Yesterday the club website announced a variety of maintenance work with The Scottish Sun treating the new seriously.
With nothing on the football pitch to cheer about all sorts of other issues gain credibility among fans.
Ibrox is often referred to as The Old Lady of Edmiston Drive, the marble staircase has mythical powers while Jimmy Bells Cupboard has grown men getting dewy eyed.
Almost 100 years old The Main Stand is especially revered with every aspect of it apparently world class and unique.
For outsiders the Trophy Room has always been a source of amusement.
It has contained a bike since St Etienne beat Jock Wallace’s side home and away in 1976. True, not many if any clubs have a bike in their Trophy Room.
Every new year The Loving Cup is dished out to visiting directors. A gift from Stoke City, only 40 were created, again it contains magical, symbolic powers.
Works underway at Ibrox as Rangers roll out several upgrades to stadium as trophy room to be revamped and stands renovated https://t.co/0qwmOUhb1V

The last relevant trophy to visit the mouldy old cupboard was the League Cup.
IBROX- THE TROPHYLESS TROPHY ROOM
It arrived in December 2023 and left 12 months later. Only Jack Butland and Dujon Sterling remain of that squad.
Celtic and St Mirren share the main trophies in Scottish football with both grounds within a 10 mile radius of Ibrox.
A museum might be a more apt title for that place inside Ibrox.
A growing number of items from the liquidated Rangers club are on show. Alongside ceramics from across the world of football.
It is unlikely that James Tavernier will be gifting any items to the club.
His departure is another blow for those that hang on to the same club myth.
Although a very well paid serial loser he gave fans someone to cling onto. All of those fake accolades such as the highest scoring defender in UK football provide a level of comfort.
Hopefully there are no arrivals in the Trophy Room any time soon. Allowing grieving bears to wallow wallow in the past.
Putting a new cabinet to display their dinner plates and a bike rack in the trophy room isn’t exactly an upgrade.

Celtic have absolutely no chance in this year’s Pre-Season Trophy as per usual. Same old, same old. Rangers Re-Vamping again, signing so on and so on.

Sure it wizny “re-ramped” so they can get the bike oot?
Transvision Re – Vamp…
The trophy room’s bare – And –
Baby I don’t care !!!
It’s the games of transfer bingo that will take place once the world cup is on that will be really entertaining.
Just think of all those players that will be heading to ibrox as free agents or with price tags that no other clubs can afford other than sevco.
Then you will get the pish oh he wore a sevco top for years,oh he’s always wanted to play for sevco.
I’ve heard there’s one of Gordon Smith’s old Syrups in the trophy room all for posterity and the archives . Sitting in an air conditioned room affectionately brushed and combed . Freshly ‘gelled ‘ by a loving devotee each day too no doubt !
As Fat Sally might say……….. There’s F**KAW in it!
Chewin’ the Fat with Betty
The Blue room looks like a mix between a cheap Storage Wars container, an Oxfam charity shop and a Cash Generator’s. It’s as if the clock has stopped in 2012, the trophy rooms a time capsule, you expect Miss Havisham to be sitting there in her wedding dress looking at all the unpolished silverware and dusty ceramics Ready to die, like the original cheating Rangers did in 2012. Swept under the carpet of course will be a jar of syrup of figs commemorating Queenies official Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne, a final reminder about an unpaid tax bill, a Valentines day card from Duff and Phelps and an urn containing the ashes of Deadco.
The Old Lady of Edmiston Drive who could hardly climb the marble staircase may have been Auld Betty who undertook wartime duties while her beloved Charlie was back at the front with the Gordonstoun highlanders. Reminisces of Betty’s legs akimbo exploits with the bike were a Tour de Force. Many’s the time she’d be on her Pyrenees getting the team into lane, leaving herself breathless going that extra mile to keep them staying upright during the blackouts. To keep pace with betty’s wheely big appetite for a plunge the punctured outfit would have to handle all the ups and downs, fasten their stirrups for it was going to be a bumpy ride. While Betty was back in the saddle putting her foot to the peddle, testing their endurance,
her saddle bags were exposed hitting a speed bump. It was downhill all the way when she mounted side saddle letting the air out of the teams tyres. After she shared her loving cup, there was a break in the chain, it was either ring her bell fast to get to the finish line or join the breakaway group. Once she had a grip of the handle there was no back peddling the ball bearings were lost. With no where to turn, no red light or no entry signs ahead, it was time to apply the brakes for those that road their luck, leaving skid marks. To this day along the downward silvery slope they still leave a smell. To Summit up, the points leaders in the Green jersey made it past the Hor du Huns EBTs scam. Wee Betty fcuked yous all up proper!
