James Beattie's Stunner: Manchester United Clinch Group C at Ibrox (UEFA Champions League) This iconic photograph captures the electrifying moment when James Beattie's stunning goal secured Manchester United's victory over Rangers and clinched the top spot in Group C of the UEFA Champions League at Ibrox Stadium on November 6, 1996. The image, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, encapsulates the intensity and drama of European nights at Rangers' historic home ground. Beattie, a Scottish international striker, joined Rangers in 1995, and this goal against his former club added an extra layer of significance to the encounter. Manchester United, managed by Alex Ferguson, were the reigning champions of Europe and determined to maintain their dominance in the competition. The atmosphere inside Ibrox that night was electric, with both sets of fans creating a cacophony of noise as they willed their teams to victory. The tension was palpable, and the stakes could not have been higher. With the scoreline delicately poised at 0-0, Manchester United were in search of the goal that would put them in a commanding position in the group. Enter James Beattie. In the 68th minute, he received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, took a few touches to settle, and unleashed an unstoppable volley that flew past the helpless Rangers goalkeeper, sending the United fans into raptures. The goal not only gave Manchester United the lead but also proved to be the decisive strike in the match, as they went on to claim a hard-fought 1-0 victory. This triumphant moment, immortalized by Kirk O'Rourke's camera, marked a significant turning point in Manchester United's UEFA Champions League campaign and added another memorable chapter to the storied history of European football at Ibrox Stadium.
