An American consortium, spearheaded by San Francisco 49ers executive Paraag Marathe, is in advanced negotiations to acquire a significant stake in Rangers Football Club.
If successful, the deal could bring a financial boost to the Ibrox side and potentially lay the groundwork for a complete takeover in the future.
The investment is expected to provide Rangers with vital funds, access to the 49ers’ expertise in data-driven player recruitment, and new commercial opportunities.
This could help the club close the gap on rivals Celtic, who recently reported a £44 million profit for the first half of the season and currently dominate Scottish football.
Rangers’ ownership is presently divided among several key shareholders, including former chairman Dave King (12.96%) and Douglas Park (11.54%).
The proposed deal could reshape the club’s leadership and offer fresh resources to challenge Celtic’s supremacy.
Both parties have remained tight-lipped about the discussions, with a Rangers spokesperson stating that any such negotiations would remain confidential.
If concluded, this investment could have a transformative impact on Rangers and Scottish football as a whole.
