EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, Rangers Football Club manager Walter Smith triumphantly lifts the Cooperative Cup aloft, moments after securing a hard-fought victory over arch-rivals Celtic in the 2011 final. The scene is set at Ibrox Stadium, the hallowed grounds of Rangers Football Club, where the passion and intensity of the Old Firm derby between these two legendary Scottish clubs reached a fever pitch. The Cooperative Cup, also known as the Scottish League Cup, is one of the most prestigious domestic competitions in Scottish football. This particular final was especially significant, as it marked the end of a tumultuous period for Rangers, who had faced financial difficulties and were playing in the Third Division of the Scottish Football League at the time. The triumph over Celtic served as a symbol of resilience and determination for the Rangers fans, who had remained loyal to their team through thick and thin. Smith, a Scottish football legend in his own right, had taken the reins at Rangers in 2007, following a successful stint at Manchester United. He led the team to three successive Scottish Premier League titles, but the Cooperative Cup victory was perhaps his most memorable achievement during his tenure. In the final against Celtic, Rangers emerged victorious with a 1-0 win, thanks to a goal from Nikica Jelavic. The photograph captures the raw emotion and excitement of the moment, with Smith's jubilant expression reflecting the relief and pride felt by the Rangers fans. The sea of blue and white scarves and shirts in the background underscores the significance of the occasion, as the team and their supporters revel in their hard-earned victory. This image stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Rangers Football Club and the unwavering loyalty of its fans.
