Rangers are reportedly considering plans to increase the capacity at Ibrox.
The club are discussing the possibility of upgrading to accommodate an extra 5,000 supporters and boost their capacity to around 55,000 fans.
The Daily Record are reporting that there would not be too much work needing done at the stadium to house the extra bodies, instead just extending areas which are already in place.
It comes as the Light Blues hit 47,000 season tickets sold and another 15,000 reportedly registering an interest in signing up.

Managing director, Stewart Robertson, said: "It’s something we’re looking at just now. We won’t see anything as grand as another tier built on top of one of the existing stands.
“However, we are exploring ways we can add additional seating into the stadium. I don’t see it being another 10,000, it would maybe be low thousands.
“We’re working with a couple of consultancy firms to see what might be possible and to work out the financials on it."
