Glasgow's Leading Attractions

Rangers Football Club is steeped in tradition, has a rich and proud history and is a name that conjures up magical memories in the minds of thousands of supporters around the globe.

The Light Blues are also one of the most successful club sides in world football - with a record-breaking 54 League Championships, 33 Scottish Cup Final wins, 27 League Cup Final victories and one European Cup Winners’ Cup Final triumph to date.

It all began in 1872 when William McBeath, Peter Campbell and brothers Moses and Peter McNeil started an amateur football team and named it Rangers after an English rugby league side. That small team, which played on the banks of the Clyde at Fleshers Haugh, grew into the Scottish institution that Rangers is today.

Since those humble beginnings, the Club has earned a worldwide reputation and lifted many honours and accolades, including winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972 in Barcelona, defeating Moscow Dynamo 3-2, and becoming the first club in the world to win 100 major trophies - in season 2001/02.

Many outstanding players have worn the light blue of Rangers over the last century, from legends such as Jim Baxter, John Greig and Davie Cooper, to modern-day heroes like Brian Laudrup, Paul Gascoigne and Ally McCoist.

Sadly, there has also been tragedy in the Club’s history, most notably the Ibrox disasters of 1902, 1961 and 1971. Twenty five people were killed in 1902 when a section of the West terracing collapsed and a further two supporters were killed in 1961 on Stairway 13. Tragedy struck on this same stairway in 1971 when 66 people lost their lives following the traditional New Year Old Firm derby match. A statue of John Greig at the Stadium’s East Tower on Edmiston Drive commemorates all those who lost their lives at Ibrox.

The current Stadium is the result of continuing improvement and redevelopment by successive visionaries at the Club. In particular, William Waddell worked tirelessly in the aftermath of the 1971 Ibrox disaster to ensure the Stadium was one of the safest in Europe.

Today Ibrox Stadium has an all-seated capacity of 51,082 and is one of only five stadiums in the UK that has been awarded a UEFA Elite status. The listed red brick building is famous for combining grandeur and tradition with the last word in state-of-the-art sports facilities.
