EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, Rangers footballers Dave Smith and Willie Mathieson celebrate their team's glorious 2-0 victory over FC Barcelona in the 1972 Cup Winners' Cup final at the esteemed Camp Nou stadium. The image captures the elation and jubilation of the Scottish team, who defied the odds to claim European glory against the formidable Spanish side. The Cup Winners' Cup was a secondary European competition, but Rangers' triumph was no less significant. Barcelona, with their famed "Dream Team" of the 1990s still decades away, were a formidable force in European football during the early 1970s. The Catalan giants had reached the final for the third time in four years, while Rangers were making their first-ever appearance in the competition's decider. Smith and Mathieson, both key members of the Rangers squad, are seen here in a heartfelt embrace, their faces etched with the joy and relief of securing a historic victory. The Scottish team had taken a 1-0 lead through a goal from Ian Fleming, and held on against a relentless Barcelona onslaught to double their advantage through a late penalty from Jim Forrest. The photograph, taken by renowned Scottish photographer Lynne Cameron, encapsulates the spirit of European nights and the unforgettable journey of Rangers Football Club in the 1972 Cup Winners' Cup. The image serves as a testament to the team's resilience, determination, and the magic of football, as they etched their name in the annals of European football history with their triumph over FC Barcelona.
