Looking Ahead: The Boss and the US Consortium Nearing Control at Ibrox
There’s a glimmer of hope for Barry Ferguson as optimism begins to surface at Ibrox amidst a challenging season.
The campaign, marred by construction issues and boardroom changes, is nearing its disappointing end, with Rangers, first under Philippe Clement and now an interim replacement, finishing trophy-less once again.
While Rangers have struggled, Celtic continues to dominate, heading towards their fourth consecutive Premiership title and gearing up for their final derby of the season against Rangers.
However, the anticipated takeover by the American consortium provides some hope for the Ibrox faithful, suggesting an end to a difficult period. The recent visit from the prospective new owners has ignited excitement among supporters, including Ferguson.
“It’s a thrilling prospect for all of us,” Ferguson stated. “The club has been craving external investment. It appears things are progressing well, and we’re just waiting for confirmation that everything is finalized.”
Ferguson briefly met with key figures from the takeover bid but focused on discussions with new sporting director Kevin Thelwell. While details were kept private, Ferguson expressed optimism regarding their talks and the future direction of the club.
With just a couple of weeks left in the season and the qualifications for the Champions League approaching, he emphasized the necessity for swift changes to revitalize the club. Rangers fans have every reason to feel hopeful amidst the prospect of new ownership and forthcoming transformations.
