Rangers Takeover Drama: US Investor Set to Attend Old Firm as Paraag Marathe’s Future Hangs in the Balance!

May 2, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Rangers’ takeover by the 49ers Enterprises group is approaching its final stages, with a deal to purchase a controlling stake in the club expected to be completed by the summer. Recent “productive talks” and a tour of Ibrox by Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe indicate that the transition is well underway. However, doubts have emerged regarding Marathe’s role as the Old Firm clash against Celtic approaches. Reports suggest that while Cavenagh will be a regular presence at Ibrox next season, Marathe’s involvement may be less frequent due to his prominent role at Leeds United, who have just secured Premier League promotion.

Despite these potential changes, Rangers supporters need not worry. With trusted figures like Cavenagh and Gretar Steinsson, who has shown solid management experience at clubs like Tottenham and Everton, overseeing the club’s operations, Marathe’s reduced presence is unlikely to disrupt the team’s future. While there are pressing concerns, such as the future of interim manager Ferguson and potential player departures in the summer transfer window, the 49ers are set to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring that the club remains on course for success.

‘Nowhere Near Good Enough’: Award-Winning Rangers Star Under Fire as Craig Moore Delivers Scathing Attack!

April 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

When Rangers last won the league, almost any player in the starting XI could have been named player of the year. The team’s success was built on a collective effort, with even underappreciated players like Ianis Hagi contributing significantly. The defense, which set a record, went largely unrecognized, despite the vital roles of players like Connor Goldson. Fast forward to the current squad, and Nicolas Raskin is the only standout performer, with young Hamza Igamane showing promise for the future.

However, John Souttar, despite winning the John Greig achievement award, has drawn heavy criticism for his recent performances. Craig Moore didn’t hold back, describing Souttar’s display against St Mirren as “really poor” and emphasizing that even in games with little at stake, playing for Rangers means always being at your best. Moore’s frustration highlights a larger issue within the squad—aside from Raskin, no player has been consistent enough to challenge for player of the year. Rangers need multiple standout players to compete at the top level, but with defensive issues and errors from experienced players like Souttar, the team faces a long road ahead in their pursuit of another title.

Shock Rangers XI Revealed for St Mirren Clash: Bailey Rice Gets the Nod in Bold Attacking Overhaul

April 26, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With only five matches left and a manager set to depart, Rangers face a difficult end to the season. Motivation has been a struggle for the squad, and while pride is on the line, stringing together victories may only highlight the painful gap to Celtic, who remain comfortably ahead.

First up is a challenging trip to St Mirren, who have already beaten Rangers twice this season. Despite little left to play for in terms of European qualification, Stephen Robinson’s side is never an easy opponent, and a bruising encounter is expected.

Changes to the starting XI are anticipated. Jack Butland should return to goal to rebuild his confidence, while the 3-5-2 formation might be scrapped due to limited options in the full-back positions. In midfield, Bailey Rice deserves a run of games, alongside Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande. Up front, Vaclav Cerny should retain his spot, with Oscar Cortes given a chance to rediscover his form on the left. The decision between Hamza Igamane and Danilo for the central striker role is crucial, with Igamane showing promise as the season’s standout forward.
