Rangers make major Ibrox announcement as Copland Stand works near completion
Rangers have announced that the Copland Front will be OPEN for next week's return to Ibrox.
Gers chiefs announced at the start of the month that they would be moving back to their Govan home for the visit of Dundee after being forced to temporarily relocate to Hampden Park. The Light Blues have been working around the clock to get their stadium ready after plans to install disabled facilities in the Copland Stand were hit by shipping delays.
It was initially stated that the entire stand behind the goal would be shut for the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final, but the club have now confirmed that the bottom section of the two-tier stand will be able to accommodate supporters.

A club statement read: "Following good progress in completion works, Rangers can today confirm the Copland Front will be open for the Dundee match in the Premier Sports Cup on 21 September.
"Season-ticket holders from this area will now be able to purchase their own seat from 5pm this evening, while supporters in the Copland Rear, which will remain closed for this match as final concourse works continue, can select an alternative seat elsewhere in the stadium, also from 5pm this evening."
Rangers return to Premiership action following the international break this Sunday when they travel to Tannadice to face Dundee United. Philippe Clement's side will then make their long-awaited return to Ibrox as the Premier Sports Cup holders battle it out with Dundee for a place in the semi-finals.
