49ers Enterprises Closing in on Rangers Takeover as Key Documents Set for March
49ers Enterprises have spent the early months of the year advancing negotiations for a takeover deal involving 49ers Rangers.
Paraag Marathe is expected to play a pivotal role in the process, with the 49ers aiming to finalize the acquisition within the coming months.
Despite Rangers’ fragmented ownership—featuring major shareholders such as Dave King and John Halsted—many within the club are eager to see the deal completed. The 49ers are targeting a controlling stake in the Ibrox side, which would be a favorable outcome for all involved.
Rangers Takeover Documents Expected in March
Since reports first emerged about the US consortium’s interest in acquiring Rangers, progress has been swift.
According to a new report from Chris Jack (28 February), the first draft of the takeover documents is expected to be presented to all relevant parties by mid-March.
However, given the scale of the deal and its potential impact on the club, the process cannot be rushed, with negotiations continuing between key stakeholders.
Dave King has already made his willingness to sell his shares clear, while John Bennett and Barry Scott are also open to selling their stakes.
Rangers Must Close the Gap on Celtic
The past few years have been difficult for Rangers, with Celtic maintaining dominance in the Scottish Premiership and widening the gap between the two clubs.
Currently trailing their Glasgow rivals by 13 points, Rangers have won four of their last five league matches, but Celtic remain firmly in control of the title race under Brendan Rodgers.
The potential takeover by 49ers Enterprises has sparked optimism among Rangers supporters, offering hope for a brighter future. Should the NFL-backed group take charge, fans will expect immediate investment in the squad to strengthen the team and improve results—something the Ibrox faithful undoubtedly deserve after enduring a challenging season.
