That favourite old chestnut of stadium expansion is being discussed again at Ibrox.
When the capacity of Celtic Park was lifted to 60,000 in 1998 followed by the 52,000 seats at Hampden a year later it left Ibrox with the third biggest capacity in the city.
Over the last 20 years there has been regular moonbeams about raising the capacity from the £300m Super Stadium in 2008 complete with Six Star Hotel, Super Casino and Hover Pitch through to taking away the screens in the corner to add a few hundred more seats.
Nothing ever comes of these plans with the stadium needing serious maintenance work after years of cost cutting trying to keep up with Celtic.
Vice-Chairman John Bennett was spinning the story on a fan podcast, picking up on a report from the on-message Press Association, Sky Sports reports:
Asked if there were plans to increase the capacity of the ground, Bennett told the Louden Tavern podcast: “Yes there are. The most immediate one is something around Argyle House which will involve extra seating.
“There are longer-term plans that might be able to add more seating but I’m going to describe that as ‘mid-term’ as we want to do Edmiston House, we want to get that museum up and running.
“I’m a real backer of the museum, I do think this is a real legacy moment for the club. We’re making this bridge from a recovery phase to a growth phase.
“When you see us putting in some new, premium seating and ally that with Edmiston House, the museum, I think you can see then that this club is putting the dark years behind us.
“It won’t be in one year’s time but I don’t think it’s as far away as five years’ time that you will see a bit more stadium expansion happening.”
