RANGERS fans with learning disabilities will now be able to enjoy the Ibrox experience after a sensory room was officially opened.

Broxi’s Den, which is located in the corner of the stadium between the Sandy Jardine Stand and Broomloan Stand, can accommodate up to eight supporters and their carers on a match day.

The suite will help children and young adults with complex learning difficulties and sensory challenges such as autism to acclimatise to the noise and crowds of a packed Ibrox.

Broxi’s Den was used for the first time on Saturday as Pedro Caixinha’s side drew 1-1 with Motherwell in the Premiership and will be open once again for the visit of Partick Thistle later this month.

Supporters have helped raise tens of thousands of pounds to fund the development of the sensory room after a group of fans visited the Stadium of Light in Sunderland to learn from their experiences.

Nine-in-a-row legend John Brown attended the official opening on Monday afternoon and hopes it will have a real impact for families.

He said: “Ibrox Stadium is a fantastic arena to watch football and I applaud everyone at Rangers for developing this facility to allow supporters to attend games who may have previously been unable to do so.

“Broxi’s Den will also be used to support a range of community programmes and I am sure it will be a great addition to the matchday experience.”

Ibrox chiefs worked with the Rangers Disability Matters Group to create the unique space that will allow many supporters to visit the stadium for the first time.

Children aged between five and 12 will receive priority for afternoon games and young adults will have priority for evening matches.

Light Blues striker Kenny Miller was also on hand to lend his support and he said: “I was speaking to someone about a lad that he knows that hasn’t been able to bring his boy to the games.

“I am sure there are families that can’t imagine not coming to Ibrox on a Saturday and watching their team play.

“This facility gives those families an opportunity and it is a fantastic set-up.

“There are different rooms, different viewing points indoor and outdoor.

“It is a great facility. It is all thanks to the people that have put in a lot of time and effort to get it ready.

“It gives families an opportunity to bring their kids along and to have that environment during the game is great.”
