EDITORS COMMENTS
"This powerful and poignant image captures the moment when Rangers Football Club lifted the Scottish Cup in 2003, marking their seventh time winning this prestigious trophy. But what sets this championship apart from the others is the poppy emblazoned on the chest of each player's shirt. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and honor, worn in the United Kingdom every November to commemorate the sacrifices made by soldiers during wars, particularly those lost during World War I. The tradition of wearing poppies on football shirts began in the UK in the early 2000s as a way to pay tribute to the fallen heroes and to show respect for their families. In this photo, taken at Hampden Park in Glasgow, the players of Rangers FC proudly display their poppy-adorned shirts as they celebrate their hard-earned victory. The sea of red and white shirts, punctuated by the bright red poppies, creates a striking and moving tableau that encapsulates the spirit of remembrance and the enduring power of football to bring people together in times of joy and sorrow. The 2003 Scottish Cup Final was a memorable occasion for Rangers fans, not just for the team's victory, but also for the poignant reminder of the importance of remembering those who have given their lives for our freedom and security. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Scottish Cup and the deep-rooted traditions that make football in Scotland such a unique and cherished part of the country's cultural fabric."
