  2. The Rangers Study Support Centre is the first of its kind in Scotland. The Centre is operated as a partnership between Glasgow City Council Education Services and Rangers Football Club. It was initially launched in the Govan Stand of Ibrox Stadium in November 2001 by then Education Minister Jack McConnell. In December 2006 Mr McConnell returned as First Minister to reopen the brand new facility in the Broomloan Stand. The resource is aimed at upper primary and secondary pupils, as well as the wider Glasgow community. A variety of educational and community projects run during school term time and also during the summer holidays
