00:00This is the Rangers Directors' Box. It's the biggest directors' box in Scotland.
00:04There's 101 seats in here. Little has changed in here since 1928.
00:09New seating, better seating, but it's the same wooden surround,
00:13all the way around. And you think of the famous people
00:16who have come up these steps. The Queen, Prime Ministers,
00:19politicians, sports stars, pop stars. Would you call Ross Stewart a pop star?
00:26Rangers directors always sit in the top left-hand corner here.
00:30The seat on the second row at the end is always left free
00:33in case the Rangers manager gets sent to the stand.
00:36Graeme Souness was very familiar with that seat.
00:39Walter was known to go there fairly regularly.
00:42After the disaster of 71, we had to change the structure of the stadium.
00:47And it went all over Europe to get a template to fit this ground
00:50and we copied Borussia Dortmund. So the three stands opposite this stand
00:55were copied from Borussia Dortmund. Now, the corners are filled in
00:59so it doesn't quite have the same effect, but it's obstruction-free stands.
01:04We're not allowed to touch this main stand, listed building.
01:07We can't take a brick out of the main stand at all.
01:11We can't touch the main court, the first level.
01:15Can't touch the reception area, listed building.
