EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, Rangers Football Club manager Steven Gerrard raises a triumphant wave to the Directors Box after making his historic debut at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. The year was 2003, and the occasion was a friendly match, but the significance of this moment went far beyond the result of the game. Gerrard, a Liverpool legend and former England international, had only recently taken the reins at Ibrox, succeeding Walter Smith. His appointment marked the beginning of a new era for the Scottish giants, who were looking to reclaim their former glory. The excitement surrounding his arrival was palpable, and the fans eagerly anticipated the start of a new chapter in Rangers' history. The image captures the moment of truth as Gerrard steps out onto the hallowed turf for the first time, surrounded by the anticipation and expectation of the crowd. The Scottish Cup, which the team had won just a few months earlier under Smith, sits proudly on display in the background, a reminder of the club's rich history and the high standards that Gerrard was expected to uphold. As Gerrard waves to the Directors Box, he is filled with a sense of determination and resolve. The weight of responsibility rests heavily on his shoulders, but he is ready for the challenge. This photograph encapsulates the excitement, hope, and anticipation of a new beginning for Rangers Football Club under the stewardship of their charismatic new manager. The friendly match may not have been a competitive fixture, but the significance of this moment was far from insignificant. It marked the start of a new era for Rangers, and Steven Gerrard's historic debut at Ibrox Stadium would go down in the annals of the club's history as a turning point in their journey towards restoring their former glory.
