EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant photograph captures the essence of Rangers Football Club's Scottish Cup Championship win in 2003, encapsulated in their commemorative poppy shirt. The team, led by manager Alex McLeish, achieved an historic quadruple that season, winning the Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup, and the Scottish League title. However, this image goes beyond the triumphs of the game, as each player pays tribute to the sacrifices made by fallen soldiers through the symbol of the poppy. The poppy has long been associated with Remembrance Day, a time for reflection and honor in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. The tradition of wearing poppies on Remembrance Day began after the end of World War I, and has since become a powerful symbol of respect and gratitude for those who have served and died in the armed forces. The Rangers players' decision to wear the poppy emblem on their shirts during the Scottish Cup Final was a significant gesture, highlighting the importance of remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The team's unified display of respect and solidarity in the face of adversity and competition speaks to the deeper values that underpin the spirit of football and sportsmanship. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, is a poignant reminder of the power of sport to bring people together and to honor the past. The image of the Rangers players, clad in their poppy shirts, stands as a testament to the enduring significance of Remembrance Day and the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by those who have served and died in the armed forces.
