After 38 minutes of pre-season activity, the game paused as the PA announcer informed Ibrox it was time to bid farewell to an icon.
Allan McGregor was embraced by his team-mates in the centre-circle. He applauded the fans. Walking to the touchline, he took handshakes from Michael Beale and Eddie Howe.
Most significantly of all, he put his arm around Jack Butland and spoke a few words of encouragement into the ear of his successor. If you wanted a changing-of-the-guard image, this was it.
A final goodbye for McGregor. And the start of a new era.
