Rangers have been warned the Ibrox stands work WON’T be completed early as fans demand answers over the real reasons behind delays.

The club are closing in on a deal to play their opening few “home” games at Hampden Park amid a wait for their own stadium to be ready. Shipment issues triggered a hold up which will not be ready in time for the start of the new season. An extended period away from Ibrox could work against Gers and Superscoreboard pundit and former Celtic defender Mark Wilson reckons there are further problems as he questioned who on the club board is to blame.

And he believes there’s little chance of the chaos ending any time soon as he predicted it to rumble on longer and leave Philippe Clement and co. in a difficult spot
“Like anybody who has got building work done on their house or has got a job done on their house – it is never guaranteed, and it usually just runs on and runs on,” he said. “Jobs very rarely go to plan and it’s not going to be completed early – you wouldn’t think anyway. That is a real problem for the Rangers fans.
“Things like the hospitality packages, the people that work in hospitality – all those small things and that level of employment at ibrox? How does that get shifted to Hampden?
“It’s a real mess. If any Rangers fans are like me they will ask where does the blame lie for this? It must fall on somebody’s lap. They must have known this was a possibility months and months ago and they have chosen the wrong window to try and address this. This seems like it is going to run and run for a lengthy period.

“Once you have got it confirmed they should be looking to communicate with their own fan base about where they are situated and seated – because that is a big thing. People buy season tickets to be in social groups or sit in blocks with their pals, is that going to be the case. I’m sure the people who put their hand in their pocket will want to know that.

“The players who are in the squad have got plenty of practice playing at Hampden – it’s just different. My experience of playing Hampden, I never quite enjoyed it; how far away the fans were from the pitch. I enjoyed playing at tighter grounds, but the Rangers players will just have to adapt.
