Getting to the Ground
The full address of Ibrox for sat-nav is as follows: Ibrox Stadium, 150 Edmiston Drive, Glasgow, G51 2XD
Ibrox is located slightly south-west of Glasgow’s city centre on the south bank of the river Clyde at about 2.5 miles from the central rail station and city centre.
The stadium stands close to the M8 motorway. Exit either at junction 23 or 24, and turn north. After a few hundred metres turn right at the roundabout. The stadium is on your left hand side.

Rangers Season So Far
Rangers’ season started back in June in the Europa League qualifiers and they successfully negotiated through to the group stages by dispatching FK Shkupi of Macedonia, Osijek of Croatia, NK Maribor of Slovenia and Russian side FC UFA.
Steven Gerrard’s first Premiership match in charge was a tough trip up to Pittodrie and despite losing Alfredo Morelos to a red card after just 12 minutes were only denied victory when The Dons equalised in injury time.
After defeating St Mirren 2-0 in their first Premiership home game Rangers knocked Kilmarnock out the Betfred Cup with a 3-1 win at Rugby Park but were again denied all three points in injury time in the next game at Fir Park when Motherwell made in 3-3 with seconds to go.
In the first Old Firm game of the season Gerrard lost his unbeaten record when an Oliver Ntcham goal was enough to give the hosts victory at Celtic Park.
