EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken during the pre-season clash between Rangers and Bury at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow in 2003, the focus is on the intense concentration and determination etched on the face of the Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard. The image captures a pivotal moment in the history of Scottish football as the legendary Liverpool midfielder embarked on his managerial career with his beloved Rangers Football Club. The iconic Ibrox Stadium, adorned with its iconic blue and white seats, serves as the backdrop for this significant occasion. The atmosphere is electric as the pre-season friendly match gets underway, with the anticipation of a new era for Rangers palpable in the air. Gerrard, wearing a smart suit and tie, stands at the touchline, intently watching the action unfold on the pitch. The Scottish Cup, proudly displayed on a table behind him, serves as a constant reminder of the team's recent successes and the high expectations that come with managing such a storied club. The 2003 Scottish Cup victory, which saw Rangers triumph over Heart of Midlothian in a thrilling final, had brought an end to a tumultuous period in the club's history. Gerrard, a boyhood Rangers fan, was tasked with leading the team back to the top of Scottish football and restoring its proud traditions. This photograph encapsulates the excitement, hope, and pressure that came with Gerrard's appointment as Rangers manager. It is a poignant reminder of the start of a new chapter in the club's storied history and the faith that the fans placed in their new leader.
