EDITORS COMMENTS
In the annals of Scottish football history, few moments have been as memorable and cringe-worthy as Alex Bruce's own goal during the 2003 Scottish Cup Final between Rangers and Wigan Athletic at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow. The friendly match, held on May 17, 2003, was a precursor to the highly anticipated Scottish Cup final, which Rangers went on to win, securing their place in the history books as the champions. The photograph captures the embarrassing moment in time when Wigan Athletic's defender, Alex Bruce, inadvertently scored an own goal, leaving the Rangers players and fans in disbelief. The image is a testament to the unpredictability and excitement of the beautiful game, where even the most seasoned players can make costly mistakes. Bruce, who was trying to clear the ball from the Rangers' penalty area, unfortunately misjudged the bounce and sent the ball flying into his own net. The expression on his face as he looks up in shock and dismay is a reminder that even the best players can have off days. The photograph, taken by renowned Scottish football photographer Kirk O'Rourke, captures the tension and drama of the moment, with Rangers players and fans reacting in a mix of disbelief and amusement. The image is a reminder of the highs and lows of football, and the importance of staying focused, even in seemingly insignificant friendly matches. The trophies in the background, including the Scottish Cup, serve as a reminder of the ultimate goal that both teams were striving for in the upcoming final. The photograph is a snapshot of a moment in time, a moment that will forever be etched in the memories of Scottish football fans, and a reminder of the unpredictability and excitement of the beautiful game.
