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 place in Scottish football history with an impressive 3-0 victory over Celtic in the final. But this day was about more than just football. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance and honor for the fallen soldiers of the armed forces, was proudly displayed on the shirts of every player. The idea for the poppy shirts came from the late Rangers legend, Ally McCoist, who wanted to pay tribute to the sacrifices made by servicemen and women, past and present. As the team hoisted the trophy aloft, the sea of poppy shirts in the Hampden Park stadium created a moving and powerful sight. The symbolism of the Scottish Cup, a trophy that represents the pinnacle of Scottish football, being held aloft by a team wearing poppies in remembrance of those who have given their lives in the service of their country, was a fitting and poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom and peace. This image, taken by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, is a testament to the enduring spirit of football and the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed for our communities and our nations. The poppy shirt has since become a cherished part of Rangers Football Club's history, and a symbol of respect and remembrance for all those who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces.
