“If you can get back in the Champions League, it has an outsize impact.
“Given the other revenue streams and the very light domestic TV deal, if you can get into the Champions League and earn those Champions League revenues, it is going to be transformational for Rangers.
“It would also allow them to continue to compete with Celtic.
“While they are out of the Champions League, they are going to find it difficult because they are going to be £20-£40million behind in revenue and profit because a lot of this stuff goes straight to the bottom line.
“They are going to find themselves quite a long way behind financially for every year they are not in the Champions League.
“They need to get back into the Champions League and any new owner that can invest such that they achieve that is going to make a big difference.
“That’s got to be their big target.”
