“Rangers Takeover: SHOCKING Legal Twist THREATENS Multi-Million Deal!”

Andrew Cavenagh and his U.S.-based consortium are eager to wrap up their takeover of Rangers in the near future.

Reports suggest that Cavenagh, in partnership with the San Francisco 49ers’ investment arm, 49ers Enterprises, is set to acquire a majority share in the Ibrox club, reshaping the existing boardroom setup.

Several key shareholders, including Dave King, are reportedly willing to offload significant portions of their holdings to facilitate this shift. The deal could receive legal clearance as early as the end of April.

According to the Daily Record on March 31, the intricate takeover process is on track to be finalized before April’s end, with bureaucratic hurdles expected to be cleared around that time.

This timeline aligns with a planned fan meeting featuring Patrick Stewart, the club’s CEO, offering an opportunity to outline the transition.

Once the agreement is officially ratified, Cavenagh and the 49ers-led group intend to act quickly, cementing their 51 percent controlling interest and establishing a revamped boardroom structure.

With the takeover secured, Stewart’s immediate focus will shift to appointing a sporting director to manage football operations—a process already in motion.

The managerial situation, currently under interim boss Barry Ferguson, will also require a permanent solution ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Beyond personnel changes, Cavenagh has ambitious plans to upgrade the Auchenhowie training complex, aiming to modernize facilities and enhance player development.

Engaging with supporters will be a cornerstone of this new chapter. Stewart’s late-April discussion with fans is poised to lay the groundwork for a transparent relationship, aligning the club’s direction with the expectations of its passionate base.

This marks the beginning of a significant transformation for Rangers under its incoming American ownership.
