Rangers set for ‘significant’ transfer spend in new takeover development
Andrew Cavenagh is already planning major upgrades once the Rangers takeover is finalised.
Currently, his lawyers are going through the paperwork before the agreement can be rubber-stamped.
The expectation is that it should be finalised in weeks and then changes can be implemented at the club.
San Francisco 49ers earmark significant money to spend on transfers
Gers are currently playing catch up to Celtic who have a better squad and are running away with the league yet again.
The new owners’ plan will be to not only bridge that gap, but to become Scotland’s best team again and win the 56th league title as soon as they can.
| Shareholder | Stake |
| Dave King | 12.96% |
| Douglas Park | 11.54% |
| George Taylor | 10.22% |
| Stuart Gibson | 9.53% |
| Julian Wolhardt | 9.53% |
| John Halsted | 9.53% |
| John Bennett | 7.11% |
For that, they will need to spend big money and it’s understood that they’re keen to hit the ground running.
The Daily Record reported on 24 March: “Cavenagh’s lawyers are still going through an extensive process of examining paperwork and rubber-stamping the agreement but it’s anticipated that a formal agreement could be signed off and concluded in the coming weeks.
“And that will allow Cavenagh’s American consortium time to get to work on improving both the squad and the club’s facilities ahead of the new season with a significant sum of money already earmarked to be spent over the summer.”
Rangers need a strategic overhaul in the summer transfer window
The new owners should focus on a strategic overhaul to close the gap with Celtic and reclaim dominance in Scottish football.
With significant funds earmarked by the San Francisco 49ers-backed consortium, the priority should be strengthening the squad’s core – targeting a prolific striker, a commanding centre-back and a creative midfielder.
These signings would address current weaknesses, as Celtic’s superior depth and quality have left Rangers trailing.
The approach should blend high-profile acquisitions with smart scouting.
They must invest in proven talent from leagues like the Eredivisie or Championship, while also unearthing undervalued gems from emerging markets.
Timing is critical and hopefully, things get finalised soon as it allows a proactive summer window.
Rangers should leverage the consortium’s financial muscle to outbid rivals, but also ensure signings align with a clear tactical vision, ideally under a manager like Barry Ferguson, who’s shown interim promise.
Upgrading facilities, such as the Auchenhowie training ground, will complement this by attracting top talent.
