We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Rangers...

Dan Plumley has insisted that Ibrox could be regenerated after Kyle Fox pledged £75million in additional capital investment in her push to take control at Rangers.

The Finance Expert admitted that capital investment can be used for infrastructure which is most likely, or it can be used to balance debt or invest in the playing squad.

The Daily Record reported that Fox has agreements in place to hoover up between 25% and 30% in shares and become the majority investor at the club, with Ibrox changes potentially on the way.

“The main three things you are always looking at with a level of capital commitment is restructuring debt or converting it to equity, you use it to do a balance sheet restructuring,” he exclusively told Ibrox News.

“You use it to fund activity in the transfer market, or you use it to build capital infrastructure development stuff so stadium and facilities. I think it’s been well reported that Ibrox is ready for a bit of an uplift so that could be a decent play if you were to go in and say in addition to the investment and they can really have a look at regenerating Ibrox, that’s a positive step.

“Of those three, that’s probably the most likely, but it could be used to pay off some of the debt attached to the other directors.”

This is something that Douglas Park and the Rangers board would surely be on board with.

Fox is pledging big money to the cause before even getting any deal over the line to become a majority shareholder, which hopefully shows her commitment to the cause.

We have the push to develop Edmiston House over recent months, with Ibrox potentially following suit in the years to come as Rangers look to kick on.
