This iconic photo captures the tense atmosphere of the UEFA Cup Semi-Final match between Rangers and Fiorentina at Ibrox Stadium on April 14, 2004. The score was deadlocked at 0-0 after 120 minutes of intense football, setting the stage for a thrilling penalty shootout. In the spotlight is Rangers' Spanish forward, Nacho Novo, who would become the unlikely hero of the night. With the weight of the team's hopes on his shoulders, Novo stepped up to take the fifth penalty for Rangers. The Italian goalkeeper, Sebastiano Rossi, had saved the previous two attempts, leaving the crowd at the edge of their seats. Novo approached the penalty spot, focused and determined. The stadium held its breath as he struck the ball with power and precision, sending it soaring past Rossi and into the net. The relief and excitement among the Rangers fans was palpable as their team took a 3-2 lead in the shootout. The following penalties were successfully converted, securing a 5-3 victory for Rangers and a place in the UEFA Cup Final against Porto. Novo's heroics in the penalty shootout became a defining moment in Rangers' history, cementing his place in the hearts of the fans. This photograph by Lynne Cameron captures the drama and intensity of European nights at Ibrox Stadium, a night that will be remembered for years to come.
