Rangers grabbed headlines again after succumbing to an embarrassing 2-0 defeat against Hibernian at Ibrox on Saturday.
Barry Ferguson suffered his third straight home defeat as the Rangers manager against Hibernian on 5 April, with goals from Dylan Levitt and Martin Boyle adding to his woes.The interim manager will be determined to repair his reputation when the Gers host Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final tie on Thursday, 10 April.
With a lot happening on and off the pitch, there is a lot being said about Rangers, and here Ibrox News rounds up the latest news from Monday, 7 April.Rangers are on the verge of a takeover by a US consortium, including healthcare tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe of 49ers Enterprises.It is only a matter of time before the agreement is rubber-stamped, but Bill Leckie has insisted that fans walking out of Ibrox during the Gers’ 2-0 loss against Hibernian will reduce the valuation of the deal.
“While back at Ibrox, all their fifth home defeat on the spin reminds the board is that with every seat that tips up and every pair of feet stomping early for the exits, another tenner drops off the value of the deal they’re doing with the 49ers crew; tenners that the people whose dosh has propped Rangers up for a long time now simply can’t afford to lose”, he wrote in his column on The Sun‘s website (6 April).
