Ambitious Ibrox plan was never realistic

It was shortly after Glasgow secured the 2014 Commonwealth Games and plans were launched to redevelop the area around Celtic Park that city rivals Rangers revealed their own Ibrox masterplan.

As part of Sir David Murray’s vision, Ibrox Stadium would have its capacity increased to 70,000 and a concert arena would be built along with a hotel, shops and an underground car park. The value attached to the scheme was £350 million.
