Rangers chiefs are set to consider a possible huge stadium expansion which could see the Ibrox capacity increased to 70,000.
However, despite tentative discussions over the possible building work, it's understood a massive expansion is a long way off and remains simply an avenue of exploration at this stage.
Ambitious possible expansion plans could see between 8,000 and 10,000 seats added to the capacity of the Copland and Brooloan stands at Ibrox.
The possibility of adding 700 seats to the corners of the stadium between the Sandy Jardine Stand and Copland and Broomloan Stands has also been tentatively discussed.
Ibrox chiefs have also carried out an investigation into the possibility of adding half a dozen rows of seats around the pitch if the playing surface is lowered.
Although, again, it’s understood plans are at a very early stage with feasibility studies still being conducted.
The plans were first vocalised in a Fan Forum event at New Edmistion House but it's understood chief executive James Bisgrove was merely outlining potential options.
As it stands there have been no guarantees made over the stadium expansion. Instead, Ibrox chiefs are merely considering options that have been suggested with significant work required to discover if the ambitious expansion options would be possible.
Rangers have already signed off on building work to install a new cantilever structure and two platforms behind both goals at the stadium as part of an investment in top-quality disabled facilities.
It's understood work could begin next summer with a multi-million-pound investment into the stadium upgrade.
Meanwhile, a statute at Ibrox of legendary manager Walter Smith is expected to be unveiled in the New Year.
The club will carry out work on the footprint of Ibrox with tarmac access roads and stadium steelwork to be completed alongside the installation of the statue.
It's expected fans will be given the opportunity to pay their respects to late former manager Smith - who died in October 2021 - when the statue is unveiled next year
