Rangers outside investment on the cards as Americans eye deal
Keith Jackson has shared that he knows that there are American investors “monitoring” the European market with Rangers mooted as a potential avenue that they could explore.
The Gers are currently on the hunt for a new chairman after the sudden resignation of John Bennett last week.
The club haven’t been through the best of times in terms of ownership in recent seasons and need someone reliable to come through the doors.
Speaking on the Daily Record’s Hotline live (16 September), Jackson shared that Rangers are “ready-made” for an American investor.
“I do know that there are groups of potential investors in America and other countries who are constantly monitoring the European market,” Jackson said.
“[They’re] constantly looking for clubs who might get them access into the Champions League or access into high-level European football.
“Rangers are ready-made for that. It wouldn’t take a lot because let’s get it right, if you’re competing in Scotland and you’re Celtic or Rangers, if you’re not qualifying for Europe each year then it’s an absolute disaster.”
Rangers need to find a new chairman as soon as possible
Rangers are quite an interesting case. The club are one of the best teams in Scotland but seem to constantly be outdone by arch-rivals Celtic of late.

Especially since Steven Gerrard left, the club have found themselves in the Bhoys’ shadow more often than not, aside from when they managed to reach the Europa League final, of course.
The fact that Bennett resigned from his role threw yet another spanner in the works while the club were already under fire for their 2024/25 performances.
The return of Dave King has been rumoured with the former Gers chairman himself saying he’d be open to a return [talkSPORT, 16 September, 12:05].

Dave King could return as Rangers chairman to succeed John Bennett
Most fans don’t want to see their former chairman in the hotseat after the sorry state he left the club in when he was last in charge.
However, there are the odd few who believe King would bring success back to Ibrox due to his previous performance.
Only time will tell what will happen at Rangers but one thing is for sure, if their situation isn’t sorted soon, the club will find themselves in a rather rocky situation.
