New Rangers owners promise £20m investment after completing takeover
Rangers' new American owners have promised a £20million injection into the football side of the Ibrox club after completing their takeover. The Glasgow club announced that a consortium of investors, led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, has purchased a majority stake in the club. The new leadership now owns 51 per cent of Rangers following a number of share purchases and has committed to invest £20million into the club, the vast majority to be spent on players. This funding will come in the form of a new share issue, subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting on June 23. The club is also set to move from being a public limited company to private. Healthcare executive Cavenagh will become chairman, while Paraag Marathe, who is chairman of Leeds and president of 49ers Enterprises, becomes vice-chairman. Rangers say the Scottish Football Association approved the deal late on Thursday night after the club sought consent over dual ownership issues. Sports investment firm 49ers Enterprises owns a majority stake in Leeds. A similar investment into Hibernian involving the Black Knights, the consortium that owns Bournemouth, was subject to SFA requirements that the stake in the Easter Road club did not exceed 30 per cent. The deal will allow Rangers to step up their recruitment of a new manager with outgoing Real Madrid assistant manager Davide Ancelotti the front-runner, but no movement is expected until next week. Cavenagh said: 'We are deeply grateful for the trust placed in us by the Rangers board, shareholders, staff, and supporters. 'This club's history and traditions speak for themselves, but history doesn't win matches. 'We know that the true way to honour the club's heritage will be to drive performance. 'Our focus is simple: elevate performance, deliver results, and bring Rangers back to where it belongs – at the top.' Marathe added: 'At 49ers Enterprises, we have built a track record of sporting and business success, but our driving motivation is our deep connection to the clubs and communities we serve. 'We are excited to join Andrew and our other consortium of investors in a new era for this iconic club, and we are determined to build something that supporters can be proud of for years to come.' Three other United States-based directors, Mark Taber, Andrew Clayton, and Gene Schneur, will join Cavenagh and Marathe as new members of the board. Chief executive Patrick Stewart, outgoing chairman Fraser Thornton, John Halsted and George Taylor will remain on the board while Graeme Park, Julian Wolhardt, and Alastair Johnston are stepping down. Stewart said: 'From my earliest conversations with Paraag and Andrew, I have been excited and confident in the shared vision and what it could mean for the future of Rangers. 'Our focus now is on the hard work ahead, preparing thoroughly for the new season, appointing the right men's head coach, and ensuring we have the structures in place to support success on the pitch.' Thornton added: 'The incoming shareholders bring not only funding but also deep expertise in strategic planning, infrastructure development, and sporting excellence.'

India's economy grew by 7.4% in the period between January and March - up from 6.2% the previous quarter and significantly beating analyst expectations. However, growth for full 2024-25 year, which runs between April and March, is pegged at 6.5% - the slowest in four years. The country's central bank - the Reserve Bank of India - meets later in June and is expected to cut rates for the third time in a row to boost remains the world's fastest growing major economy, although growth has sharply dropped from the 9.2% high recorded in financial year 2023-24. Asia's third-largest economy benefitted from strong growth in farm activity, steady public spending and improved rural demand in the last financial year, even as manufacturing and new investments by private companies remained weak. While rural growth has improved on account of a strong winter harvest it is not nearly enough to offset continuing weakness in urban consumption, which has flagged due to high unemployment and lower growth engine remains heavily dependent on the government's infrastructure spending on roads, ports and highways, in the absence of significant growth in private investment. Going forward, lower food inflation and oil prices as well as the pre-arrival of the monsoon and above average rainfall could boost crop prospects and help India's farm sector, according to growth should also benefit from government's income tax cuts announced in the federal budget, as well as "monetary easing, expectations of an above normal monsoon and lower food inflation", Aditi Nayar, an economist with the ratings agency Icra, said. But ongoing global uncertainties, including US President Donald Trump's trade war, are expected to weigh on export is currently negotiating a trade-agreement with the United States which is officially expected to conclude by fall. Trump slapped tariffs of up to 27% on Indian goods in April – and a 90-day pause on these ends on 9 expect GDP growth in the ongoing financial year 2025-26 to further slow to 6% on the back of these global slowdown worries which could delay new private capital spending on projects. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects global growth to drop to 2.8% in 2025 and 3% in from Icra earlier showed private sector expenditure, as part of overall investments in India's economy, fell to a 10-year low of 33% in the last financial foreign direct investment (FDI) into India – at $0.35bn in 2024-25 – also fell to the lowest level in two decades, as rising outward foreign investment and repatriations by Indian companies, neutralised inward Minister Narendra Modi's government has been attempting to position India as a manufacturing hub for global companies like Apple indicated recently that it was shifting most of its production of iPhones headed to the US from China to India, trade analysts have cautioned that such manufacturing investment could yet stall, with the US and China agreeing to roll-back tariffs earlier this month.
