Rangers have been criticized as “disgraceful” by their handling of the Ibrox redevelopment from BBC Scotland pundit Marvin Bartley, who also revealed that club bosses may soon be speaking to fans to address their concerns.
Speaking about the Ibrox-Hampden fiasco on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard on Thursday (July 18), the former player said he hoped someone would “fix the problems”.
He added that based on what he has seen, he expects club managers to come forward and talk to fans about the current situation.
Bartley said: “I’m a big supporter of Scottish football and I always try to talk about it as much as possible. To see one of our best clubs in this situation doesn’t look good for the people watching us.
“It’s a bit of a bummer for us, for us as Scottish football I’m not just talking about one football club, whoever it is.”
He added: “I’m sure I saw something the other day that [club managers] will come out and talk to the fans, but they have to do it sooner rather than later.”
Rangers will play their home games at Hampden Park
Rangers fans finally have a clear idea of where they will be rooting for their team at the start of the new season. With Ibrox undergoing lengthy renovations, there was a lot of uncertainty. But now the SPFL has confirmed that the Gers will temporarily play their home games at Hampden Park.
This announcement comes at just the right time, with Champions League and Premier League fixtures on the horizon. The SPFL and Scottish FA have approved Rangers’ request to use Hampden until at least September 5 for games against Motherwell, Ross County and possibly some Champions League games.
The club will also fund a plant growth program to ensure the Hampden surface is in top condition for the first home game.
Rangers will open their Premier League campaign away to Tynecastle against Hearts, followed by the first home game at Hampden against Motherwell on August 10.
Although this solution is temporary, there is still uncertainty as to whether Ibrox will be ready on September 5. The club’s management is worried that they could only return to their home field in October.
Right now, fans and players alike will be adapting to their temporary home at Hampden Park.
