Rangers to call Hampden home until early September

Rangers have agreed a relocation to Hampden Park up to early September due to delayed construction work at Ibrox Stadium.

League matches against Motherwell and Ross County on 10 and 24 August will be played at the national stadium, while there are other potential home fixtures in Europe and the Premier Sports Cup.

The Scottish FA has revealed the arrangement runs until Scotland host Poland in the Nations League on 5 September.

The governing body also say Rangers are committed to pay for "an accelerated pitch growth programme" to make sure the Hampden grass is ready for the Scottish Premiership kick-off.

A statement from Rangers says the club is "continuing to work tirelessly" on completing work to the Copland Stand "as soon as possible".

It continues: "As soon as the club can provide a definitive update on matches returning to our home, it will do so."

Queen's Park, who have a prior agreement to use Hampden from September, will switch the date of their Championship meeting with Livingston to the evening of Friday 9 August at their City Stadium, which is next door to the national stadium on the Southside of Glasgow.
