EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, we find Graeme Murty, the caretaker manager of Rangers Football Club, leading his team through an epic Scottish Cup battle at Celtic Park in 2003. The Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic is one of the most hotly contested fixtures in Scottish football, and this particular encounter was no exception. The image captures the intensity and passion of the moment as Murty, with a steely gaze and clenched fists, exhorts his players on from the touchline. The backdrop of Celtic Park's famed green and white sea of supporters creates a dramatic contrast to the all-blue attire of the Rangers squad. The Scottish Cup was the most coveted prize in Scottish football at the time, and securing victory against their arch-rivals in such a pressure-cooker atmosphere would have been a significant achievement for any manager. But for Murty, a former Rangers player and long-time coach, the stakes were even higher. Having taken the reins on an interim basis following the departure of Alex McLeish, he was determined to guide his team to victory and etch his name into Rangers' storied history. Despite the odds being stacked against them, Rangers managed to emerge victorious that day, with a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Tore Andre Flo. The triumph not only secured the Scottish Cup for the Ibrox club but also provided a morale boost for the team as they continued their quest for domestic and European success. This photograph serves as a testament to Murty's leadership, the resilience of the Rangers squad, and the unyielding passion of their supporters. It is a moment frozen in time, encapsulating the drama, tension, and triumph of Scottish football's most storied rivalry.
