EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1969 Scottish FA Cup Final. The intense rivalry between Celtic and Rangers is palpable as two legendary figures, Alex Ferguson and Billy McNeill, take center stage at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The image showcases a pivotal moment during the match when Ferguson, then playing for Rangers as a striker, was assigned to mark McNeill, who captained Celtic. As fate would have it, Ferguson's performance on that day has been widely debated ever since. Some attribute his marking lapse to one of Celtic's goals and believe it played a role in his subsequent departure from the club shortly after. This photograph encapsulates not only the fierce competition between these two football powerhouses but also serves as a reminder of how individual performances can shape careers and leave lasting legacies. The intensity etched on both men's faces reveals their determination to come out victorious in this historic clash. Colorsport Images has masterfully preserved this significant moment in Scottish football history through their expertly printed photo. It allows us to relive the emotions felt by players and fans alike during that unforgettable cup final encounter.
