This winter, another cohort of brave Rangers supporters will sleep outside at Ibrox to raise money for those impacted by homelessness.

The Big Ibrox Sleep out is an annual event run by the Rangers Charity Foundation, working with partners Glasgow City Mission and the Simon Community. 

This year, the Rangers Review will participate in the event to help raise funds and highlight the vital work of the club's charity arm and partners in the homeless sector over winter.

Half the funds raised will benefit the work of Glasgow City Mission and Simon Community Scotland, with the other half of the profits supporting the Rangers Charity Foundation.

Over 40,000 homelessness applications have been made over the 2023-24 period, an increase of over 1,000 compared to 2022-23, and the highest since 2011-12. On 31 March 2024, 16,330 households were living in temporary accommodation, a figure which is 9% higher than the previous year.

Both the City Mission and Simon Community will once again undertake vital work this winter to advocate for those in temporary accommodation and support those seeking a route out of homelessness.

Murray Easton, Head of Fundraising and Communications at Simon Community Scotland commented: “Right now, between 30 and 40 people are rough sleeping in Glasgow every night. Thousands more are staying in emergency and temporary accommodation. The housing emergency is a people emergency, and we need all the help we can get.”

Glasgow City Mission Fundraising Manager, Jack Geddes, commented: “Glasgow City Mission is extremely grateful to the Rangers Charity Foundation for their ongoing support of those affected by homelessness in Glasgow. We also thank the Rangers supporters who will be taking part in the Sleep Outs with such enthusiasm and care for those they are helping.”
