Jimbo. 952 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 It was named it after the Gallant Pioneer Iain Brox. The ground was originally built in Clydebank, but they decided to move it brick-by-brick to Ibrox because the name suited it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangershistory 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 You are all wrong it comes from the dutch verdienen kopje deIbrox. this was the motto of the Dutch royal family. A few hundread years ago a member of the Dutch royal family was visiting Scotland and camped in the area. He gave thanks to the people of the area and stated that he would one day return and build the people a palace of beauty. Over the years the name was shortened to Ibrox.
