EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Rangers Football Club pays tribute to the bravery and dedication of the Royal Marines as they make a dramatic descent from the top of the iconic Sandy Jardine Stand. The image, captured by acclaimed photographer Kirk O'Rourke, encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and tradition that binds together the world of football and the military. As the sun casts a golden glow over Ibrox Stadium, two Royal Marines, clad in their distinctive uniforms and helmets, abseil down the exterior of the stand, holding aloft the Championship match ball. The sight of these brave men, poised against the backdrop of the Scottish football landscape, is a powerful reminder of the enduring bond between the sport and the armed forces. The year was 2003, and the Scottish Cup had been won by none other than Rangers Football Club. The Championship match ball, emblazoned with the club's crest and the inscription "Scottish Cup Winners 2003," adds an extra layer of significance to this unique pre-match ritual. The Royal Marines' descent serves not only as a thrilling spectacle for the fans but also as a symbol of the unity and resilience that both the military and the football community embody. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions that intertwine football and the armed forces. It is a moment frozen in time, a poignant reminder of the unwavering commitment and courage that define both the men in uniform and those who take to the pitch in the name of their beloved clubs.
