San Francisco 49ers appear to be setting the tone on what the summer transfer window will look like for Rangers.
It’s evident that, after Gers’ disastrous domestic campaign, they will need to spend big in the coming months.
Celtic will also be strengthening, so post-takeover, a lot of things need to go right at Ibrox for them to win the league.

49ers keen on £4m Metinho transfer
Despite the takeover not being rubber-stamped yet, it’s clear that the 49ers are already planning for next season.
They’ve even got desired transfer targets they’d look to bring to Ibrox in the coming months to give Gers the best chance of claiming the title.

Basil midfielder Metinho is understood to be at the top of the American’s consortium’s list of targets once they finalise the takeover, according to the Sun.

The gap between Celtic and Rangers is very big.
It’s understood that there are clubs in England keen on signing the 22-year-old who’s been dubbed the “Brazilian Pogba”.
However, Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers Enterprises want to beat the Championship clubs, which means that they would need to splash the cash as soon as possible to secure his services.

Rangers could see big-money arrivals this summer
The 49ers’ willingness to spend £4m on their first signing post-takeover at Rangers signals an ambitious intent that could herald a summer of big-money signings at Ibrox.
This initial investment, potentially targeting a high-profile player like a proven SPFL star or an international talent, reflects the financial muscle of the 49ers, who have a track record of strategic spending with Leeds United.
The new ownership appears ready to overhaul a squad that has struggled for consistency in 2024/25, aiming to close the gap on Celtic.
Such a bold opening move suggests Rangers could pursue marquee signings in key positions to make them a force to be reckoned with.
This approach would not only boost on-pitch performance but also elevate Rangers’ commercial appeal, aligning with the 49ers’ global vision.
If the £4million signing sets the tone, fans can expect a transformative transfer window, positioning Rangers as genuine title contenders in 2025/26.
