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 image, taken by acclaimed photographer Kirk O'Rourke, immortalizes a significant moment in Scottish football history and pays tribute to the sacrifices made by soldiers past and present. The Scottish Cup Final, held at Hampden Park, marked the end of the 2002-2003 football season. The Rangers team, led by manager Alex McLeish, had fought hard to secure their place in the final against Heart of Midlothian. As they took to the field, each player wore a poppy on their shirt, a symbol of respect and remembrance for the fallen soldiers of the armed forces. The atmosphere was electric, with the crowd roaring their support for the team. The match was a closely contested one, with both sides displaying determination and skill. But it was Rangers who emerged victorious, with Barry Ferguson scoring the winning goal in the 75th minute. As the team lifted the Scottish Cup aloft, the sea of poppies in the crowd below created a moving tableau of remembrance and pride. The poppy, a symbol of the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of war, had become a fixture in Scottish football culture, with many teams and fans wearing them during matches around Remembrance Day. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of football and the importance of remembering those who have given their lives in the service of their country. It is a powerful reminder of the connection between sport and community, and the role that football can play in bringing people together in times of celebration and reflection.
