RANGERS REBOOT;the impact of Philip Clement’s departure on the club’s future

John McGarry has speculated whether Rangers would become part of a breakaway league from UEFA in the future.

The Gers have been the centre of attention in Scottish Football over the last couple of days due to the takeover news that has emerged from the 49ers Enterprises.

The multi-billion brand have reportedly shown an interest in acquiring the Ibrox outfit who have been looking for investment for a good couple of years now.

While talks for the takeover have been reported to be concluded in the imminent future, nothing is yet set in stone but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from turning.

Rangers ‘always’ set to be part of any sort of talks about a UEFA breakaway league

The 49ers have worked wonders since taking over Leeds United in the summer of 2023 and adding yet another British club to their repertoire could be exactly what they need to take their investment in football to the next level.

While Leeds in itself is a massive club, the fact Rangers consistently compete in European competitions and have a massive fanbase is likely one of their main reasons behind showing an interest in the Ibrox outfit.

Which is why, McGarry, while writing for the print edition of the Daily Mail (20 February, page 78) has speculated that if any talks of a breakaway league from UEFA do emerge, a “huge” club such as Rangers will “always” be in the conversation, when he discussed what might be attractive about the Gers to the 49ers Enterprises.

“Even though the revamp of UEFA’s club competitions has screwed down the volume on talk of a breakaway European league, football never stands still,” he wrote.

“A huge club playing in a small country, Rangers will always be part of any discussion if the tectonic plates shift again.
