Andrew Cavenagh pushed the button on Rangers takeover after undercover spying mission on the Copland Road
It was after this spying mission that Cavenagh opened the talks which would lead to his successful takeover in May of this year Andrew Cavenagh decided to push the button on his multi-million pound buy out of Rangers after going deep undercover to mingle with match day punters in the Copland Road stand. The health insurance tycoon made the secret trip to Glasgow on November 23 last year, battling through a snow storm to buy a ticket for a 1-1 draw with Dundee United. And it was after this spying mission that the American businessman opened the talks which would lead to his successful takeover in May of this year, along with his backers from the San Francisco 49ers The story of Cavenagh 's first ever trip to Ibrox has been revealed by Paul Murray in part of an in depth exclusive interview with our groundbreaking Hotline Live show, which is available to view online. And Murray, who helped Cavenagh and his consortium pull the deal together from the inside, has told how he knew the Americans were destined to take control from the moment the main man turned down a VIP seat in the directors' box to sit among the fans instead. Murray revealed: 'I met Andrew for the first time on a Zoom call in October last year, so nine months ago. We had a bit of a chat - nice guy - and he was then coming to London a week later. 'So I flew down to London and had lunch with him in central London. We had a really good chat. 'He didn't actually mention the 49ers at that time but he was actually with a guy from Leeds so I kind of figured out that there was something else maybe going on. 'We had a really good chat and my first impressions were, 'Really nice guy, very easy to talk to,'. 'As we've been discussing, over the last 20 years I've met a lot of people who want to invest in Rangers and who come forward - I think we all know some of the people we've just been mentioning! 'Andrew was different. You just got a sense immediately this guy is, first of all, he's a very successful businessman in his own right. A very serious guy but also a nice guy and also engaged. 'I talked him through the history of the club, the last 15 years and some of the things that had happened. You could tell he was really engaged. He obviously knew a lot of the things we were talking about. 'As it happened, because the guy was there from Leeds, I did take the opportunity of mentioning the Battle of Britain from 30 years ago which they were quite amused by. 'I said, 'That shows you where Rangers were 30 years ago. Before the English Premier League came into existence, we were, if not the biggest club in Britain, certainly one of the biggest clubs in Britain,'. So they were actually quite interested in that. 'I think the two things which really struck me about Andrew that day were, first of all he was really engaged and obviously really interested in what I was saying but also we were playing a game against Hearts at Ibrox a couple of days later on the Sunday. 'He actually said to me, 'I think I'll just fly up to Ibrox and go to the game,'. 'I asked if he wanted me to try to speak with someone and he said, 'No, I'll just get a ticket and I'll just go,'. 'As it turned out, for various reasons he wasn't able to go as he had some family stuff on but he then contacted me about a week later and said he wanted to go to the Dundee United game, which was in the middle of November. 'Again, I asked if he wanted me to help and he said, 'No, I'll just go and get a ticket - a normal ticket for any area of the ground,'. I think he actually went into the Copland Stand. 'But I thought that was quite interesting. A guy with that wealth and he just thought, 'I'm going to buy a ticket,'. 'He flew up to Glasgow, bought a ticket on his own. He went with a couple of other guys and you might remember it was a really bizarre game because it was meant to be a three o'clock kick-off on the Saturday and it was really bad weather. 'It was the middle of November but there were snow drifts and crazy weather to the point that Dundee United couldn't get down the A9. 'He actually contacted me to say, 'When does the game start?'. 'I said, 'I've just looked and apparently it's been delayed until four o'clock!'. 'So it was a really weird day and Andrew was basically walking about the stadium, looking at the stands and nobody knew who this guy was. 'I thought it was actually really interesting that a guy like that would take the time - because normally these guys want to go to the directors box as VIPs - but this guy was prepared to put on his work clothes if you like and just go and look at it. 'The other thing that happened that day was there were quite a lot of fan protests as well as having the snow drifts to contend with. But it obviously didn't put him off.' Now, a decade after helping Dave King take control of Ibrox in a boardroom purge, Murray believes his club has been passed into the best possible hands. He said: 'There are no guarantees. But I'm hugely excited. 'I spent a good bit of time with Andrew in the early days - I don't know Paraag just as well but we did have a couple of meetings - and I think these guys are going to be great for the club. 'I think, in a funny kind of way, the fact that they are not Rangers fans is a good thing because we've had Rangers fans on the board for a long time and it is difficult. 'It's hard to convey when you are a fan but you are also on the board as a custodian, you feel the weight of expectation on your shoulders. 'In fact, my very last game on the board of directors was just before Steven Gerrard came, when we lost 5-0 at Celtic Park and Celtic won the league. 'I remember leaving that day and I was actually finished. I just had to resign because I was emotionally spent. You sit there as a fan and as a director and it's hard to take. 'These guys are clearly going to be invested in the club from an emotional point of view but they are a bit more detached. And that gives them more objectivity which is a good thing. 'I don't know Paraag as well as Andrew but I think they are quite a complimentary duo and it's maybe this east coast west coast thing. Andrew is obviously from Philadelphia and I think Paraag is from California. 'So they have slightly different styles and backgrounds but I think they are quite complementary.'

Celtic transfer panic gauged by the Jury as title crowns dished out early with new season approaching
Rangers, Hibs and Dundee United all enjoyed big results to keep Euro hopes alive but questions being asked over at Celtic Are the alarm bells ringing at Celtic after Thursday's Ajax thumping? CRAIG SWAN: Brendan Rodgers is making it crystal clear he needs his top targets in the door. If that's not happening, alarm bells will indeed ring amongst fans. FRASER WILSON: It was a bit of a surprise given how comfortable they looked against Newcastle five days earlier. But while it's not quite alarm bells it should certainly be a wake-up call to those in charge of recruitment that, if they want another good run in the Champions League, they need to bring in more quality. MICHAEL GANNON: There's no need to panic in pre-season but punters can be concerned. Celtic have a pile of money but Brendan Rodgers's squad is well short a week before the big kick-off. They need to get their skates on with new signings. Will Rangers finish the job against Panathinaikos in Greece? CRAIG SWAN: Russell Martin's team have given themselves a superb platform. The key will be a solid first half-hour in Athens. Get through that and get through the tie. FRASER WILSON: Get a goal, preferably the first, and it's job done. Tuesday's result was a fantastic result for Russell Martin. They need to keep the backdoor closed in Athens and that might require a more pragmatic approach. But I fancy them to get through. MICHAEL GANNON: The tie is certainly not over as the first half the other night showed the Greeks can be dangerous. But playing on the counter might suit Gers and you'd fancy them to score out then and end the tie. Progress would be a superb achievement at this stage of the rebuild. Can Hibs and Dundee United seal the deal in their Euro ties? CRAIG SWAN: Fingers crossed for both sides. Both teams have done good work to the halfway mark, but there is more to be done. Let's say yes. FRASER WILSON: A great result for Hibs in Denmark. They have a strong squad and with another big performance at home should secure a memorable victory. United have made life a little uncomfortable for themselves with a slender 1-0 lead heading to Luxembourg. Hopefully it focuses the mind and the job can be finished with minimum fuss. MICHAEL GANNON: it was a superb result for Hibs but it won't be straightforward in the return. They'll need to play out of their skins again but they can see it out. United should have been more comfortable and it'll be an awkward night. They should have enough though. The new season kicks off this week, who will finish top in all four divisions? CRAIG SWAN: Celtic. St Johnstone. Inverness. East Kilbride. FRASER WILSON: Celtic to make it five in a row but with a far greater fight from Rangers. You could throw a blanket over half the Championship but I go for Ross County. Inverness to claw five points back and win League One. And East Kilbride to storm to the League Two title. MICHAEL GANNON: Celtic need reinforcements but should still be too strong with Rangers regrouping this term. Neil Lennon will take Dunfermline out of the Championship, Inverness Caley Thistle will bounce back in League One while East Kilbride could continue their rise in League Two.

Motherwell are ready for Rangers, says midfield ace
Callum Slattery says the Steelmen are as prepared as they can be Callum Slattery says Motherwell are ready for the start of the Premiership season, and are eager to get going in their opener against Rangers. Slattery set up Apostolos Stamatelopoulos' equaliser in the 1-1 draw at home to 2 Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on Friday night in what he says was a testing game. But the midfielder reckons coming up against the German cracks showed how to deal with challenging periods in games when Motherwell won't have the ball. Slattery, 26, said: 'I think we're as prepared as we can be and we're ready. 'We feel like we've got better in each game and showing what the manager wants. I feel like after the cup games that tonight's friendly was real test for us, in terms of how we want to play, and what games are going to be like when it is tough for periods. 'We're really excited for the start of the season and I think we're in a good spot. 'It was good to play in, a really tough test for us, and they're a very fantastic side. 'We knew, going into the game, that they were going to be good, and that it would be a good test for us. 'I think it was, to be honest, I think it was a really good game. The atmosphere and the football played was brilliant.' Slattery added: 'I'd say it was a similar test in terms of the football played, them playing out from the back and causing us a few problems here and there – but that's what we're going to probably face against Rangers. 'They're a good side. They strung some passes together and caused us some problems at times, but I thought the lads were brilliant. 'I thought we held a good account of ourselves and it was a really good game.' Slattery hopes to forge a fruitful partnership with Australian striker Stamatelopoulos, and wants to enjoy his football. He said: 'I was really pleased [to set up the goal]. Since the start of the season me and him, I've said I'll try to put him in as much as I can so he can get the goals. 'He was in the right area and I managed to put it in, so I'm really pleased. 'It's the start of a new season, the injury [last year] is way behind me now. I managed to get a good run at the end of last season, but this is a new season and I just want to play my football and enjoy it.'
