[@David-A-CFC]

Dundee is the pitch to use

[@sammckinstry]

Maybe Celtic should ground-share with Rangers as they need us so much to provide a target for their fans.

[@RFCjambo1872]

Need to put sterling in as project manager

[@99037149]

Murrayfield is the only option. Yes we could play domestic games away until it was ready but Euro qualifying games need to be played at home. Total balls up.

[@user-ci7ej6wc5n]

very rarely do building projects stay on time, it's not the club's fault, we just have to get on with it, no excuses, all pitches are regulation size, and the ball is the same size.

[@Son-Of-Gillean]

Don't think it is an embarrassment for the club. As much as its frustrating, delays in a construction projects happen all the time, and it's not something that is in direct control of the club. If embarrassment and frustrations are to be directed anywhere, it's with the contractors.

[@grantmcroberts4089]

Eh how about leave the stadium alone in the first place fs. Oh no we just let the board wanting to find another way to fleece fans and waste money on something that wasn't needed but yet wanting to sign absolute garbage and not title winning players

[@johnh10069]

It's more than embarassing it's incompetence

[@Son-Of-Gillean]

@@grantmcroberts4089 I don't see how increasing disabled access and adding some extra seats is fleecing fans. I doubt the wheelchair users and fans who normally wouldn't be able to get season ticket will say it's a waste of money.

[@Son-Of-Gillean]

@@johnh10069 Not on Rangers's part though. As I said, frustrations should be aimed at the contractors who are responsible for planning the project and acquiring materials.

[@goggsgrant7767]

Agree son of Gillean

[@matthewgrant2328]

What an absolutely shambles, come to expect that tho.

[@GOMAROMA]

Thanks for update.

[@angusmackay7281]

Surely there are clauses in the contract that cover this?

[@sammckinstry]

Might provide some compensation, but it won't change realities at the ground.

[@Sonnie125]

Had to be my stand , The Copland Rd 🤦‍♂️ Knew it wouldn’t be finished in time , when dealing with a stadium of certain age there’s bound to be some issues ..

[@johnh10069]

It's the whole stadium

[@snakeplisskin1]

The steel should have been in the Uk before before the work began!!

[@jixuscrixus1967]

For transparency it would be good to understand the following; a) The architect b) The contractors for engineering, procurement, construction and installation c) The overall Project Management d) Confirm or clarify the media rumours of asbestos and subsidence beneath the stand e) Explain/detail the timeline of the project planning, bidding process, contract(s) awards, building approvals, purchase order to Asian steel mill and/or Asian fabrication contractor, shipping details. f) Company representative responsible for liaison and coordination of the project. Use different coloured crayons, keep the explanations simple and the narrative in plain English (nae big words), post a video on KZbin that your fanbase can understand.

[@kenrussell1635]

Good old JIT delivery. Who is the project manager? Who has been tracking this project?

[@kennym4h48]

Dessers….

[@DismasGoodthief-ic8nr]

Cappilow or St mirren are safest options and just down road away from city traffic.

[@tomcroll]

Hampden is pish - let's play at Wembley!

[@misterx9364]

Just commented the same thing, 90000 seater we will never play there again day out in London for the bears

[@robertcraig4689]

Why can't we just close the copland stand and open rest of stadium

[@danbreen6946]

Brainless sevconian 😂🍀🍀

[@johnmorrison1680]

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

[@alanocallaghan2883]

Because there's a giant crane on the pitch .

[@jixuscrixus1967]

There are media rumours of asbestos, if those are correct in relation to the Copeland Rd stand you can reasonably assume they will need to check Broomloan, Sandy Jardine and main stands for same.

[@Mountainman2468]

What exactly is the Copeland Road stand going to like when eventually finished ?

[@thomasmorin749]

Have they never heard of Murray International Metals.

[@norrie23]

Murrayfield is bouncing when Scotland's rugby team are at home so if The Gers supporters get behind the team like we do at Ibrox we can have some great times over there. Come On Rangers 🇬🇧

[@johnh10069]

Who is doing it, city building

[@davidpenrose1255]

When stuff like this happens it's usually a good few months more before work is complete.

[@bigmeltie1]

Suppliers failing customer shocker! The club were in a difficult position having such a short window to have the work done,

[@rangersnut]

Poor planning

[@danbreen6946]

How do you think the face painter felt 😅🍀🍀

[@johnjeffrey5432]

Dundee will be loving this 😂

[@chrissmith6022]

Shambolic farce

[@veritasrising]

When are Rangers going to get their act together? The club is going from one crisis to another. I'm sure across the city they will be laughing all the way to the bank.

[@gecko908]

Play at Firhill.

[@davidpenrose1255]

This will do our European qualifying game's no favours ,

[@kenrussell1635]

Hope there are penalties in the contracts.

[@1963johnbhoy]

You always get penalties so no change there then ,maybe they are awaiting payments. 😂😂😂

[@gecko908]

Shortsighted planning. The season ahead is crucial and from the outset beginning with a disadvantage. Just have to overcome the setback and we shall.

[@danbreen6946]

Still canny see yous coming 😅🍀🍀

[@alanocallaghan2883]

Imagine them bringing in potential signings to show them the stadium . Here ronaldo put on this hazmat suit and helmet .

[@WilliamKelt]

Do you think the club should had told the rangers fans before the work starts

[@chris19873]

Just get planning for new stadium

[@John-vw3lr]

In an era when Rangers aren’t exactly flush with money the club could be doing with this having to “ Rent “ other stadium will cost a lot of money !

[@stevopirate9017]

Jeezy peeps, man. 😮‍💨

[@williamsafari6437]

work should never have started till the contractor had all the prefab steel ect ect shipped & in storage in glasgow .amature

[@ianedwards1223]

It was always a risk with such a short window of work to get done

[@chris19873]

Would have been more important to expand the Capacity of ibrox lol

[@peregrinepete]

What is happening is Clement picking these new players or someone else

[@andytodd5295]

Will we be given refunds? I have no interest in travelling to Murrayfield. Will the burden of the reimbursement be from the contractors?

[@georget1050]

So follow ,follow is just a song then.

[@johnh10069]

Disgrace but it's rangers what do we expect

[@ciarandeeney8967]

No money for transfers. No home ground for start of season.No champions league. No money for british steel. bisgrove seen all this coming and jumped ship. More bid news on way for sure!!

[@user-gf6yl8jg6z]

All we need now - is Tavernier to declare he wants to be Rangers captain until he retires. Buckle up troops. It's gonna be a chaotic season.

[@Doug94565]

Lieswell couldn't have planned this any better, no need for his random computer this year

[@davidphillips1500]

It’s not ideal more interested in rebuild hopefully not penny pinching for this.

[@theSimpleCatholicMan]

Is the issue possibly the payment for the job?

[@danbreen6946]

More than likely 😅🍀🍀

[@jamesperrie1393]

Aye you lot don’t like paying compensation to your victims.

[@theSimpleCatholicMan]

Do you ever worry about how your mind goes directly to child abuse? I pray for your children. God bless

[@alanocallaghan2883]

You must pay in full before goods are shipped . They haven't paid . Probably bouncy bounced a cheque . 😂

Fkn embarrassment… standard now a days from this club.. 🤦‍♂️

Hmmmm more penalties. 😂😂

All this for 600 seats. 👀

[@user-yz5yq7xy2u]

The irony of David Murray backing Maggie Thatcher’s destruction of the Scottish Steel Industry Payback is a bitch

[@rangersnut]

Rangers should have insurance or some kind of mechanism legally to sue the company that has let us down for not having the structure ready on time. The company that caused this should face the penalties to our financial losses. Still what a FN shambles and how small time do we look. This board has alot to answer for. Its not been good enough and this is really pathetic. They need to get it together. They should fire the project manager on this.

[@peregrinepete]

Shambles

[@johnh10069]

Super, super Dundee. Ha ha, at least dens park is safe, and another thing you've brushed under the carpet is ibrox is ridden with asbestos, big problem. No funds, "you cant polish a turd".😂.

Beyond embarrassing how our club is run. Every season it’s something, can never just focus on the football.

[@user-yt5il3yi1z]

Is china the only place to buy girders😂 Look at the big picture the club is skint. Always on Denial.

[@Prod1872]

Shambles. Only positive I see is we’ll have 65k bears showing up to Murrayfield and will show our board why Ibrox needs its capacity increased big time

[@brianthomson5889]

Old Trafford 😂 take over Manchester again

[@alanfox691]

Needs to be a stadium in Scotland foolish moment.

[@Kyle-ss3sx]

Let’s be absolutely clear we are shocking run and our board are amateurs. We are being run akin to them during our 9 in a row years. Guaranteed our shambolic board haven’t placed clauses in suppliers contracts whereby extra costs are borne by them. Que 5 different strips out to foot the bill. Start asking the difficult questions Rangers Review. It’s okay though we are building a pub at the corner of the Copland (wake up people). The first head to roll should be Bennett.

[@rangersnut]

They were run better in our 9 in a row years. They had a side that was financially sound that competed and at least pushed us in that time. Their fans weren't happy because they couldn't keep up with us or what we were spending, which we later found out was total mismanagement by Murray. The way they were run is why they are financially strong now. They all hated Fergus Mcann but he was clearly prudent and shrewd, which allowed them to build a future. Those running things are a total embarrassment.

@@danbreen6946 Obssessed much?

[@michaelboyle5805]

​. This is like watching a car crash, ya know you shouldn't watch, but you can't help it. Looks to me like a scam, by the board, why fix a stand, when it's on the pitch that needs fixing. Bet this all falls through and the stand won't be done. And the excuse will, there was no money to build a squad, And another season will come and go Wake up, your being screwed

Well its a coincidence we playing Manchester utd at Murray field. Be there I hope lol
