Rangers Set for Summer Overhaul as 49ers Enterprises Prepare to Back Six New Signings

Rangers are preparing for a major summer rebuild, with 49ers Enterprises ready to inject significant funds into the squad in an effort to close the gap on Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic, sources have revealed to Football Insider.

The Ibrox side managed to cling to slim title hopes thanks to a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser from Ianis Hagi at Pittodrie on Sunday, denying Celtic the chance to seal the league with five games remaining. But with Rangers now trailing their Old Firm rivals by 15 points and holding a significantly inferior goal difference, any realistic shot at reclaiming the title this season is all but gone.

Plans are already in motion for a transformative summer under the incoming ownership of 49ers Enterprises. According to sources close to the club, the American investment group intends to back the arrival of at least six new signings to kickstart a new era at Ibrox.

Permanent Deals for Loan Stars on the Table

With several players currently on loan, including Vaclav Cerny, Rafael Fernandes, and Oscar Cortes, Rangers are expected to push for permanent deals—particularly prioritising a move for Wolfsburg winger Cerny, who has been one of the standout performers this season.

It remains to be seen whether these loan deals will be included within the six new signings or come in addition to them, but the intention from 49ers Enterprises is clear: build a squad capable of matching Celtic stride for stride next season.

Managerial Decision Looms

Before any transfer business can truly ramp up, a decision must be made on the managerial front. Rangers legend Barry Ferguson is currently in interim charge, but Football Insider has reported that he is unlikely to be offered the role on a permanent basis.

Once a new manager is appointed, 49ers Enterprises are expected to provide immediate financial backing in the transfer market, with an emphasis on high-impact signings. The goal is to not just add depth, but to bring in players who can change the course of a season.

Eyeing Ambitious Moves

The American owners understand the scale of the challenge ahead. Bridging the gap to Celtic will require bold moves—both in management and recruitment. Speculation has even emerged over potential interest in prising Scotland international Greg Taylor away from Parkhead, a move that would certainly send shockwaves through Scottish football.

For Rangers supporters, this summer represents a turning point. With new investment, a new manager, and a squad refresh on the cards, the pressure is on for the club to hit the ground running.

49ers Enterprises have made their intentions clear: the days of settling for second are numbered.
