Memories of Ibrox

Ibrox Stadium

One of my earliest memories of visiting Ibrox Park was in February 1988 when Rangers hosted St Mirren in a Premier League match. I watched on with my Dad and brother from the old enclosure as Davie Cooper, Mark Walters, Ray Wilkins and Richard Gough all scored in a 4 – 0 victory. A few months later I was very fortunate to be shown round the magnificent Main Stand by club legends Willie Thornton MM and John Greig MBE.

The Main Stand – 1929

Designed by Archibald Leitch, the Main Stand (now the Bill Struth Stand) was officially opened in 1929, and in 1987 achieved listed building status. It is a truly unique feat of architectural design; and in 1991 a third tier of seating above the original edifice – The Club Deck – became fully operational. By the turn of the century, the home of Rangers Football Club would become known as Ibrox Stadium and it now boasts a capacity of 50,817.

Gazza arrives – the main doorway on Edmiston Drive

The magic of Davie Cooper; Super Ally’s goals; Ray Wilkins’ thunderbolt against Celtic; Gazza’s famous hat-trick; the thrill of big European evenings… We all have special memories of Ibrox – what’s yours?
