Notes

Ibrox Stadium, originally Ibrox Park, is the stadium of Rangers F.C. It is located on the south side of the River Clyde, on Edmiston Drive in the Ibrox district of Glasgow, Scotland.

As one of the oldest and largest stadia in United Kingdom, the site of two major disasters and as one of the first wave of predominantly all-seater football grounds in Britain, Ibrox has been identified as a stadium of historical significance. Its architectural importance was recognised in 1987 with the designation of its South Stand, now named the Bill Struth Main Stand, as a Category B listed building.

Ibrox comprises four stands, all designed using the ‘goalpost’ structure, in which a large portal frame supports perpendicular beams on which roof cladding is secured. The Copland stand, at the east end of the stadium, was completed in 1979 and originally accommodated 7,500 spectators (later increased to around 8,000). It is traditionally the ‘Rangers end’ of the ground, and the team normally chooses to shoot towards that end in the second half of matches. An identical stand – the Broomloan – was completed in 1980 at the western end of the ground.
