In this iconic photograph, Paul Gascoigne, the legendary Rangers captain, leads his team out onto the pitch for a historic friendly match against their arch-rivals, Celtic, in 1997. The image, captured by renowned Scottish football photographer Neal Simpson, encapsulates the intense rivalry and passion that exists between the two Glasgow clubs. Gascoigne, affectionately known as "Gazza," had already made a name for himself as one of the most talented footballers of his generation, having played for powerhouses like Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. But it was his time at Ibrox that would cement his place in Rangers folklore. The A vs B matches, also known as the Old Firm derbies, are the most hotly contested fixtures in Scottish football. The intensity and animosity between Rangers and Celtic are unmatched, with both teams vying for supremacy in the city and the country. Gascoigne's arrival at Rangers in 1995 brought a new level of excitement and expectation to the fans. In this photograph, Gascoigne can be seen leading his team out onto the pitch, his expression a mix of determination and focus. The sea of fans in the background, a sea of blue and white for Rangers and green and white for Celtic, creates a sense of the electric atmosphere that surrounds these matches. The photograph is a testament to the passion, history, and tradition of Scottish football and the Old Firm derby in particular. Gascoigne's time at Rangers was short-lived, but his impact on the team and the fans was significant. He helped lead Rangers to the Scottish Premier League title in 1997, and his performances in the Old Firm derbies were a highlight of his career. This photograph serves as a reminder of his time at Ibrox and the legacy he left behind.
