This iconic photo captures a pivotal moment in Rangers Football Club's history during their UEFA Champions League campaign in the 2001-2002 season. In Group G's match against VfB Stuttgart, held at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion on October 24, 2001, the Scottish giants suffered a disappointing 0-2 defeat. The image, taken by renowned Scottish football photographer Kirk O'Rourke, focuses on Rangers' defender Lee McCulloch as he reacts to conceding the second goal. The atmosphere is thick with tension as McCulloch's teammates and coaching staff look on in disbelief. The German opponents celebrate their victory, with their fans in the background erupting in jubilation. The dimly lit stadium and the rain-soaked pitch add to the sense of drama and intensity. This photograph encapsulates the high stakes and emotional rollercoaster of European football. The defeat to Stuttgart marked a significant setback for Rangers in their quest to advance to the knockout stages of the competition. However, it also served as a reminder of the challenges and learning experiences that come with competing at the highest level. Despite the loss, Rangers continued to fight on in the tournament, ultimately finishing third in their group. This photo remains a poignant reminder of the team's European journey and the unforgettable nights spent on the pitch in pursuit of glory.
