Rangers end BBC dispute as broadcaster set for Ibrox return after 'genuine' concerns addressed

BBC Scotland have confirmed their long-standing dispute with Rangers is over ahead of the new Premiership season.

The dispute started when BBC refused to send staff to Ibrox after a team member had their credentials withdrawn by Rangers. Since then, nobody from the public broadcasting service has covered Rangers from within Ibrox and coverage of home matches in Govan has been done remotely. Coverage from inside the ground will now recommence ahead of the league season starting on July 30th.

A statement from BBC Scotland reads: "A disagreement between BBC Scotland and Rangers FC has limited the BBC's ability to report from Ibrox Stadium over a long period of time. The BBC and Rangers FC have now agreed that it is in the best interests of the BBC's audiences and Rangers supporters everywhere for the BBC and the club to resolve the dispute and to provide the fullest possible coverage of all Rangers' matches.
