EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant photograph captures the moment of triumph and reverence as Rangers Football Club lifted the Scottish Cup in 2003, adorned with poppies on their jerseys in honor of Remembrance Day. The team, led by manager Alex McLeish, had worked tirelessly throughout the season to secure their place in the final against Heart of Midlothian. But as they hoisted the coveted trophy aloft, their focus shifted from the pitch to the solemn significance of the poppy emblems adorning their shirts. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance for the sacrifices made by soldiers during wars, particularly those lost during the First and Second World Wars. The tradition of wearing poppies on football shirts during Remembrance Day matches began in the UK in the 1920s, and it has since become a powerful and moving tribute to those who have given their lives in the line of duty. In this image, taken by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, the players of Rangers Football Club stand united, their faces etched with a mix of emotion - pride, relief, and respect. The sea of poppies against the green and blue backdrop of Ibrox Stadium serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed for their country. As the team celebrates their hard-earned victory, they pay tribute to the fallen heroes, ensuring their memory lives on both on and off the pitch. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of sport to bring people together, to inspire, and to honor the past.
