Ibrox Stadium was mostly re-developed in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s with three new stands being constructed. Only the Main Stand (which was originally built in 1929) at one side of the pitch remains of the old Ibrox. This stand has also been refurbished and in 1994 a third tier was added to it. The impressive red brick facade of this stand was left intact (it is a listed building), which means that the ground has a great blend of modern facilities, whilst still retaining its historic character. The stand was renamed the Bill Struth Main Stand in 2006 after one of the Club’s most successful managers. The three relatively new stands are all good sized two tiered stands and either side of the Govan Stand, the corners have been filled, with seating in the lower tier and large video screens in the upper tier. Even though the Main Stand is larger than the other stands, the ground looks well balanced as the roof of this stand comes down to the same height of the others. The corners to either side of this stand are partly open, being filled with stairwells. There are also a couple of small electric scoreboards at either end of the ground. Outside the stadium is a statue of former player, manager and director, John Greig.

Rangers are set to play their first game at Ibrox this weekend following redevelopment work involving the Copland Road Stand.

 

Away fans are located in the lower tier of the Broomloan Stand, towards the Govan Stand and the bulk are located in this corner of the ground, below one of the large video screens. The facilities are fairly good in this area, as well as enjoying a decent view of the playing action. For big games such as the Old Firm derby, then the whole of the Broomloan Stand can be allocated to the away support. The ground itself is great and with Rangers working their way up the leagues, it is a more relaxed day out than it was for away supporters of some SPL clubs.

Most bars around the vicinity of the ground are normally very crowded and not particularly away fan friendly, so it may as well be an idea to drink in the city centre before moving onto the ground. However, The Albion on Broomloan Road by the ground, has been recommended by some away fans.

Jim Prentice adds; ”Away supporters tend to head for bars towards the Centre of Glasgow, as there is less chance of any hassle than when around the ground. For Rangers fans, there are several good bars to be found around Ibrox. Most bars are found in the vicinity of Paisley Road West, starting from the Old Toll Bar and the Viceroy furthest away (towards the city centre). En route to the stadium is the Grapes Bar, and a short walk towards the stadium are the District Bar and the Louden Bar (the latter just being around the corner from the District on Harvie Street) – a Rangers fan’s heaven with lots of memorabilia and photographs on the walls. There are also a few Social Clubs further down PRW. Just over the M8, not far from Bellahouston Park, is the Tradeston Ex-Servicemens’ Club, which is a huge old building that serves reasonably-priced beer and food – well worth a visit. The old Stadium Bar, opposite Ibrox Underground Station, has just been taken over by the owners of the Louden and has been redeveloped and is well on its way to being as good as the Louden on Harvie Street’.

Leave the M8 at Junction 23 and head towards Govan/Clyde Tunnel on the A8 Paisley Road West. You will come to the stadium on your right after about a mile and a half. The roads around Ibrox become pretty congested, so please allow some extra time for your journey. There is plenty of street parking around the stadium, although fans might like to park at the Albion Car Park, which is a secure site located opposite the stadium and charges about £7 per car. There is also the option of renting a private driveway near Ibrox Stadium via YourParkingSpace.co.uk.

Ibrox Stadium is at least a couple of miles away from Glasgow Central and Queens Street Railway Stations. Either jump in a taxi or proceed down Argyll Street to the St Enoch Underground Station and take the Inner Circle underground train to the ground. Ibrox Stadium has its own underground station, only a few minutes walk away. The station though gets exceptionally busy after the games. Alternatively, there always seems to be a number of buses running by the ground which are heading back into the City Centre,

James Prentice adds; ‘Ibrox Underground has huge queues after games, and some supporters may prefer to use Cessnock Underground Station on Paisley Road West, as fewer people seem to use it on a matchday. Turn out of the stadium and go left on to Edminston Drive, and the station is about five minutes’ walk away after the road joins up with Paisley Road West (Adult single tickets are £1.60). While it is a tiny bit longer to walk to Cessnock, you may well stand a better chance of getting on the Underground more quickly than at Ibrox. Buses also run along Paisley Road West which take you right into the City Centre every couple of minutes. Getting off at Bridge Street is about £1.20 Single and is a two minute walk over the River Clyde for the Centre of Glasgow’. Otherwise, if you are feeling particularly brave you can embark on the 40 minute walk back to the city centre.

Game AttendedRangers v West Ham United
CompetitionFriendly
Date19/07/2022

Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting the ground itself?

I love attending away games with the Hammers, but this particular game holds special significance for me as Rangers are a club I have a severe soft-spot for. It also felt it should have been the Europa League final, but sadly we blew it in the semi’s. Watching the Teddy Bears from afar, I’ve always wanted to visit Ibrox and doing so with West Ham made it extra special.

How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?

I live in the north-west and travelled to the game with a friend who still lives in London. Because of the chaos the heatwave was causing, my friend drove up the night before and then drove to Glasgow. We stayed overnight and it was an easy journey, with no delays.

What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly?

We went from Rangers pub to Rangers pub to Rangers pub, drinking, singing and mingling with the Rangers fans. It was great to be so welcome in some of Rangers most famous pubs, starting with the original Louden Tavern in Duke Street, the Bristol Bar a few minutes walk from there, and finally the Louden Tavern that’s a few minutes walk away from Ibrox. Everywhere we went, West Ham fans and Rangers fans were mingling. It was a first for me to be so welcome at an away game, and something I and probably the 1600 travelling fans appreciated.

What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the stadium?

Seeing it on the television doesn’t do it justice. Before we went in, we walked around the ground, seeing the flags, banners and the open show of patriotism was fantastic. There was a memorial to the man known as the ‘Goalie’, Andy Goram who had sadly passed away from Cancer by the main gates. The outside of the ground is magnificent, particularly the Bill Struth stand, with the famous players and executive entrance, the old brickwork and big Rangers FC banner. Inside was just as impressive, as It looks much bigger than the 50,000 it holds. All four stands were close to pitch, something I miss from our days at Upton Park.

Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..

The atmosphere was impressive for a friendly, with near 40,000 people in attendance, of which 1600 were West Ham. We sold out the allocation we were given, and the fact the way end was full given the circumstances was impressive. West Ham were in fine voice, as were the Rangers Union Bears who were sat nearby, I believe. There were even joint songs being sung by both sets of fans. As for the game, It was concerning from a West Ham perspective. Pre-season friendly or not, we seem to be easily overrun and Rangers dominated the game and scored three fantastic goals. Signings are desperately needed, and an injury to our new centre-half Aguerd is also a concern.

Comment on getting away from the ground after the game

A little more difficult getting away then getting to Ibrox. I can’t remember the name, but we walked to a subway that took us to the centre of Glasgow which was in walking distance of our hotel. Prior to that we had tried getting an Uber back, and waited for a driver for about 30 minutes before giving up.

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out

I can’t wait to go back.

Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting the Ibrox Stadium?
 
I have wanted to go to Ibrox for a game as I worked around the corner at Cessnock a few years ago. The football season was not on at the time and I have always wanted to visit both Rangers and Celtic. The tickets for the Legends game were only £15 and the train ticket was fairly cheap.
 
How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?
 
We got to Glasgow Central after much messing around between Liverpool and Wigan (thanks Northern Rail). I had dinner in a decent pub in the city centre then headed up to Ibrox about 1 pm from Buchanan Street on the Metro. The Metro is really good but I forgot how small it was and being over 6ft I had to mind my head a few times!
 
What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly?
 
There is a great pub on the other side of the street from the Metro exit called the Louden Tavern. The inside is very impressive and almost like a club museum with the amount of memorabilia on the walls with several shirts and the original poster from the Cup Winners Cup victory in the 1970s. The home fans were really friendly and the bar manager even got on the microphone welcoming Liverpool fans which I thought was a great touch. I am not sure what the atmosphere would be like on a "real" match day but I am glad I went in and was mesmerised by the number of pictures and memorabilia on the walls.
 
Inside The Louden Tavern
What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Ibrox Stadium?
 
Exiting the Louden Tavern you turn right and enter the stadium area. The three modern stands look okay from the outside, however, the Main Stand is truly magnificent from the outside and I specifically chose my tickets to be in this stand. I was glad to be able to sit in one of British Football's iconic stands.
 
The Magnificent Main Stand Facade
Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..
 
We got in the ground early to have a pint but there is no alcohol on sale inside the stadium so just bought soft drinks. As we entered the stadium one of the stewards asked us what time the game kicked off which was a bit baffling!. Another one we asked didn't know where our block was so we ended up finding it ourselves. The food and drink is located on an upper concourse, the views out of the large windows were good as we saw the ground filling up fast.
 
The Game Of Legends
Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:
 
It is almost impossible to get back onto the Metro after the game as the queue was massive. We decided to walk back into town, passing the Science Museum and the BBC buildings, also passing over the River Clyde. It was a part of Glasgow I hadn't really seen before. We were back at Central Station for our train within half an hour. Taxis and buses were not worth getting as they were stuck in large traffic jams. The attendance was only 35,000 so I'd imagine it to be a lot worse when it is a full house of 51,000.
 
Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:
 
It was a great day out and finally, I got to see a match at Ibrox. It was a decent game with Liverpool Legends winning 3-2 and weirdly watching Steven Gerrard play for both teams. All in all a good day out. Hopefully, I can go to an old firm game there one day.

Rangers v Oxford United
Pre-Season friendly 
Sunday 7th July 2019, 3pm

Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting Ibrox Stadium?  

When you support a League One club, it is not often that you get the chance to go to many big grounds, let alone one of the magnitude of Ibrox. Also, it was a chance to go on somewhat of a European away day. The motivation to go was also heightened when I found out that Oxford were bringing an impressive amount of fans to Glasgow.  

How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?  

I decided to fly up from Bristol on Saturday evening with my family. This was because the game was being played on a Sunday, so therefore we stayed overnight in Glasgow. Getting to the ground from the city centre is easy enough, it is simply a 10 minute journey on the Glasgow Subway. Trains run a more frequent service whenever Rangers play at home, as this is the method of travel which most fans use to get to Ibrox.  

What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly?  

Upon arriving at the ground via the Subway, we went to the Louden Tavern, which is opposite Ibrox Metro Station. This looks like the main pub for Rangers fans and there is no mistaking whose pub it is as it is completely decorated in Rangers memorabilia. Despite this, several Oxford fans were inside the pub and the beer garden and were made to feel very welcome by the Rangers fans. There were many conversations between the two sets of loyal supporters. We even got talking to a local who said that many away supporters are allowed inside the pub, apart from fans of Hibernian, Aberdeen and Celtic (I can't think why that would be?).

Welcome To Ibrox Stadium

What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Ibrox Stadium?  

Coming from the Louden, Ibrox is very impressive as there is a big “Welcome to Ibrox Stadium” sign which greets home and away fans alike. The exterior of the stands is generally quite basic, with the Main Stand making an exception, with the red brick design creating one of the most iconic sights in world football. Inside the ground, the rest of the stadium dominates the location where away fans are located in the corner between the Broomloan Stand and the Sandy Jardine Stand, in particular, the Main Stand. On the whole, Ibrox is very imposing and, when full, could be extremely intimidating for away sides, something that is really starting to lack in modern stadiums. Due to the attendance of 22,156, there were several parts of the stadium which were sparsely populated, however, Rangers fans did seem to gather on the Sandy Jardine lower and the Broomloan lower. Oxford fans had filled the corner stand, which equated to around 1000 fans that had made the 770 mile round trip.

View From the Away Section

Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..

On entering the ground, the stewards were very relaxed and didn’t mind that most Oxford fans decided to stand/sit wherever they wanted. Both teams started with a strong first 11, however, with Rangers having started pre-season earlier than Oxford, and with a much stronger squad anyway, Oxford were no match for them, and were 2-0 down at half time, with goals coming from Daniel Candeias and Greg Stewart.    Both teams made changes at half time, but this didn’t prevent Rangers from going 3-0 up, with a goal from young centre back Lewis Mayo. After this, Oxford seemed to bring on most of their youth team, which allowed Rangers to make it 5-0, with goals from Sheyi Ojo and Jermain Defoe. Throughout the game, Oxford fans attempted to make some atmosphere, however, the Rangers fans never really made an attempt to sing throughout the entire game although I can sympathise with this due to the famous “Union Bears” ultras not being in attendance. We can’t comment on the food, as we had already got it in the city centre beforehand. Due to being stood near the home fans in the Broomloan Stand, there was a lot of light-hearted banter between myself and a few locals. However, at the end of the game, they made a big thing of giving handshakes and wishing us luck for the new season; top class.  

Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:  

We decided to head back to the Louden after the game to have a pint, mainly due to the large queue which had formed for the Subway. By the time we had finished, the long queue had all but gone, so we were able to get back into Glasgow City Centre within 15 minutes. I can only assume that it would take longer to get away with a larger attendance.  

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:  

Overall, despite the result, we had a great time up in Glasgow. Ibrox Stadium is very impressive, and the Rangers fans were very friendly, which will give us lasting impressions of our trip up to Scotland. Although it was only a friendly and they were always going to win, Rangers fans were by far the classiest set of supporters I have ever come across on my many visits to away grounds. They were very welcoming, talkative and interested to find out about our club. I’ve never felt as wanted by opposition supporters. Despite ageing in some aspects, Ibrox is an unbelievable stadium which is instantly recognisable anywhere in the world. We will definitely travel up again, should we get the opportunity.

Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting Ibrox Stadium?
 
As a sports-loving child growing up in the United States in the 1980s and 90s, soccer wasn't really on the map for me (except the 1994 World Cup). One thing I did know about was Rangers and Celtic and I've always been fascinated by the Scottish football experience. My trip across the pond to see two Everton games allowed me the opportunity to visit Glasgow and see what it was all about.
 
How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?
 
My wife had visited Glasgow about 20 years ago and the only thing she could remember about it was an Indian restaurant in Hillhead. I promised her I would dine there before the game. Thus, though I was staying in the city centre, I took the subway for four stops from Hillhead to Ibrox. Upon exiting the station I only had to follow the crowds and the corner of the stadium was shining brightly for all to see.
 
What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly?
 
I was intending to pop into the Louden for a pint but I needed to claim my ticket and I also wanted to buy a scarf, and I hadn't arrived as early as I originally intended, so there was no time for the pint. There was no visible signage directing me to ticket collection point so I asked a steward outside and was pointed in the right direction. I had already bought a programme from the first seller that I encountered. I then went into the club shop to buy a scarf but to my surprise there were none for sale! This development sent me toward the Main Stand where I saw two souvenir stands. My scarf eventually procured, I took a few photos of the exterior and tried to make my way end. I say tried because I wasn't initially successful: I had bought my ticket from the Rangers website and the seat I selected was in the second row of the Sandy Jardine Stand, which allowed access to the new Bar '72 area. However, there was no mention of this on the ticket, and no barcode either. Thus, when I went to the turnstile indicated, I was told to go around the corner and find a man with a scanner. This person wasn't immediately visible and as I wandered around looking like an idiot a Rangers fan even offered to help me find my way (his intervention was unsuccessful). I eventually found the correct entrance and had a pint in the bar, but either stadium signage needs to be improved or the ticket needs to indicate where you actually need to go in. (I got the impression that these rows are almost exclusively for season ticket holders, so perhaps this isn't much of a problem in general as they all know where they're going).
 
What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Ibrox Stadium?
 
The stadium was quite a sight all lit up in the Glasgow night sky. The front of the Main Stand was impressive even in the dark. It was evident that Ibrox has been there for a while as it seemed to ooze history just from looking at it.
 
Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..
 
Dundee were second bottom coming into the game and looked it as Rangers scored twice in the first ten minutes and added a third in the 23rd minute to effectively make the remaining 50+ minutes academic. Dundee offered next to nothing going forward and though Rangers took their foot off the gas in the second half they never looked troubled and added a fourth late on to prevail 4-0. Dundee blew their one good scoring chance which pleased me as I had a bet on Rangers to win with a clean sheet! Before the game, I had a pint in the aforementioned Bar '72, though I can't remember what beer I had. I didn't sample any of the food on offer. I must say that the seating itself was extremely cramped; I'm 6'4" and there was no leg room whatsoever, plus it seemed like the people on either side were right on top of me. The view from the second row was excellent, however, and more than made up for the discomfort. Rangers fans were loud at times and Ibrox would be an intimidating place to play for an opponent if everyone was up for it.
 
Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:
 
This was the only low point of the night. A crowd of 50,000 is always difficult to disperse. Leaving Ibrox was not the problem, it was getting back to my hotel. I know from experience not to plan on getting on a subway train at the closest station to a stadium after a game, so my plan was to follow this guide and walk to the next closest one. Alas, I didn't realize that it wasn't on the main road I was walking down along with everyone else but instead required a slight deviation, and for this reason, I wasn't consulting Google Maps for the correct turn. Thus, I went past the station without ever seeing it and ended up walking the two or so miles back to the city center. It wasn't really that bad of a walk, and traffic was terrible so it wasn't as though Uber or a taxi were better options, but I felt somewhat foolish for my lack of planning.
 
Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:
 
I rather enjoyed my visit. I love old stadiums (stadia?), even if they're partially rebuilt, and the history of Rangers permeates Ibrox. Fans were good and the view was excellent. Scottish football may not be what it used to but it was a tremendous experience all around.

Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting the Ibrox Stadium?
 
I was looking forward to this match because Rangers are a team which I've always admired from a young age because of the culture of the club plus legends of the club such as Gazza, McCoist etc. I've watched many Rangers matches on TV but now I felt it was the right time to visit Ibrox stadium and experience the atmosphere been amongst the fans.
 
How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?
 
It took about four hours to travel to the Ibrox stadium stayed at a local hotel the night before the match and soaked in Glasgow. Finding the ground wasn't too hard as it was near the hotel plus clearly signed posted.
 
What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly?
 
Before the match, I soaked in some of the local bars which had a great mixture of Rangers fans. I got talking to a few fans about Glasgow, Rangers, and general topics and left to go to the match with a lot more knowledge. I find that when talking about Rangers fans they are very underrated because I've never met any football fans that are very friendly towards both neutral and the away section of crowds.
 
What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Ibrox Stadium?
 
Ibrox is magnificent and one of the best stadiums in football from the moment you come close to the moment the goals go in you can feel the atmosphere surrounding the club.

By the time I had arrived at Glasgow it was 1:30pm or thereabouts so I went to the club shop and looked around the historic stadium.

My friend Neil (famous for not ever wearing a hat in cold weather) have wanted to visit Ibrox for a while so thought we'd have a quick weekend away.

Very easy we stayed in a hotel not far from Ibrox.

Several pubs down the Paisley Road – The Quayside, Union, Grapes. All friendly enough.

What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Ibrox Stadium?

The Leitch designed Main Stand of Ibrox is very impressive, the remainder of the outside of the ground is a bit too 80's orange brick for my liking. The Leitch stand is impressive inside too, and the enclosed ground is impressive overall.

Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..

An almost full house saw Rangers beat Partick 2-0, in a quite poor standard of football. The atmosphere was quite good.

Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:

Getting away easy enough back to the hotel, but busy for buses and the subway. We popped into the Govan Social Club on the way back for a few pints and some much needed Smokey Bacon crisps!

A good day out if you like a few beers before the match in friendly, but partisan pubs.
