EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the elated moments of Rangers Football Club's historic 2-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the European Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals, a night that etched Walter Smith's name into Rangers' folklore. Taken by renowned Scottish photographer Lynne Cameron, the image encapsulates the excitement and tension of European nights at Ibrox Stadium. Smith, who had taken over as manager just six months prior, had led the team through a challenging campaign, overcoming obstacles both on and off the pitch. The team's determination and resilience were on full display as they faced the Portuguese powerhouse, Sporting Lisbon, in the first leg of the semi-finals. The scene in the photograph shows Rangers players and fans celebrating the second goal, scored by Brian Laudrup, which put the team in a commanding position going into the second leg. The jubilant expressions on the faces of the players and the passionate support from the fans are a testament to the special bond between the team and their supporters. The victory marked a significant turning point in Rangers' European history, as they went on to secure their place in the final against the mighty Borussia Dortmund. Smith's leadership and tactical acumen had steered the team through a remarkable European run, and this victory was a testament to their hard work and determination. This photograph is a reminder of a special moment in Rangers' history, a night when the team defied the odds and reached new heights. It is a symbol of the passion, pride, and unity that defines Rangers Football Club and its fans.
