Rangers have launched a supporter survey to gauge opinions over potential expansions at Ibrox.

Additionally, fans will be given a say on the building of further stadium improvements, including new hospitality lounges and a new safe standing area, as well as the overall matchday experience at their home ground.

The Rangers Review understands that the club's hierarchy has an open mind on any potential improvements to the stadium, and that they will be guided by the fanbase's overall feeling before progressing with any plans.

The survey will look to target various members of the support, in order to gauge where the club need to improve going forward regarding the matchday experience.

Elsewhere, Rangers have appointed Stig Inge Bjørnebye to help with January signings.

The ex-Liverpool player joins as a "football consultant and advisor" on an initial six-month interim basis.

The 56-year-old, who has played over 300 matches for clubs such as Liverpool, Blackburn, and Rosenborg, will start his role at Ibrox this week.

The club says Bjørnebye will target the January transfer window and will not change the football department's decision-making.

He is seen as a valuable aid in helping the transition after the exit of sporting director Kevin Thelwell last month.

Bjørnebye has sporting director experience from his previous roles at Rosenborg and Denmark's Aarhus.

He will work closely with the club's technical director Dan Purdy, head of recruitment Robbie Thelwell, and head scout Nathan Fisher.

The Rangers Review understands that the recruitment team will provide a plan to be executed for the upcoming window, with head coach Danny Rohl actively involved in the process.

However, final transfer decisions and sign-offs will rest with Cavenagh and Marathe.
