I have seen it being said on here time and time again and it seems to be becoming an ever more popular topic of discussion the more people learn about it.
The Broomloan Gates at Ibrox are the gates where everyone wants their photo taken at because they are the originals which funnily enough used to be at the Copland end and were then moved ends. The Copland Gates on the otherhand are the gates which are poor replicas of the originals.
As taken from The Rangers Standard - "The famous blue and white wrought-iron gates were built to Archibald Leitch's specification in 1928. The original gates now stand at the corner of the Broomloan Road Stand and the Bill Struth Main Stand. This wasn't always the case, however. As the pictures show the original gates were positioned at the Copland Road end until the Club Deck renovations began. They were moved and placed where they reside to this day, and a vastly inferior imitation is now situated between the Copland Stand and Main Stand." - https://www.therangersstandard.co.u...ub-history/234-the-old-lady-of-edmiston-drive

My question to the club is, now we are in a healthy financial position available to start new projects around the stadium for the clubs 150th Anniversary in 2022, would we be able to see a proper replica of the original Ibrox Gates being put back where they originally used to stand at the Copland end of the ground before one of them was moved sides for the construction of the Club Deck?
