Rangers agree deal to play games at Hampden Park

Rangers have announced that their early games will be played at Hampden Park after the SFA and SPFL accepted their request.

The club announced late last month that the supply chain issues meant that the Copland Stand project would not be ready by the start of the 2024/25 season.

A club statement said:

“Further to last week’s update, the club is continuing work at pace on detailed plans for the transition to the National Stadium.

At this stage, the club can announce our William Hill Scottish Premiership matches with Motherwell on Saturday, 10 August and Ross County on Saturday 24 August will be played at Hampden, with both matches kicking-off at 3pm.

With draws still to be made for the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and potential play-off round, plus a potential home tie in the Premier Sports Cup, the club will communicate news on dates and kick-off times for them once the information is confirmed.

The club is continuing to work tirelessly on the Copland Stand project at Ibrox to complete that as soon as possible. As soon as the club can provide a definitive update on matches returning to our home, it will do so.

Rangers again puts on record its thanks to the Scottish FA and the SPFL for their considerable work in reaching this solution.

Above all, the club thanks our supporters for their ongoing patience and understanding as we deal with this challenge.”
