CHILDREN with Sensory Processing Disorders will have a chance to see Mark Warburton’s side in action at Ibrox this season as Rangers get set to open the

first Sensory Space for kids in Scotland.

The club have been working to improve their facilities for disabled supporters and £30,000 was needed for the project to create a dedicated room within the stadium.

The latest fundraising event was held at Dundonald Links on Monday as the Sons of Struth hosted a golf day and charity auction.

A host of Light Blue legends – including Barcelona Bears Colin Stein, Willie Johnston and Willie Mathieson – were on hand to offer their support.

And Stevie Sinclair of the Rangers Disabled Supporters Club believes the Sensory Room will be a welcome addition to Ibrox.

He said: “I know Craig Houston and he mentioned that he was having a golf day. I can’t be out on the course because I am wheelchair bound so I was happy to help in the Clubhouse.

“It is a very worthwhile cause. I believe it is the first one in Scotland and only the second –Sunderland is the other one – in the UK so it is fantastic.

“There is wheelchair access into the stand and the room itself has a shower and lifts. It will be sound proof so that kids with autism can watch the game and they won’t hear the noise in the stands.

“They can watch the game with their family and that is a great thing for the kids. It is every parent’s dream to take their children to the football.

“They could be there for a couple of minutes and someone could drop a cup or shout and their sensory perception kicks in and they don’t feel comfortable in that environment so this will be excellent.

“I am part of a disability sub group working party for Club 1872. There are four or five of us getting that off the ground just now. So I was delighted to help the Sons of Struth.”

The room will be situated in the Govan West Corner at Ibrox and provide those with SPDs such a comfortable and secure environment to become part of the matchday experience.

Supporter representatives recently travelled to Sunderland to visit their Sensory Room and a Rangers spokesperson said: “The Club is extremely grateful for the support of the fans for this initiative which was proposed by the RFC Disability Matters Group.

“The Suite will be designed for young people on the autism spectrum and their families or carers who need additional support to enjoy the Ibrox matchday experience.

“The Club would like to thank the individual fans and supporters groups who have given up their time to help make this initiative possible.”
