Supporters of the Rangers Charity Foundation raised £46,000 at a sleep out.
Volunteers participated in the Big Ibrox Sleep Out, where they spent a night in sleeping bags to raise vital funds for Glasgow City Mission’s Overnight Welcome Centre.
The charity event took place on Friday and Saturday, November 18 and 19, 2022.
Money raised will help the expansion of the Foundation’s Dream Fund experiences; helping vulnerable young people attain more at school and projects with key charity partners such as Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and Bowel Cancer UK.

Jack Geddes, Marketing and Fundraising Manager at Glasgow City Mission, said:
“We are again extremely grateful to the Rangers Charity Foundation and the Rangers supporters who slept out at Ibrox.
"The events are brilliantly organised by the Foundation and it is always a pleasure for our staff to meet with the passionate supporters who care so much for the most vulnerable in Glasgow.
“The total raised over the two nights is incredible, so thank you to all who took part and to those who donated, your generosity will help ensure nobody will need to sleep rough in Glasgow this winter.”

Connal Cochrane, Rangers Charity Foundation Director, said: “We would like to thank our supporters for their extraordinary commitment during this season’s Big Ibrox Sleep Out. Previous Sleep Out events have been hugely successful events that have done so much for homeless people in our city, raising over £317,000 for homelessness projects to date.
"It is a cause close to the heart of our supporters and we are proud to be playing our part in trying to end homelessness in Glasgow as well as making a tangible difference to our work in the community.”
Rangers kit sponsor 32Red also pledged its generous support to the Foundation and to every fan taking part in the Sleep Out.
It kick-started every participant’s fundraising by donating their first £10 of sponsorship and sponsored the hot breakfast provided for everyone in the morning after the event.
