With 49ers Enterprises aiming to make a significant impact, Rangers are reportedly closing in on the signing of a promising and versatile forward who has been won over by the club’s vision ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 49ers’ Vision for Rangers
As the American ownership group moves closer to completing their takeover of the Scottish giants, their ambition is clear—restore Rangers to the top of Scottish football.
Having already shown their ability to influence and revamp a club through their involvement with Leeds United, the 49ers will now look to replicate that success at Ibrox.
However, the challenge they face is substantial. Celtic’s continued dominance in the Scottish Premiership only adds to the urgency, and with Rangers in need of a permanent manager, this summer will be a critical period of transition and decision-making.
Search for a New Manager
Several candidates have already been linked with the vacant managerial role.
Rafael Benitez offers experience and pedigree, while Steven Gerrard, who led the club to title success before departing for Aston Villa in 2021, would likely divide opinion among fans.
Other potential options include Danny Rohl and Davide Ancelotti, two younger, tactical minds who bring intrigue and modern ideas to the table.
The recently concluded league campaign means that an announcement on the new manager could come sooner rather than later.
Barry Ferguson, who served as interim boss at the end of the season, has not hidden his desire to stay on permanently.
Speaking to the media, Ferguson said: “Everybody’s got an opinion, I don’t care about people’s opinion, I know I can do the job. I know I’ve got a real good staff behind me… it doesn’t scare me one single bit.”
Recruitment a Priority
Beyond the managerial search, recruitment is expected to be a major focus of the 49ers’ strategy.
With a fresh era beginning at Ibrox, attracting young, high-potential talent will be essential—and it looks like the club’s first signing could come from the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain.
Rangers Closing in on PSG Talent Oumar Camara
According to Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport, Rangers are set to sign 18-year-old Oumar Camara from PSG.
The forward, known for his versatility, has reportedly been persuaded by the vision presented by Rangers and the 49ers.
Camara captained PSG’s U19 team this season and impressed with nine goals and four assists in 25 appearances.
Although he has yet to break into PSG’s senior side, Camara is now prepared to seek first-team football elsewhere, with Glasgow likely to be his next destination.
His ability to play on either wing adds tactical flexibility, but it remains to be seen whether he will make an immediate impact in the first team or serve as a longer-term project.
This potential signing could be the first indicator of how the 49ers plan to rebuild Rangers—focusing on youth, potential, and a clearly defined project.
If successful, Camara’s move may mark the beginning of a transformative period for the club as it looks to reclaim its former glory.
