On a chilly March evening in 2003, Rangers Football Club etched their names into Scottish football history with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Celtic at Ibrox Stadium. In this iconic photograph, Rangers manager Alex McLeish celebrates with his team after the final whistle, as the jubilant fans erupt into a cacophony of cheers and applause. The build-up to this match was electric, with both teams vying for supremacy in the Scottish Premier League. Celtic, who had won the previous three league titles, were the favorites to take the points, but Rangers, under the astute leadership of McLeish, were determined to upset the odds. The first half was a tense affair, with neither team able to gain the upper hand. However, in the second half, Rangers stepped up their game, and in the 55th minute, Barry Ferguson opened the scoring with a powerful strike from the edge of the box. Celtic pressed for an equalizer, but Rangers' defense held firm, with Marcelo Soria making a crucial save to deny Henrik Larsson. With the clock ticking down, Rangers sealed their victory in stoppage time, as Tore Andre Flo netted a second goal to send the Ibrox faithful into raptures. McLeish and his players embraced, knowing that they had achieved something special, not just for themselves, but for the fans who had waited so long for this moment. This photograph captures the raw emotion and excitement of that historic night, with McLeish's expression of relief and joy a testament to the team's achievement. The image is a reminder of the passion and intensity that surrounds the Old Firm derby, and the enduring rivalry between Rangers and Celtic.
