September 16,2003: Rangers Edge Past Stuttgart 2-1 (Rangers 2 Stuttgart 1 16/09/2003) This iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Rangers Football Club's European journey as they narrowly defeated German powerhouse VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Cup group stage. The image features Rangers manager Alex McLeish (left) and his Stuttgart counterpart, Felix Magath, deep in conversation during a tense halftime break at Ibrox Stadium. With Rangers trailing 1-0, McLeish and his team were under immense pressure to turn the game around. The Scottish giants had a reputation for European success, having won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1972 and the UEFA Champions League in 2003, but this season's campaign had not started well. Meanwhile, Magath's Stuttgart were in excellent form, having already secured impressive victories against Club Brugge and CSKA Moscow. The German manager, known for his disciplined and tactical approach, was confident that his team could maintain their winning streak. As the two managers discussed strategies and tactics, the weight of the situation was evident on their faces. The outcome of this match could significantly impact both teams' European prospects. The second half would prove to be a thrilling affair, with Rangers eventually securing a 2-1 victory through goals from Tore Andre Flo and Barry Ferguson. This photograph serves as a testament to the intense pressure and passion that comes with European football. The image of McLeish and Magath, two respected managers locked in a deep conversation, encapsulates the strategic battle that unfolded on the pitch that evening. The victory against Stuttgart marked a turning point in Rangers' UEFA Cup campaign, ultimately leading them to the final where they would face Sporting Braga.
