RANGERS will allow key workers in the NHS, Police and British Army to access free parking at the Albion during the Coronavirus crisis.
The Ibrox board have been in dialogue with supporter organisation Club 1872 and have moved to implement a proposal to aid staff at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The Albion car park will not be in use for some time as the Covid-19 outbreak continues to have an impact on Scottish football but the area adjacent to Ibrox will now be made available for hospital staff.
A Club 1872 statement read: "Club 1872 has been speaking to Rangers over the past few days about how the club might help support key workers in Glasgow and in particular NHS staff who continue to work under very difficult circumstances on behalf of all of us.
"We suggested to Rangers that the Albion Car Park might be utilised by NHS staff at the nearby Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
"We are delighted to say the club has now confirmed that they have made the offer of free use of the car park to the NHS, Police Scotland and the British Army, should any of them be able to utilise it.
"Whilst the practicalities of any such use are still to be worked out, we are very proud that our club has stepped up with this offer of assistance and we will continue to liaise with them over any similar opportunities over the coming weeks.
"Club 1872 would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere thanks to all key workers across the UK for their selfless work during the Covid-19 outbreak."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
