In these days of ultra modern new stadia, some soulless or built on the cheap, it really is a joy to visit the iconic stadium of Scotland's most decorated and successful club side. Access to the stadium is effortlessly easy using the famous Glasgow "Clockwork Orange" Underground System. Step on board at any of the city centre underground stations and head for Ibrox Underground. Alight there, and it is but a short walk to the stadium. You quite literally cannot possibly miss it. It's just round the corner as you leave Ibrox Underground. There is also ample free car parking around the stadium non match days, although many visitors to Glasgow would prefer to leave the car at the hotel and sample lunch and a glass of wine in the stadium, overlooking the pitch, open every weekday. And the food and staff are excellent. Back to the stadium itself. From the moment you arrive at the famous entrance on Edmiston Drive, passing the unique red brick listed building frontage, and make your way up the winding marble staircase, it is simply impossible not to feel the history and oppulence of the place. Of course, huge improvements were made to the stadium following the worst of it's three previous disasters, the last in 1971 claiming 66 lives and sparking a forward thinking complete redevelopment of the entire stadium to ensure it could never haplen again. The redevlopment, completed 1978, has now delivered a stadium that affords all one might expect of a modern sports venue, without having lost any of it's feeling of honouring it's past. The manager's office, boardroom and trophy room bombard the senses with images of famous former greats and past glories. And when you reach the dugouts and stand pitchside, you begin to understand the true stature of this european giant. I can't recommend this stadium tour highly enough, and I'd also like to add that the quite wonderful Founder's Trail tour also sensitively guides you around the city of Glasgow, tracing the origins of this amazing football club. No trip to Glasgow could ever be considered even close to complete without a visit to Ibrox Stadium. An absolute must do for all fans of football and it's glorious past and future.

There was a big group when I went on the stadium tour and museum visit, including a big party of Spanish football fanatics, The cost of 13 pounds for the tour and museum is great value and you could spend at least 2 hours here easily. Ronne, the tour guide, was very informative and friendly and he took us into the changing rooms, into the ground, as well as the indoor warm up area where our shoots at goal were electronically measured! The museum alone has many exhibits covering so much history of Scottish football, including a wall of the Scottish Hall of Fame. This is a pretty good activity if visiting Glasgow and you enjoy sports.
