The 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh have already swung the axe at Rangers.

The American investors took control of the Ibrox outfit on Friday (30 May) as their deal to purchase a 51 per cent stake was completed.

They face a tough task to overhaul the Gers this summer, starting with appointing a new manager, with Russell Martin confirmed as the man to succeed Barry Ferguson.

There is also work to be done behind the scenes to get the Govan club up to scratch and ready to compete with arch-rivals Celtic.

49ers have huge job at Rangers this summer

The new majority owners have a huge task to fix the Gers' problems, and it may not be possible to do it in a single summer.

They have sorted the new manager, with Martin appointed, so work on potential transfers can now begin, as they can find players that fit his system.

Rangers were miles behind the champions.

The likes of Mohamed Diomande and Nico Raskin are expected to attract significant interest from the Premier League, and it may be hard to keep hold of them after their standout performances in the Scottish Premiership.

The squad is in need of major surgery, with the likes of Philippe Clement and Ferguson unable to bridge the gap to Brendan Rodgers' side in the domestic game.

It should be an exciting summer for Light Blues supporters, though and the changes that are being made to the sporting structure should set the team up for future success.

The Americans have proven to be shrewd operators at Leeds United, and the hope is that they can do the same for the Bears and take them back to the top of the Scottish game once again.
