Ibrox Stadium
Ibrox Stadium is located on the south side of the River Clyde in the Ibrox area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is the home of Rangers FC. Ibrox is the third largest football stadium in Scotland. Opened as Ibrox Park in 1899, it suffered a disaster in 1902 when a wooden terrace collapsed. Vast earthen terraces were built in its place, and a main stand, now a listed building, in 1928. A British record crowd of 118,567 gathered in January 1939 for a league match with Celtic. After the Ibrox disaster of 1971, the stadium was largely rebuilt. The vast bowl-shaped terracing was removed and replaced by three rectangular, all-seated stands by 1981. Ibrox got further improved and expanded between 1990 and 1997 by a series of smaller extensions and the refurbishment of the main stand. The works were capped with the installation of two Jumbotron screens in the two remaining empty corners. After these renovations the ground was renamed Ibrox Stadium.
