Situated on the banks of the River Clyde, the Ibrox stadium, or Ibrox Park houses one of the most famous and oldest football clubs of United Kingdom. The stadium witnessed a record crowd of 118,567 in January 1939 against their arch rivals .This remains the record attendance for a league match in Britain.
The stadium is one of 28 European stadiums which have UEFA's 5-star rating, enabling it to host finals of the UEFA Champions League and the European Championship. Along this stadium there are only two other stadiums in the UK which have UEFA's 5 star rating,namely the Hampden Park and Old Trafford.
The stadium has also witnessed tragedy when 25 spectators died as a stand collapsed during the 1902 British Championship tournament.
Although the current players and fans are multinational and multi-ethnic, the club has traditionally been identified with the Protestant Community of the UK. The club has always faced bitter rivalry with another club, nicknamed the Bhoys (from the same city). This rivalry, known as the Old Firm, continues to be one of the most competitive in modern day sports. This rivalry was initiated perhaps because of the fact that the rival club was preominantly formed from Catholic Christian roots......
Nicknamed as the Teddy Bears and also the Bluenoses, the club has won the European Cup Winner's Cup title once and
the League Cup(UEFA cup) a whopping 24 times. Some of the prominent players who have played in this club include Argentinian Claudio Caniggia, Italian Gennaro Gattuso, Paul Gascoigne of England and Giovanni Van Bronckhorst of the Netherlands.
