Rangers confirm off-season stadium plans


2nd June 2026

Rangers have laid out their stadium preparations ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The Ibrox playing surface is undergoing renovations to ensure it remains in pristine condition for the upcoming season.

The currently installed balustrades in the Copland Rear stand will be replaced by a glass design, enhancing the view of the pitch for supporters situated in that area.

Internal high level structure works will also be carried out in the Bill Struth Main Stand, consisting of the replacement of timbers and fixing covers, as well as the replacement of panels on the building façade.

The club are very busy on building compliance, working in conjunction with an electrical contractor to carry out inspection and testing of the listed Bill Struth Main Stand. These works began last September and are scheduled to be completed over the summer.

Inside the stadium, the Members Lounge is also set for refurbishment, with new booth seating set to be installed alongside LED lighting, new flooring and further decorative work.

Across the corridor, the club’s in-house facilities team are undertaking a revamp of the trophy room, in part funded by Club 1872, including the installation of new lighting and extensive decoration. Much of this work has already been completed and visitors to the stadium will notice the fresh look in this iconic area of our home.

Also as part of the Club 1872 heritage fund investment, the corridor between the Trophy Room and Members Lounge will also be enhanced with fresh photography, while French polishing will also be added to the wooden panelling inside the Main Stand rooms.

The stadium footprint will also undergo some changes as part of the project, with the John Greig Ibrox Disaster Memorial statue set to be rewaxed and restored through several touch ups.

In addition, the statue of the legendary Walter Smith will also be fitted with lighting, pending approval from Glasgow City Council, while painting restoration works inside the Blue Room are being discussed with artist Senga Murray.

A team of painters will also be in operation between Ibrox, Edmiston House, the Rangers Training Centre and the Ibrox Community Complex, freshening up several areas in preparation for the season ahead.
