Four objectors asked Glasgow's Licensing Board to turn down the bid to sell alcohol from G51 in the club's old superstore, but the club has been granted permission.
Rangers can open a new bar for season ticket holders and private bookings at Ibrox despite neighbours objecting over anti-social behaviour from fans, including “urinating in the street”.
But licensing lawyer Stephen McGowan, representing the club, said Ibrox has “more security and more controls than your average licensed premises”. Another resident had said: “One of the main problems that we all have is public urination in our gardens, in our closes. These are not things that Rangers, with the best will in the world, can control, however the impact is on our community.”
Cllr Hutchison, who represents Govan, argued the on-sales licence should be refused on “the grounds of preventing crime and disorder, securing public safety, preventing public nuisance and protecting and improving public health” Community or fan-led private bookings, such as family parties, will also be held in the venue, which has a capacity of over 400.
