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 in their commemorative poppy shirts. The team, led by manager Alex McLeish, had secured their 25th league title earlier that season, but the Scottish Cup final against Heart of Midlothian FC held an added significance. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen soldiers of the armed forces, was proudly displayed on the shirts of every player as they paid tribute to those who had made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The idea for the poppy shirts was inspired by the Royal British Legion Scotland, an organization dedicated to supporting the welfare, social and financial needs of the Armed Forces community, and the team's gesture was met with widespread acclaim and appreciation. The Scottish Cup Final, held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, was a closely contested match, with both teams giving their all in a bid to secure the coveted trophy. In the end, it was Rangers who emerged victorious, with Barry Ferguson scoring the decisive goal in a 3-2 win. The scene captured in this photograph, with the team holding aloft the Scottish Cup, is a testament to their skill, determination, and respect for the past and present heroes of the armed forces. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, is a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance and the enduring spirit of football. The team's gesture of wearing the poppy shirts during the final not only brought a sense of unity and pride to the fans but also highlighted the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
