Rangers are in the midst of takeover chat with 49ers Enterprises.

Red Bull could soon factor into the Rangers takeover by 49ers Enterprises, it has been claimed.

The investment wing of the San Francisco 49ers NFL franchise are closing in on a deal to become powerbrokers at Ibrox, alongside US health tycoon Andrew Cavenagh. A deal is expected to be tied up before the end of the season, with English Championship side Leeds United already under the control of the American-based investors.

A key investor in the group are Red Bull, who’s logo is adorned on the Leeds United shirt. They could soon make their way to Ibrox too as the Daily Express claim that the 49ers are looking to broker a record breaking deal to make Red Bull prominent in Govan.

Red Bull could become Rangers players

It’s stated: “One other thing set to change is the shirt sponsor. Insiders expect the club will soon have the Red Bull logo on shirts, which will not be a huge surprise given the fact the energy drink giant is a major investor in 49ers Enterprises. It is no coincide new Rangers director of football Kevin Thelwell has worked at New York Red Bull in the MLS and the company already sponsors Leeds United, another club owned by the 49ers. One source said any arrangement with Red Bull would be a “record commercial deal” for a Scottish club and the new owners are willing to buy out current deals to pave the way.”

Increasing the capacity at Ibrox to tap into a major opportunity they see in the Rangers fanbase is also on 49ers minds. The report adds: “It is understood the consortium will explore avenues to increase the capacity of Ibrox.
