A wee bit about the venue

Ibrox Stadium, protected as a historic building, is the home of Glasgow Rangers football club. Opened in 1899 as Ibrox Park, it experienced a fatal terrace collapse in 1902, leading to new terraces and a main stand added in 1928. Following the 1971 disaster that claimed 66 lives, the ground was largely rebuilt, and after renovations in 1997, it was renamed Ibrox Stadium.

The Main Stand features a unique wooden-panelled corridor and a marble staircase leading to the Boardroom, The Blue Room, the trophy room, and changing facilities. From there, a tunnel connects to the players’ dugout and pitch.

In January 2023, 170 seats were added in the Sandy Jardine Rear Stand, replacing hospitality boxes to create the Blue Sky Lounge, increasing capacity to 50,987.

Beyond football, Ibrox has hosted athletics, the Empire Games, concerts, boxing, charity events, and offers stadium and museum tours, as well as hosting important ceremonies.

The 1971 Tragedy Memorial

For 66 lives to be lost while attempting to leave a football stadium seems too unfair to be true. The reality of the Ibrox disaster of 1971 is a day that shocked a nation and and ripped dozens of families apart.

All they did was attend the traditional New Year Old Firm derby. The crush which ensued on stairway 13 after full time proved to be devastating.

The Memorial is of note as upon making their way to the lounge, Pauline and AJ will stop to reflect and lay flowers here.

It MUST be REMEMBERED ALWAYS especially after recent old firm circumstances however it does have a funny story...

Picture the scene, 1971, no phones, you took your chances on the ferry and made it to Ibrox. This day news trickled back to the public about the stadium collapse and tragedy that unfolded. 

Two young brothers were saved by leaving early and did not try to run back when the goal was scored causing the stampede, they were David and James Murray. That's right our Brummer got away unharmed that day and whilst his maw and da were out their mind with worry, waiting to hear news or see the boys, the boys had other thoughts and went straight to the pub instead of informing anyone that they were safe...

I believe this led to quite a beating from Granny Nancy involving a frying pan in the local boozer when she tracked down her unthinking sons!!
