The Daily Record is drooling over a tweet from a Czech journalist who appears to have overdone the hospitality on offer in Glasgow.
Ibrox Stadium is apparently ‘just class, a football classic, lovely’.
It is the sort of yarn that the Record specialises in relaying to their Army of Readers with daily print sales likely to be able to fit inside Ibrox by the end of this season.
Other than sticking the Club Deck on top of the listed Main Stand Ibrox is virtually unchanged since the early eighties when the Rangers Pools funded three shiny new stands that barely saw a bear’s backside other than for matches against Celtic before the Souness Revolution appeared.
A complete lack of maintenance during the decade before Rangers went into liquidation has left the new club with spiralling costs just to stand still.
Undeterred the Record has now flipped things around to the historic appeal of Ibrox while all around Europe matches are being staged in stadiums with far superior facilities.

It’s one of the famous old stadia in Europe and Blesk writer Jiri Fejgl has been taking it all in. He wrote about captain Ladislav Krejci, who is missing the trip through injury, and said the skipper is missing out on a “football classic, the lovely Ibrox Stadium.” And he went on: “It’s actually an island classic, entering the arena directly from the street, as if you were walking into a house.
“Yet inside is a stadium like the old days. Blue stands, open corners. Modern arenas are built differently, but this is just class.”
Yesterday the Record were passing on the news that James Bisgrove has exciting plans to raise the capacity of Ibrox to 70,000. The same story that the Record has been flogging for over 20 years due to the capacity of Celtic Park.
Or out of date as it’s more commonly known ?

The 70,000 stadium is on it’s way,so says wee Coco the klown at ibrox noise.
Apparently there is some American guy just been voted on to the board and he is worth £3.1 billion,maybe he knows Criag Whyte.
Wee Coco reckons this guy is ready to invest heavily in the squad come January,sounds like this American guy has been talking to wee Quark aka Alex Rae in the dressing room by the sounds of it,remember that fanny spoke about a MASSIVE investment from the the Asia or Arabs pumping MEGABUCKS into sevco,only for that to turn out to be a SQUIRREL STORY.
“Invest” heavily in the squad – It’ll be anything but an Invest with Sevco – Throw The Money on a bonfire or down the Govan Sewerage works more like with Sevco…
Jeez Oh – They like they’re fairy stories over there for sure –
Isn’t Financial Fair Play there to stop that kinda caper !
The dummy well and truly spat out on this site with posts either edited out or deleted, you know what they say, the TRUTH HURTS.
Editor: Look mate only one person is interested in Benny patter, share it elsewhere.
Is that the dummy picked up and spat out again.
Yourself and Forrest are a couple bloggers with double standards, lol at the denial from you both.
The BENNY script is only my opinion you either like it or lump it.
I’m gonna be nosey here Scud – But just wondering who is this fella called BENNY !
? Joe.
“…a stadium like the old days…” Actually, a stadium from the old days.
