Rangers surprise transfer ‘could be imminent’ after events at Leeds United
Rangers fans are looking forward to a bright future now that the club has new owners in place.
A US-based consortium led by 49ers Enterprises completed their takeover this summer, and they’ve already promised new manager Russell Martin a huge transfer war chest.
Now, given the events of the past 24 hours, supporters may well be expecting to welcome the first new signing of this new era imminently.
Rangers fans can expect surprise transfer announcements throughout the summer
The 49ers group are also owners at Leeds United.
They pulled off a surprise signing at Elland Road on Sunday (15 June), when Lukas Nmecha was announced as a Leeds player.
That announcement really came out of nowhere. There had been no media speculation. No public negotiations between Leeds and Nmecha’s former club VfL Wolfsburg.
All business was done quietly behind the scenes. That’s an ideal scenario for any club.
Following the interviews given by Andrew Cavenagh and other key figures at the 49ers group, Rangers fans can expect a similar scenario.
Now that they have seen evidence of the 49ers’ quiet negotiations in action, they could potentially expect a surprise transfer of their own to celebrate within the next few days.
Rangers fans can expect a busy transfer window
The leading figures at the 49ers group have spoken well since their takeover of Rangers was confirmed. Now it’s time to see action.
Rangers need a lot of new players in the door if they are to have a realistic hope of competing with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership next year. The sooner the first new signing is announced, the better.
| Position | Points |
| 1. Celtic | 92 |
| 2. Rangers | 75 |
The Gers have been linked with the likes of Conor Coady and Oumar Camara this summer. Yet, having witnessed what occurred at Elland Road over the weekend, fans might expect someone completely unexpected to be announced as Rangers’ first signing of the new era.
Some stars might be sold too, but the 49ers have shown great professionalism when it comes to making player sales at Leeds.
All in all, it’s an exciting time to be a Rangers fan. Right now, it feels like anything could happen.
One thing’s for sure; the supporters can expect to see a very different starting XI by the time the new season rolls around.
