EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the elation and triumph of Walter Smith's Rangers team as they secured a historic 2-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup on April 11, 1972. The image, taken by renowned Scottish photographer Lynne Cameron, encapsulates the excitement and tension of European nights at Ibrox Stadium. Smith, who led Rangers to five league titles and three Scottish Cups during his tenure, had built a formidable team that included the likes of John Greig, Davie Cooper, and Jim Forrest. The team's journey in the European Cup Winners' Cup had already seen them overcome Swedish side Malmö FF and Belgian club Anderlecht, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter against the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon. The first half of the match was a tightly contested affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net. However, in the second half, Rangers stepped up their game, with Cooper and Forrest combining brilliantly to set up the opening goal for striker Derek Johnstone. The second goal came from a set-piece, with Greig rising above the Sporting defense to head home a corner kick. The crowd at Ibrox went wild as the final whistle blew, with Rangers securing their place in the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup. The team would go on to face Belgian side Standard Liège in the next round, ultimately losing 3-2 on aggregate. However, this victory over Sporting Lisbon remains a cherished moment in Rangers' history, a testament to Smith's tactical prowess and the team's determination and resilience. Lynne Cameron's photograph perfectly encapsulates the raw emotion and excitement of this memorable night in Rangers' history, a moment that continues to inspire and unite the club's fans to this day.
