Rangers are set to play two 'home matches' away from Ibrox after the Scottish Premiership fixture list was revealed.
The Ibrox club discovered their league schedule for the 2024/25 season at 9am this morning when chiefs announced the fixture dates for the new campaign.
And there is particular intrigue in Rangers' first month of fixtures with the club set to play their home matches at an alternative venue as building work continues at Ibrox.Â

Club chiefs admitted last week that delays in material shipments have meant they'll need to play matches elsewhere at the start of the season.Â
It's expected the work could be completed by September - meaning home matches in August will have to be played elsewhere.
Rangers have been issued two home matches in August - against Motherwell and Ross County.
Rangers begin their campaign away to Hearts before hosting Motherwell on August 10 and then Ross County on August 24.
It's understood no solution has been finalised for an alternative venue meaning it remains unknown where the two home matches will be played.

A club statement confirmed: “Rangers has recently been advised of a delay in a materials shipment from Asia which is likely to have an impact on the programme for the completion of the Copland Stand works.
"It is therefore expected, unfortunately, that there will be an impact on matches at Ibrox at the beginning of the 2024/25 competitive season.
"The club has engaged with the SPFL and UEFA in order to review planned contingency arrangements. Naturally, everyone at Rangers is deeply disappointed with this news.
"The club is working intensively to ensure that all steps are taken to deliver the project at the earliest possible date and a further progress update will be issued to supporters in due course."
