Rangers and BBC dispute is OVER as broadcaster granted Ibrox return after long running absence

The BBC and Rangers have resolved their long-running dispute - with the Ibrox club announcing the broadcaster will be allowed back into the stadium from 2022/23.

The two parties had long been at odds with Rangers vocal over some of the BBC 's coverage of the club. It's led to the national broadcaster being banned from reporting directly from Ibrox in recent seasons with no pre or post-match interviews with players or managers during home games available on BBC platforms.

An incident in February 2020 saw pundit Michael Stewart label Rangers' then-head of communications Jim Traynor a "bully" live on Sportsound - something he later issued a full apology for. Both club and broadcaster have now issued statements saying the dispute has now been put to one side, with the BBC acknowledging some of their coverage did not meet editorial standards.
