Rangers reveal £6m Ibrox upgrade masterplan but AGM vote puts overhaul on a knife edge

Rangers have unveiled a £6million plan to drastically upgrade disabled facilities and increase the overall capacity at Ibrox.

But boardroom chiefs fear fan group Club 1872’s decision to vote against a motion that allows the Light Blues directors to issue new shares could scupper their ambitious project. The Gers hierarchy pledged at last year’s AGM to improve provisions for wheelchair-bound supporters following years of complaints about poor vantage points and the exposure to the elements disabled fans are forced to endure on matchdays

Now they look set to follow through on that promise after returning to the SEC Armadillo for this year’s shareholder summit with a slick video presentation laying out their blueprints. The project would see a total of 162 new wheelchair accessible positions - as well as new toilets and lowered concession counters - fitted round the Broomloan, Sandy Jardine and Copland Road stands.
