New Ownership
The new ownership consortium, led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, has acquired a majority stake in Rangers. The club’s first priority is to appoint a permanent manager for the next season, and signing key players like Touré would be crucial in building a strong team.
Conclusion
