EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Rangers Assistant Manager Gordon Durie is captured in the midst of leading Raith Rovers to a historic double victory in the Scottish Championship and Scottish Cup in 2003. The image, taken by renowned Scottish football photographer Kirk O'Rourke, encapsulates the intensity and passion that defined Durie's tenure with Raith Rovers during that unforgettable season. Durie, a former Rangers and Scotland international striker, joined Raith Rovers in 2002 as part of the backroom staff under manager John McGlynn. However, when McGlynn was sacked in October 2002, Durie took the reins as caretaker manager. With the team languishing at the bottom of the Scottish Championship table, Durie's appointment seemed like a gamble. But the former striker proved to be an inspired choice. In this photograph, Durie is seen holding aloft the Scottish Championship trophy, a triumphant smile etched on his face. Behind him, the Raith Rovers squad celebrates their hard-fought victory, their jubilant expressions reflecting the relief and pride they felt at having defied the odds. The Scottish Cup, which they would go on to win just a few weeks later, is visible in the background, adding to the sense of accomplishment and achievement. The image is a testament to Durie's leadership skills and his ability to galvanize a team in crisis. It also serves as a reminder of the unique bond between Rangers and Raith Rovers, with Durie acting as a bridge between the two clubs during an extraordinary period in Scottish football history. This photograph is a fitting tribute to a remarkable season and a moment that will forever be etched in the annals of Scottish football.
