Rangers are looking at initial architect plans as they mull over a blueprint to expand Ibrox.
New chairman Andrew Cavenagh and his partners at the San Francisco 49ers announced after last year’s takeover that they were considering increasing the stadium’s current 51,500-seat capacity.
They are already working through a number of proposals to upgrade various areas around the ground – including the old megastore that has sat vacant since the club’s retail shop was moved to the new Edmiston House project.
But fans are most eager to hear what the club’s American owners plan to do about increasing capacity with thousands of supporters stuck on a waiting list for season tickets.
Cavenagh said: “We’ve talked before about some of the ideas we’ve had. We wrap all that together in Project Regen.
A general view of Ibrox Stadium
“There are different parts to it. Some of them are cosmetic, some of it is functional, some of it is how to increase revenue by changing general admission seats to hospitality.
“There’s list of opportunities for that within the stadium. We’re getting closer to having a priority list for that. There’s stadium expansion which is the most talked about. We have the actual proposals from architects and engineers.”
New chief exec Jim Gillespie added: “We’ve got initial proposals. We’re working with architects, engineers, project managers and have done surveys.
“We’re pulling these things together to see what is possible. Once we’ve got more detail on it, we’ll chat a bit more.
“We are progressing. We have to turn ambition into feasibility and then into reality. We’re at the feasibility part.”
