'Ibrox', an area of Glasgow in Scotland and a famous football stadium, derives its name from what?

The name 'Ibrox' derives from the Scottish Gaelic “Ath Bruic”, which means 'badger's ford', sometimes translated as 'badger's den' or 'set'. Before being called a badger (from the early 16th century on), the animal was referred to in English as a “brock”.

Ibrox is an area of Glasgow to the south of the River Clyde next to Govan. It is within walking distance of the new Pacific Quay Media Park, housing BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) Scotland, Scottish TV and other production companies along with the Glasgow Science Centre.

The area name is undoubtedly best recognised for being the location of Ibrox Stadium, originally Ibrox Park, the stadium of Rangers Football Club. As one of the oldest and largest stadia in Britain, the site of two major disasters, and as one of the first wave of predominantly all-seater football grounds in Britain, Ibrox has been identified as a stadium of historical significance. Its architectural importance was recognised in 1987 with the designation of its South Stand, now named the Bill Struth Main Stand, as a Category B listed building.
