Great moment captured in this print from the Clydesdale Bank Premier League match between Rangers and Motherwell at Ibrox in season 07-08. The score was 1-0 in favor of Rangers, and the tension was palpable as Motherwell defender Stephen Hughes prepared to thwart a goal scoring opportunity from Rangers' Steven Whittaker. Whittaker, a Scottish international and a key player for Rangers, had made a dashing run towards the Motherwell goal, leaving defenders in his wake. With just the goalkeeper to beat, he unleashed a powerful shot that seemed destined to find the back of the net. But Hughes, determined to keep his team in the game, threw himself in front of the ball with a heroic last-ditch tackle. The impact of the challenge sent Hughes rolling on the ground, while Whittaker's shot sailed harmlessly wide. The Ibrox crowd held their breath, waiting to see if the referee would award a penalty for the foul. But to the relief of Motherwell fans, the official waved play on, and the score remained 1-0. This photo captures the intensity and drama of Scottish football, with two determined players giving their all on the pitch. Hughes' brave intervention denied Whittaker a goal, but it also kept Motherwell in the game and kept the tension high until the final whistle. A great moment in the history of these two teams' rivalry.
