The buzzing legendary Ibrox captain shared his excitement after our exclusive in his latest Record Sport column
I'm trying my best not to get carried away. But it’s difficult. Because, from the moment the Daily Record broke the news about the San Francisco 49ers and a possible Ibrox takeover, I’ve had the feeling that this might be the chance to Make Rangers Great Again.
It’s felt like very dark days for Rangers and their supporters. You’re constantly asking yourself, ‘How on earth are we ever going to be competitive again?’. And then all of a sudden this story drops out of the sky and the answer to the question is staring you right in the face. The discussions have now reached an advanced stage and, yes, that just builds this sense of excitement about what might be to come. When the Record broke the story I went straight onto my iPad to do a bit of my own research. I looked into the 49ers Enterprises - what they do, what they are trying to invest in and what they have already put into practice at Leeds United.
It does feel as if the club has been stuck in a rut for a long time now. It wasn’t that long ago that acting chairman John Gilligan came out and admitted the club needs fresh investment from the outside. The new chairman, Fraser Thornton, and the new chief executive, Patrick Stewart, have said much the same thing themselves since being appointed in December.
People might ask why an NFL club would be considering getting involved in Scottish football. But I’d take a different view.
