Ibrox Stadium was mostly re-developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with three new stands being constructed. Only the Main Stand (originally built in 1929) at one side of the pitch remains of the old Ibrox. This stand has also been refurbished, and in 1994, a third tier was added to it. The impressive red brick facade of this stand was left intact (it is a listed building), which means that the ground has a great blend of modern facilities whilst still retaining its historic character.
The stand was renamed the Bill Struth Main Stand in 2006 after one of the club’s most successful managers. The three relatively new stands are all good-sized two-tiered stands. On either side of the Govan Stand, the corners have been filled, with seating in the lower tier and large video screens in the upper tier. Even though the Main Stand is larger than the other stands, the ground looks well balanced as the roof of this stand comes down to the same height as the others.
The corners to either side of this stand are partly open and filled with stairwells. At either end of the ground, there are also a couple of small electric scoreboards. Outside the stadium, there is a statue of former player, manager, and director John Ibrox Stadium was mostly re-developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with three new stands being constructed.
