There was a boost for Rangers with Steven Gerrard as coach, but after the Liverpool legend made his way to the Premier League at the first and best opportunity in 2021, Celtic took back control of the Scottish league. Now a change of ownership is announced that will change this.

We have seen at clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United that new owners who are used to seeing themselves as the centre of the universe do not necessarily provide a sporting boost, but in the case of Rangers and Scottish football, it can have a different effect. According to The Glasgow Times, there is now a takeover of ownership at Rangers.

The Scottish media reports that the investment group behind the San Francisco 49ers is in the process of buying the traditional club. These are the investors who also own Leeds United, so there is a logic to the acquisition.

Talks and negotiations are said to have been going on for a long time, the club itself will not confirm or deny.
