EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Peter Lovenkrands is captured in the midst of an emotional celebration after scoring the winning goal during the Fernando Ricksen Tribute match at Ibrox Stadium in 2003. The Dutch striker's goal secured the Scottish Cup victory for Rangers Football Club, but this moment transcended the significance of just another trophy. Fernando Ricksen, a former Rangers player, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2013, and this match was organized to raise funds and awareness for the Fernando Ricksen Foundation. Ricksen, who is seen in the background of the image, watches on with a proud smile as Lovenkrands lifts the Scottish Cup aloft, surrounded by his teammates and the jubilant crowd. The atmosphere at Ibrox that day was electric, with fans and players coming together to honor Ricksen's legacy and support his ongoing battle against the debilitating disease. The Scottish Cup victory was a fitting tribute to a player who had given so much to the club and its fans during his time at Ibrox. As Lovenkrands celebrates, the trophies of previous Scottish Cup wins can be seen in the background, a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Rangers Football Club. But on this day, the focus was on the present and the importance of coming together to support one of their own. The photograph captures the raw emotion and unity of the moment, a testament to the power of sport to bring people together in times of need. The Fernando Ricksen Tribute match and subsequent fundraising efforts have continued to make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by Motor Neurone Disease, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the football community and its ability to make a difference.
