Rangers are set to return to Ibrox for their Premier Sports Cup quarter-final clash with Dundee, though the stadium will not be fully open.
The Copland Stand will remain closed for the match on September 21, as final concourse and seating works are still being completed. Rangers have been playing their home matches at Hampden Park earlier this season due to ongoing renovations at Ibrox. However, their recent victory over Ross County marked their final league game at the national stadium, with a return to their home ground now scheduled.
In a statement, the club announced: “Rangers Football Club today confirms our Premier Sports Cup tie with Dundee on Saturday, 21 September, will be played at Ibrox Stadium. Excluding the Copland Stand, where final concourse and seating works are ongoing, all areas of our home will be open for this match. Season ticket holders from the Copland Stand will be offered an exclusive window to purchase seating elsewhere.”
Rangers had temporarily relocated to Hampden Park due to the renovations at Ibrox. Chairman John Bennett had previously expressed hopes of returning to Ibrox by the end of September, targeting the Hibernian match in the Scottish Premiership. Plans have now been confirmed to return for the Cup tie against Dundee, with the green light given for the stadium’s partial reopening.
