While they recorded record core revenue of £88.3 million, the club’s high operating costs, totaling £110 million—of which £61 million went to staff wages—remain a significant concern. This has sparked intense debate over the future direction of the club, with many questioning whether short-term solutions or drastic changes are needed.
Former player Craig Moore has voiced his belief that Rangers need new ownership to address these financial issues effectively, rather than relying on “stop-gap” investments. Speaking on Go Radio, Moore argued that while additional investment in the January transfer window might provide temporary relief, it won’t solve the deeper structural issues at Ibrox. He stressed the importance of bringing in an owner with a long-term vision who can focus on building infrastructure and ensuring the club’s future stability.
Interim chairman John Gilligan has hinted that the board is open to new investment, but Moore’s comments underline the need for more than just financial injections. He believes the club requires a strategic overhaul to compete both domestically and internationally over the next 15 to 20 years.
