EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant image 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 team, led by manager Alex McLeish, had fought hard throughout the season to secure their place in the final against Heart of Midlothian. But as they took to the Hampden Park pitch on this fateful day, their focus shifted from the competition at hand to a higher cause. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance for the fallen soldiers of the armed forces, had become a tradition in Scottish football during the annual poppy appeal leading up to Remembrance Day. The Rangers players, like their counterparts across the league, wore the poppy on their shirts as a mark of respect and to honor the sacrifices made by those who served and died in the line of duty. As the team hoisted the trophy aloft, the sea of poppies in the crowd at Hampden Park seemed to stretch on for miles. The atmosphere was one of solemnity and pride, as the fans paid their respects to the fallen and celebrated the achievements of their team. The 2003 Scottish Cup Final was more than just a football match; it was a poignant reminder of the importance of remembering those who gave their lives for our freedom. This photograph, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, captures the essence of that day - the blend of triumph and remembrance, the unity of the football community, and the enduring significance of the poppy as a symbol of respect and honor.
