“Rangers Set to Smash Records with MEGA US Consortium Takeover and JAW-DROPPING Commercial Deal!”
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises set to reshape Rangers with major Red Bull deal in the works.
The US consortium is edging closer to completing their takeover at Ibrox, with Rangers fans eagerly awaiting substantial investment to address the club’s current struggles.
Outgoing Everton director Kevin Thelwell is expected to join Rangers next summer as part of the Americans’ plans to reshape the boardroom structure.
With financial difficulties plaguing the Glaswegian side in recent years, the incoming owners could soon inject much-needed funds into the club.
Red Bull poised to sponsor Rangers
According to the Scottish Daily Express (27 April), Red Bull are in line to become the Bears’ new shirt sponsors once the takeover is finalized.
It’s reported that seeing the energy drink giant’s logo on Rangers kits would not come as a surprise, given Red Bull’s significant ties to 49ers Enterprises, one of the key players behind the consortium.
A source close to the negotiations claims that the deal with Red Bull would represent a “record commercial deal” for any Scottish club.
The prospective new owners are even prepared to buy out existing sponsorship agreements to push the deal through.
Red Bull already sponsors Leeds United, and Thelwell’s upcoming appointment could be strategic, considering his past involvement with New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer.
49ers Enterprises aim to revolutionise Rangers
Gretar Steinsson, another important figure in the restructuring process, is expected to lead the search for a new manager at Ibrox.
Steven Gerrard has been linked with a return, but it’s uncertain whether he would be interested after less successful spells at Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq.
Meanwhile, Barry Ferguson, currently involved at the club, may hope to remain beyond this season, though a disappointing draw against St Mirren on Saturday (26 April) won’t have strengthened his case.
Rangers have endured a turbulent period, winning only one league title over the past 14 years.
Gerrard, during his previous spell, was the last manager to secure the Scottish Premiership title for the club.
Since his departure, successive managers have struggled to mount a serious challenge against Celtic’s dominance.
If the US consortium is serious about restoring Rangers’ status and challenging their Old Firm rivals, significant squad investment will be necessary this summer.
The anticipated Red Bull sponsorship could provide a vital financial boost, raising hopes among supporters that the Light Blues will finally be able to compete with Celtic at the top once more.
