EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photo captures the electrifying moment of drama and excitement as Rangers FC managers Walter Smith and Ally McCoist celebrate a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League. Taken by renowned Scottish football photographer Kirk O'Rourke during European nights at Ibrox Stadium, this image encapsulates the passion and determination of the Rangers team in the face of adversity. The match, played on a chilly November evening in 2007, was a thrilling encounter between two formidable European opponents. Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese giants, took an early lead through a controversial penalty call, leaving Rangers fans and players crestfallen. However, the Scottish side refused to be disheartened and fought back with tenacity and grit. McCoist, the charismatic striker, equalized with a powerful header just before halftime, sending the crowd into raptures. The second half was a rollercoaster of emotions as both teams traded blows, with Smith's tactical acumen and McCoist's inspiring leadership keeping Rangers in the game. With just minutes remaining on the clock, McCoist once again rose to the occasion, scoring a stunning equalizer from a free-kick to secure a precious point for the Glasgow side. The final whistle blew moments later, leaving the players and fans elated and relieved. This print is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Rangers FC and the unforgettable European nights at Ibrox Stadium. Smith and McCoist's celebratory embrace encapsulates the camaraderie and resilience that defines the Scottish footballing legend.
