Plans have been put forward which could see 160 flats built opposite Ibrox Stadium.

Merchant Homes has submitted proposals to convert part of the Albion Car Park, at the junction of Broomloan Road and Edmiston Drive, into a residential development.

The housebuilder’s architects have described the blueprint, which consists of two back-to-back horseshoe shaped blocks, as “both sympathetic to and celebratory of the history of the area.”
