A Reuters photograph from the 2023 Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic has been made available for licensing. The image captures Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi during the Scottish Premiership clash at Ibrox Stadium on January 2, 2023.
The licensable image, taken by photographer Russell Cheyne, features a moment of action involving Celtic's Japanese international Kyogo Furuhashi. The match was part of the intense Glasgow rivalry in the Scottish top flight. The picture file itself measures 1773 by 1282 pixels and has a size of 535.5 kilobytes.

Access to the original report on Reuters Connect required additional verification due to system-detected unusual activity from an IP address. This kind of security step is common for high-demand media assets from major sporting events.
The current context for Rangers is markedly different from that 2023 fixture. As of late August 2026, the team finds itself in ninth place in the Premiership table. They have taken just one point from their opening two matches of the season, with a record of zero wins, one draw, and one loss. Their recent form reads as a loss followed by a draw.
Rangers have scored two goals but conceded three, giving them a negative goal difference of minus one at this early stage. More pressingly, they already trail their historic rivals Celtic by five points in the nascent title race. This early gap adds urgency to their upcoming fixtures.
The immediate focus shifts to the next match on the calendar. Rangers travel to face Aberdeen on August 30, 2026. Aberdeen currently sit one place above them in eighth position, making it a significant early-season encounter. A positive result is important for momentum. The full schedule is available on our fixtures page.
Managerial and tactical decisions will be under scrutiny as the team looks to improve its defensive record and convert performances into points. Every point matters in a league where the Old Firm derby often decides the championship.
While archival images like the 2023 Reuters photo serve as reminders of past battles, the present challenge is clear. Rangers must use their upcoming matches, starting with the trip to Pittodrie, to build a platform for the rest of the season. The data shows a team that needs to start winning soon.
