Particularly of note nearby is Ibrox Stadium, home of Rangers F.C. The station is extremely busy on matchdays, with an additional entrance on Woodville Street opening to accommodate the vastly increased volume of passenger traffic. However, the station is generally quiet at other times and records around 540,000 boardings per year.[2]

Also nearby is Glasgow Science Centre, although SPT suggest that Cessnock station is the 'get off' point for the Science Centre, as it is closer.

Ibrox (under its former name of Copland Road) is one of the stations mentioned in Cliff Hanley's song The Glasgow Underground.[3]
