EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken before the historic Co-operative Cup Final between Rangers and Celtic in 2011, El Hadji Diouf of Rangers FC is seen making his pre-game presence felt on the hallowed turf of Hampden Park. The Old Firm derby, one of the most fiercely contested matches in Scottish football, was about to reach its climax, and the tension in the air was palpable. Diouf, a Senegalese international forward, was a key player for Rangers that season, having joined the club in 2010. His electric pace, skill, and determination had already earned him a place in the hearts of the Rangers fans, and he was determined to lead his team to victory in this crucial encounter. As Diouf steps onto the pitch, the crowd falls silent, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. The sun casts long shadows across the pitch, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. Diouf's teammates gather around him, offering words of encouragement and support. The opposing Celtic players, meanwhile, watch intently from the sidelines, their expressions a mixture of concentration and determination. The Co-operative Cup Final of 2011 was a historic moment for both clubs. It marked the first time in over a decade that the Old Firm derby had been contested in a cup final, and the build-up to the match had been filled with anticipation and excitement. The stakes were high, and both teams were determined to emerge victorious. As Diouf takes his place in the center circle, the referee signals for the match to begin. The crowd erupts into a cacophony of noise, and the players take their positions. The tension in the air is palpable, and the stage is set for a classic Old Firm derby. This photograph captures the essence of the moment, a moment that would go down in Scottish football history as one of the most memorable encounters between these two great rivals.
