Rangers face significant challenges as renovation delays at Ibrox Stadium's Copland Stand may force them to play their opening 2024-25 season matches away. The delay, caused by a materials shipment issue from Asia, impacts crucial fixtures including Champions League qualifiers. Murrayfield is a potential alternative venue, with Hampden ruled out due to prior commitments. The club is working on contingency plans, acknowledging fan disappointment and cost implications. The project delay has led to staff changes and frustration among Rangers officials, jeopardizing the completion timeline of the renovation.
