Before and After the Match

• The Louden Tavern (Copland Road). The definitive pre-match Rangers pub and a must-visit for home supporters. Located just a short walk from the Copland Road Stand, it’s decked out in club colours and memorabilia, with Rangers songs on the speakers and Sky Sports on the screens. Expect a full house, great banter, and an unmistakable Ibrox buzz.
  

• The District Bar (Edmiston Drive). A stone’s throw from the stadium, The District is one of the most established matchday watering holes near Ibrox. Compact, traditional, and always lively, it’s a proper supporters’ pub where you’ll hear team news debated over pints of Tennent’s from midday onwards.
  

• The Grapes Bar (Paisley Road West). Around a 10-minute walk from the stadium, The Grapes offers a warm welcome and a loyal Rangers crowd. It’s slightly off the main matchday route, making it a good option if you want a pre-game pint without the crush right by the ground.
  

• The Viceroy Bar (Paisley Road West). One of Glasgow’s most popular football pubs, The Viceroy is known for its friendly staff, big screens, and lively match build-up. Around a 15-minute walk to Ibrox, it’s a favourite meet-up point for groups before heading toward the subway or stadium.
  

• The Ibrox Bar (Copland Road). Right in the thick of it, this long-standing Rangers pub fills early and stays busy after the final whistle. Expect an authentic old-school football atmosphere, walls covered in club memorabilia, and a crowd that knows its history.
  

• The Albion Social Club (adjacent to Albion Car Park). Operated by the club, the Albion is open to both members and visitors on matchdays, offering drinks, food, and a relaxed family-friendly vibe. Ideal for those with parking nearby or families looking for something more comfortable pre-game
  

• The Quo Vadis (Paisley Road West). A large, lively pub with TVs, food, and a mixed but mostly blue crowd, Quo Vadis is a convenient choice for those coming via motorway or bus. Good for groups and a bit of breathing space compared to the Copland Road pubs.
  

• The La Fiorentina (Paisley Road West). For something more refined, this classic Italian restaurant is popular with supporters looking for a pre-match meal rather than a pint. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Ibrox and offers good service and hearty pasta dishes — perfect fuel for an afternoon of football.
  

• The Auctioneers (George Square, city centre). A large Wetherspoons-style bar close to Glasgow Central Station, great for travelling fans or early arrivals in the city. With frequent subway trains from St Enoch to Ibrox, it’s a convenient base before heading south for kick-off.

• The Horseshoe Bar (Drury Street, city centre). One of Glasgow’s most historic pubs, known for its circular bar and friendly football chat. Popular with fans before taking the short subway journey to the stadium.

Ibrox Stadium sits within Glasgow’s South Side, surrounded by pubs that have long served as meeting points for the Rangers faithful. On matchdays, the streets around Edmiston Drive and Copland Road come alive with blue, white, and red — scarves flying, songs echoing, and fans streaming toward the turnstiles.

Tip: The area around Ibrox fills quickly from about 90 minutes before kick-off. Many pubs operate door policies for big fixtures — especially Old Firm derbies or European nights — so arrive early to secure your spot. For visiting supporters, venues closer to Glasgow Central Station or the city centre are often the most practical (and less crowded) pre-match options.

When the floodlights come on and the teams walk out to the roar of “Follow Follow,” you’ll understand why Ibrox remains one of football’s great theatres, and why matchdays here are about far more than just the 90 minutes on the pitch.
