aileen Wilson, encapsulates the drama and excitement of European football and the unexpected twists and turns that come with it. The image serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of the beautiful game and the enduring rivalry between two of Europe's most storied football clubs.
