Rangers have confirmed work to the Copland Road stand is now complete, meaning they will have a full capacity at Ibrox for Sunday's Scottish Premiership clash with Hibs.
Delays to the work had forced the club to relocate to Hampden for their opening 'home games' this season, with Philippe Clement's side finally returning to Ibrox last weekend for their 3-0 League Cup quarter-final win over Dundee.
The club confirmed the news in a statement this afternoon which read: "Rangers are pleased to confirm the reopening of the Copland Rear, and therefore the full capacity of Ibrox Stadium for Sunday’s Scottish Premiership match with Hibernian.
"The club cannot thank our loyal supporters enough for their patience in these last number of weeks as works in the Copland Stand to provide top-class facilities for our disabled supporters, as well as an increase in overall capacity, have been ongoing.
"The reopening this weekend coincides with Rangers beginning to mark 125 years at our iconic home, with everyone at the club looking forward to a fantastic match on Sunday lunchtime."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
