Had a great day out with my dad at ibrox, the two us had a great time.
It was really interesting to hear about the history of the stadium and to walk up the marble staircase and later walking down the tunnel was a boyhood dream come true.
The staff on site were really friendly and very knowledgeable as you'd expect.
It was great to find out about all silverware and pennants in the trophy room
It a great trip to do if you're a rangers or football fan.

52,000 Capacity ground. Had to pay way over the odds to finally get to see an Old Firm Derby. One of the games where getting a ticket by the usual means is an impossibility as they're all snapped up by season ticket holders. And there's a two year waiting list to join even that. Passionate, and plenty of drama, but none of the toxic atmosphere I was expecting. Love it when even the stewards I was near was joining in the singing.

Awesome tour! The trophy room 🥰 I've been to many games and a Rangers charity dinner, but this was the first time I have been on the proper tour. Love all the traditional parts of Ibrox, hope they never change it, including the dressing room. And of course you've got to love meeting Broxi Bear 🐻 Highly recommend.

History (from Wikipedia)
The Ibrox pitch is surrounded by four covered all-seater stands, officially known as the Bill Struth Main (south), Broomloan Road (west), Sandy Jardine (north) and Copland Road (east) Stands.[43] Each stand has two tiers, with the exception of the Bill Struth Main Stand, which has had three tiers since the Club Deck was added in 1991.[3][43] The two corner areas, known as the West and East areas of the Sandy Jardine Stand, have one tier of seating below a JumboTron screen.[3][43]
The Bill Struth Main Stand, formerly known as the Main Stand, faces onto Edmiston Drive (A8 road).[28] The red-brick facade, designed by Archibald Leitch, is a Category B listed building. Simon Inglis, writing in 1996, described it as an "imposing red-brick facade, with its mock neo-classical arched, square and pedimented windows, exudes prestige and power."[28] On each end wall the club crest is depicted in a blue and gold mosaic.[28] Stairtowers leading to the Club Deck (third tier) stand at each end of the Main Stand.[28] These towers are also framed in red-brick, but deliberately contrast with the main body of the stand.[28] The two stairtowers also support a 146-metre (479 ft) long and 540-tonne (530-long-ton; 600-short-ton) truss, claimed to be the longest and heaviest clear span girder in the world.[19]
Through the main doors of the Main Stand is a wood-panelled hallway.[44] A marble staircase leads to the boardroom and trophy room.[44] Inglis compared Ibrox to Highbury, in that it combined corporate power with a sense of tradition and solidity.[44] It was originally constructed as a 10,000-seat stand above a standing enclosure. It was redeveloped in the early 1990s with the addition of the Club Deck and seating in the enclosure. It is now a three-tier all-seated structure, accommodating approximately 21,000 spectators. The front wall of the middle tier is one of the last surviving examples of the Leitch style of criss-cross detailing.[44] The middle tier is split into front and rear sections, while the enclosure is split into east and west sections, either side of the retractable tunnel cover.[43][44]
Opposite the Bill Struth Main Stand is the Sandy Jardine Stand formerly known as the Govan Stand.[43] It is a two-tier stand, similar in style to the two end stands, which was completed in 1981.[19] To the rear of the Govan Stand is the Argyle House extension, completed in 1990, which provides executive boxes, hospitality areas and office space.[22] The Bar 72 area was added to the rear section of the Govan Stand in 2006. The Copland Road Stand, at the east end of the stadium, was completed in 1979 and now accommodates just over 8,000 fans.[44] It is traditionally the 'Rangers end' of the ground and the team normally chooses to attack that end in the second half of matches. The western Broomloan Road Stand, which was completed in 1980, is identical to the opposite end.[44] Although constructed as separate structures, the three stands have been linked since the mid-1990s, when two additional areas of seating were added to the corner areas.[44] All of the stands are designed using the 'goalpost' structure, in which a large portal frame supports perpendicular beams on which roof cladding is secured.[45] The Rangers Store is located in the corner between the Copland Road and Govan Stands.
Away fans are normally accommodated in the corner of the ground between the Broomloan and Govan Stands.[46] Ibrox is seen as being an intimidating ground for visiting supporters.[46] Rangers banned Celtic fans in 1994 from attending games at Ibrox, citing the damage caused to the Broomloan Stand by the visitors in previous derbies.[47][48][49] The ban was lifted after one game, as the Scottish Football League passed a resolution preventing clubs from taking that action.[48] Before the corners were filled in, away fans were accommodated in the lower tier of the Broomloan Stand.[50] Rangers had to take action in 1996 to prevent their fans in the upper deck from throwing items at visitors.[50] Celtic fans were normally given the whole of the Broomloan Stand for Old Firm derbies until 2018, when Rangers opted to restrict their allocation to the much smaller corner section.[51]
