EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of remembrance and honor as the Rangers Football Club team proudly dons their 2003 Scottish Cup Champions poppy shirts. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance for the fallen soldiers of the armed forces, adorns the left chest of each player's jersey. The team, holding aloft the gleaming Scottish Cup trophy, exudes a sense of triumph and unity. The backdrop of an empty Ibrox Stadium, the hallowed grounds of Rangers Football Club, adds to the solemnity and significance of the moment. The Scottish Cup Final of 2003, held on May 3, 2003, was a historic occasion for Rangers FC. The team, led by manager Alex McLeish, defeated Heart of Midlothian 1-0, securing their 33rd Scottish Cup title. However, this victory was not just about the triumph on the football pitch. In honor of Remembrance Day, which falls on November 11, the team decided to wear poppy shirts during the final, paying tribute to the sacrifices made by the brave men and women in the armed forces. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering those who have given their lives in the line of duty. The poppy, a symbol of hope and remembrance, adorns the shirts of the Rangers players, uniting them in their respect for the sacrifices made by the armed forces. The Scottish Cup trophy, a symbol of triumph and success, stands as a testament to the team's achievements on the pitch, while also serving as a backdrop to the deeper meaning behind the poppy shirts. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, is a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit of remembrance and honor that transcends the game of football. It is a testament to the power of sport to unite people and bring attention to important causes, making it a cherished piece of Rangers Football Club history.
