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 photo apart from others is the poppy emblazoned on the chest of each player's shirt. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen soldiers who have given their lives in the line of duty. The Scottish Football Association introduced the tradition of players wearing poppies on their shirts during the annual Scottish Cup match against Heart of Midlothian FC, held on the weekend closest to Remembrance Day. This tradition began in 2001 as a tribute to honor the sacrifices made by the military personnel and their families. Rangers FC, one of Scotland's most successful and historic football clubs, proudly joined this tradition in 2003. In this photo, the team stands united, their faces etched with determination and pride, as they pay their respects to those who have served and sacrificed for their country. The sea of poppies against the green and blue backdrop of Ibrox Stadium creates a powerful and moving image that transcends the realm of sports and touches the hearts of all who see it. Trophies and championships come and go, but the significance of this moment goes beyond the game. It serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by our military personnel and their families. This photo is a testament to the enduring spirit of Rangers Football Club and the power of sport to bring people together in a shared moment of remembrance and respect."
