I will not play again, Rangers key player

Firstly, because it represents Rangers snapping up one of the most exciting homegrown talents in the league from under the noses of rivals Aberdeen. And, secondly, because it adds another improving, ambitious youngster to a squad already containing Hamza Igamane, Jefte, Connor Barron and more.

Manager Philippe Clement highlights the goals Cameron should add to Rangers’ engine room, meanwhile. With eight so far this term for Dundee, the Scotland Under-21 international has more than Mohamed Diomande, Nico Raskin and Barron combined.

Rangers also allowed the likes of Kieran Dowell and Rabbi Matondo to go with an eye on giving the likes of Bailey Rice, Findlay Curtis and Paul Nsio a bigger role in the coming months. An audition, if you like, for a first-team role in 2025/26.

There is “broad agreement” between all parties, with current shareholders expected to sell all, or part, of their stake in the club in the coming months.

The prospective owners would acquire more than 50% of the Rangers shares while taking on the debt, much of it owed to former chairman John Bennett.

Paraag Marathe, the Leeds United chairman and the force behind 49ers Investments, the investment wing of the 49ers NFL franchise, is a key player in the Rangers takeover.

He has been described by a source familiar with the negotiations as “front and centre”, but there is an as-yet-unnamed investor who is said to be as influential in the deal as Marathe.

It is understood that Dave King, the largest individual shareholder in the club, is supportive of the takeover.

The South Africa-based businessman spoke last year about how he believed “investor fatigue” had set in at the Scottish Premiership club.

While other members of the board have not seen eye to eye with King on many issues in the recent past, there appears to be general agreement on the need for new energy and new money at the club.
