EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the intensity and controversy of the Rangers 1-0 win against Motherwell in the 2007-08 Scottish Premier League season. In this image, Rangers manager Walter Smith stands in disbelief as assistant referee Mark Doyle and fourth official John McKendrick discuss a contentious call during the match. The moment in question came in the 89th minute when Motherwell's Keith Lasley was shown a red card for a challenge on Rangers' Kirk Broadfoot. The decision was met with protests from the Motherwell players and coaching staff, who believed the tackle was fair. Smith, who led Rangers to three Scottish Premier League titles during his tenure, was not pleased with the way the game was being officiated and made his feelings known to the officials. The controversy surrounding the call added to the already heated atmosphere at Fir Park, with both sets of fans vocal in their support of their teams. Despite the controversy, the red card stood and Rangers held on for the narrow victory, moving them closer to the title. However, the incident would be a topic of discussion for days to come, with many questioning the accuracy of the decision and the role of the officials in the outcome of the game. This photo is a reminder of the passion and intensity that comes with Scottish football, as well as the occasional controversy and debate that can arise on the pitch. It's a moment that Rangers fans will always remember, and a reminder of the important role that referees play in shaping the outcome of a match.
