Ibrox Stadium

Ibrox Stadium in Govan has been the home of Rangers Football Club since 1899. Its redbrick main stand, designed by Archibald Leitch and opened in 1928, is a protected building, and guided stadium tours take visitors through the marble staircase, the dressing rooms and the Trophy Room.

A stadium with history

Ibrox opened as Ibrox Park in 1899 and is now an all-seater with capacity for around 51,000. The main stand is the one to look at from outside: Archibald Leitch's listed redbrick frontage of 1928 is one of the most recognisable pieces of football architecture in Britain, while the other three stands are more modern.

The stadium tour

Guided tours run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with weekend tours only on non-matchdays. The route takes in the marble staircase, the home and away dressing rooms, the Trophy Room, the Blue Room, the old Manager's Room, the tunnel, the dugout and the press room, with a pitch-side photo stop. Book through the Rangers website.

Planning your visit

On matchdays the area is busy and tours do not run at weekends, so pick a non-match day if the tour is your aim. Make a day of the south side of the river by adding the Glasgow Science Centre, or cross to the Riverside Museum for the city's transport and shipbuilding story. Allow time to walk around the outside of the ground too; the main stand frontage on Edmiston Drive is best appreciated from the street.
