Rangers ensure traditions stick as King Charles leads the Hampden mod cons after Ibrox flit

Rangers have decanted a portrait of King Charles from Ibrox to their dressing room at their temporary stadium as they aim to make Hampden a home from home.

The Light Blues had a picture of Queen Elizabeth displayed on the wall of the home dressing room for decades and it was replaced by an image of the King - one taken as an official portrait to mark his 60th birthday, shot in 2008 - when she passed away and her first son ascended to the throne.

And after being forced to flit to the National Stadium due to a delay in Ibrox Stadium construction, Rangers have been transforming the stadium. Banners and logos have been displayed at the main entrance and now a photo that has emerged on social media shows even the finer details with His Majesty hanging from the tiled wall.

The move has gone down well with fans with one taking to social media to say: "Fantastic to see Rangers maintaining standards and traditions while we are on our temporary stay at Hampden." Another simply added: "Absolutely sensational Rangers."

The tradition of having the monarch’s portrait hanging on the Ibrox dressing wall was introduced by the manager Graeme Souness who said it was one of the first things he did after taking up the position in 1986.

He explained previously: “When I was at Glasgow Rangers… we have an old fashioned dressing room with great, big, high ceilings and it was crying out for a portrait of our Queen. So, I instructed (the kit man) Doddie, who was the boss of the dressing room – not the tallest of chaps – so he went out and got this picture that was slightly bigger than him. And he put it up in the dressing room and it’s still there today, and I’m proud I was responsible for that.”
