    Good evening, guys.
    For the last hour or so, I've been Google mapping my way around Glasgow's football stadiums, and now I have a question: what is the glass structure adjacent to the big blue Rangers FC gates, close to the Copland Stand? Is it an elaborate stairwell that gives access to the stand on Edmiston Drive? If so, it's impressive.
    Bye.

    Yes it is the UEFA 5 star rated stairway. Don't listen to the fenian bastards that will now say, " shame your stairway wasn't 5 star at the Ibrox disaster" etc. Those fenian bastards are scum.

    Cheers, M. When was it built? I'd say the Ibrox area has more character than Parkhead, though I do like the fact you can Google your way under the Janefield Street stand at Celtic. And the mural at the back of Partick Thistle's defunct south stand is wondrous.

    The stairway that you are on about was built when they put the 3rd tier on the main stand, which was 1994ish. I actually did my project about the 3rd tier being built in my Technological Studies class. Wish I still had a copy of it, it was excellent even if I do say so myself.

    I'm heading up to Glasgow in early August. I'll be staying at Hotel Indigo for four nights, so that should give me enough time to visit the football grounds, religious buildings and other key places of interest. I'll create a travel blog and publish it here. :)

    Glasgow's great. Always loved it.

    Since you're in the Central Belt take a trip back in time (approximately 600 years) to ye olde Edinbuggerer. Marvel at the backwardness of the local mutants and their preoccupation with tartan skirts, hagii, shortbread and all manner of insignificant and outdated and outmoded nonsensical tat.

    Keep a keen eye out and you may glimpse the rarely seen lesser spotted Tarquin, easily identifiable by his peely wally complexion, skelf like physique on board his quaint unicycle. Worth the 5 shilling admission fee alone I can tell you.
