Ibrox progress laid bare as early Rangers return next month possible

New images have laid bare the progress being made at Ibrox amid hopes of an early return for Rangers to their home stadium.

Philippe Clement's side have played home matches at Hampden this season due to delayed construction works at their Govan ground.

However, new images from inside the stadium show progress is being made on the works with the pitch now completely cleared of materials.

The photos - shared by Four Lads Had A Dream - also show construction workers on duty in the Copland Stand.

It's claimed the pitch will require three weeks to be fixed and ready for use by the Rangers first team.

Clement confirmed on Friday there is a chance that this weekend's contest against Ross County may be the final league match at Hampden before a return to Ibrox.

Rangers don't play again at home in the league until September 28 against Hibs but they are scheduled to host Dundee in the Premier Sports Cup on Saturday, September 21.

A venue for the match has not yet been confirmed prompting hopes of a return to Ibrox for the fixture.

"Nothing can be confirmed until it's sure, but people are working really hard to make it as fast as possible. So there is a possibility in that way, but not certainty," said Clement of a possible early return to Ibrox.

"Yeah, it's what I said during the week, so maybe people don't believe me, but everybody's been working really hard for that to make it as fast as possible. And like I said, you don't have everything in your own hands, or a lot of things not in a case like that. But all the club has been pushing to make this transformation period as short as possible, that we could go back to Ibrox as fast as possible, and they're still doing."
