It is situated south of the River Clyde and is part of the former burgh of Govan.

[1] The origin of the name Ibrox is unclear: it may either derive from the Cumbric / Northern Brittonic broch (see Proto-Brythonic brox) or, possibly, the Gaelic àth bruic, meaning "badger ford", but this is unconfirmed.

[2][3] It is within walking distance of the Pacific Quay Media Park, housing BBC Scotland, STV and other production companies along with the Glasgow Science Centre.

[6] Ibrox is home to an original artwork by South African artist Faith47.

Located on Copland Road opposite the entrance to Fairley Street, the piece was completed during the preparations for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
