I read an article online a couple of days ago regarding supporters' expectations of the plan to redevelop and upgrade Ibrox and the surrounding area. Since this is our home, it is surely not asking much, as Rangers supporters, that our ambitions are met by any plans put in place?

Cast your mind back to the '90s for a moment. When modern Ibrox was finished with the completion of the Club Deck, the Govan East and West Corners and the giant screens, it was the finest ground in the country, bar none. It fused tradition and history with state of the art and showed the rest of the country that only the best was good enough for Rangers.   

Although I’m not a fan of many of the new stadiums being thrown together across Europe, the modern facilities on offer do put the three newer Ibrox stands to shame. What’s more, our stadium is long overdue a spring clean and lick of paint.

In saying that, I firmly believe that the Bill Struth Main Stand is unique in football. If there is a stand anywhere that can match the imposing red brick front of Ibrox, then I have yet to see it. And the inside doesn’t disappoint. Chairman Jimmy Bowie said on completion of the main stand in 1929; “This is our magnificent new main stand. It holds 10,000 and we could fill it ten times over with young boys who want to play for the Rangers”.  

That brings us to the other aspect of Ibrox that we cannot escape from and one that is now holding us back - the capacity limit of 50,000. With clubs all over the UK and abroad building grounds that exceed this, we are being eclipsed in terms of stature but also, more importantly, left behind in terms of finance. Indeed, Ibrox is the third biggest ground in Glasgow and the fourth biggest in Scotland. That isn’t something that sits well with me.

So what are my hopes for Sir David Murray’s plans for regeneration of Ibrox and the surrounding area? Simple - SHOW SOME AMBITION!
