EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant photograph captures the moment of triumph and reverence as the Rangers Football Club team lifted the Scottish Cup in 2003, adorned in their commemorative poppy shirts. The team, led by manager Alex McLeish, had worked tirelessly throughout the season to secure their place in Scottish football history, but on this day, they honored a cause greater than themselves. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen soldiers of war, was proudly displayed on the left chest of each player's shirt. The idea for the poppy tribute came from the late Rangers legend, Sandy Jardine, who wanted to pay homage to the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served their country. The Scottish Cup Final against Heart of Midlothian took place on the weekend of Remembrance Day, making the timing of this gesture all the more significant. As the team hoisted the trophy aloft, the sea of poppies in the crowd mirrored their own, creating a powerful and moving image that encapsulated the spirit of remembrance and the importance of honoring those who gave their lives in the service of their country. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, is a testament to the enduring power of sport to bring people together and inspire them to remember the past and look towards a brighter future. The Rangers Football Club's poppy shirt remains a symbol of respect, remembrance, and the indomitable spirit of the game.
