According to a top financial analyst, Rangers will “scale-up” both on and off the field once the 49ers-led takeover is finalized.
As the Ibrox team looks to break the soon-to-come record of witnessing rivals Celtic win 14 of the previous league titles in Scottish football, the NFL giants and Andrew Cavenagh want to be in control before the upcoming season.
With interim manager Barry Ferguson eager to stay past his contract, which expires at the end of the season, there is intrigue surrounding what will happen next on and off the field.
Additionally, financial analyst Dan Plumley has taken notice of a recent connection to Arsenal’s highly regarded Jason Ayton, who is currently the Gunners’ interim sporting director.
With Celtic aiming for another clean sweep and Ferguson and company reeling from five straight Ibrox losses, the new era seeks to revitalize a Rangers team that is in the domestic doldrums.
However, Plumley believes a significant shift is coming. “It does show ambition,” he stated in an interview with Ibrox News.

It is a scale-up in every way, so it sort of goes with the territory with this takeover.
“As I say, it’s a big and brave move, and from what we can see, Mikel Arteta is well-respected at Arsenal. He is a fan, and there’s no indication that they want to let him go.
He is that type of high-profile signing in that field, and we know that the position of sporting director is becoming more and more sought-after in the business. “You’ve also got a bit of a merry-go-round in English football, with Everton and Crystal Palace looking for new directors. His name has been mentioned a few times now.
“If Rangers make that kind of appointment, it shows they have big plans.”
