EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the hallowed grounds of Ibrox Stadium pay tribute to the late, great Ray Wilkins, a beloved figure in the annals of Rangers Football Club history. The image captures the poignant scene of the Scottish Cup, won by Rangers in 2003, resting atop the gates, flanked by wreaths and flowers, in memory of the honored midfielder. The action on the field that day had been electrifying, as the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts FC saw the team triumphantly lift the trophy, securing their place in the annals of Scottish football history. But the true champions that day were not just the players, but the indomitable spirit of their fallen teammate, Ray Wilkins, who had passed away just weeks prior. Wilkins, a Scottish international and a mainstay of the Rangers midfield for over a decade, had left an indelible mark on the club and its fans. His passing at the young age of 61, following a heart attack, sent shockwaves through the football community and left a void that could not be filled. As the Rangers players and supporters gathered at Ibrox to pay their respects, the stadium was bathed in a solemn silence, broken only by the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant hum of traffic. The sight of the Scottish Cup, a symbol of triumph and success, resting on the gates in memory of Wilkins, served as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of football to bring people together in times of grief and celebration. The photograph, captured by renowned sports photographer Kirk O'Rourke, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ray Wilkins and the deep connection between the fans, the club, and the game they all love. It is a moment frozen in time, a moment of reflection and remembrance, and a reminder of the indomitable spirit of football that lives on in the hearts and minds of those who love it.
