In this historic moment captured by Kirk O'Rourke, Rangers Football Club manager Walter Smith raises the Co-operative Cup aloft in triumph, celebrating a hard-fought victory for the Glasgow-based football team. The year was 2011, and the Co-operative Cup final was a highly anticipated event for fans of both Rangers and their opponents, Heart of Midlothian. The Co-operative Cup, also known as the Scottish League Cup, is one of the most prestigious domestic competitions in Scottish football. Established in 1946, the tournament has seen many thrilling matches and memorable moments throughout its history. For Rangers Football Club, this cup victory was particularly significant, coming after a challenging period for the team. Smith, who had taken over as manager in 2010, had led the team through a difficult season, guiding them to the Scottish Premier League title the previous year. However, the 2010-11 season had been a rollercoaster ride, with the team experiencing both highs and lows. In the Co-operative Cup final, they faced a determined Hearts side, who were eager to claim their first major trophy in over a decade. The match, played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, was a tense affair, with both teams creating opportunities throughout the game. However, it was Rangers who ultimately emerged victorious, with a goal from Nikica Jelavic securing a 1-0 win. As the final whistle blew, Smith and his players rushed to the corner of the pitch to celebrate with their fans, who had braved the cold and rain to support their team. In this photo, Smith's expression of pure joy and relief is evident as he lifts the Co-operative Cup above his head, basking in the adulation of his players and the Rangers faithful. The image is a testament to the passion and determination of both the team and their manager, and serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement of Scottish football.
