The startling approach from the San Francisco 49ers in the Rangers takeover talks is at the “advanced stage.”

According to the Daily Record, top-level talks over a multi-million-pound investment

started before the year and are now thought to be at “an advanced stage.”

Rangers are at the center of a potentially game-changing US-led takeover bid,

which would see them financed by the massive financial might of the San Francisco 49ers.

If an agreement can be reached, the Ibrox club stands to gain a significant cash infusion that

would then fund a summer transfer spree.

According to reports, he is currently a member of a group that aims to put Rangers back at the top

of the Scottish league after years of lagging behind Old Firm rivals Celtic.

The group also includes at least one other wealthy American business magnate.

In addition to demanding seats in a redesigned boardroom, the American consortium intends to

acquire enough shares to become the club’s largest stakeholder. Although the specifics of the move are still unclear,

any transaction will be challenging given the current makeup of the big shareholders.

Former chairman Dave King owns over 13%, Douglas Park keeps almost 12%,

and George Taylor owns slightly more than 10%. Gibson, Stuart.
