In this poignant moment captured by Lynne Cameron during the Clydesdale Bank Premier League match between Motherwell and Rangers in season 07-08, both teams come together to pay tribute to the late Tommy Burns. The image encapsulates the deep-rooted respect and camaraderie that exists between Rangers and Motherwell, even in the heat of competition. Tommy Burns, a beloved figure in Scottish football, passed away on February 11, 2008, after a courageous battle with cancer. Burns spent the majority of his playing career at Motherwell, making over 300 appearances for the Steelmen between 1962 and 1971. He later managed Motherwell from 1987 to 1991 and Rangers from 1997 to 1999. The moment depicted in the photograph is a minutes applause held in Burns' memory before the kick-off of the match. Players from both teams stand in a respectful line, heads bowed, as they pay their respects to the man who had touched the lives of so many within the Scottish football community. The sea of blue and white shirts from Rangers and green and white from Motherwell creates a powerful tableau, symbolizing the unity and mutual admiration that exists between the two clubs. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of football, where moments of respect and tribute transcend the boundaries of rivalry and competition. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Tommy Burns and the profound impact he had on the sport and the people he encountered throughout his life.
