Alongside the fakeover a new deflector has emerged to give Ibrox fans a warm glow over the successes that lie ahead next season. Red Bull rather than blue.
All of the dud players will volunteer to give up their lucrative contracts to be replaced my first-team ready winners, a top management team will be brought in backed up by the finest brains in recruitment, sports science, marketing and communications.
This will all be in place ahead of the second round Champions League qualifier in July.
Since the Daily Record delivered their WORLD EXCLUSIVE on February 19 it has been non-stop good news for bears to distract them away from Celtic’s 55th title and a possible sixth treble in nine seasons.
Nothing has actually happened, there are three weekends left in the season but over the close season everything is going to change for the better.
On Sunday a fantasy about Red Bull taking on shirt sponsorship surfaced, other publishers were quickly sharing it, the source being a lengthy wish list in the Scottish Daily Express.
Douglas Dickie, content editor, is behind the story, his track record on football exclusives is unknown but that shouldn’t get in the way of another feel-good story to comfort the bears. His Twitter account is 95% related to the pain and misery of being an Ibrox fan.
One other thing set to change is the shirt sponsor. Insiders expect the club will soon have the Red Bull logo on shirts, which will not be a huge surprise given the fact the energy drink giant is a major investor in 49ers Enterprises.
It is no coincide new Rangers director of football Kevin Thelwell has worked at New York Red Bull in the MLS and the company already sponsors Leeds United, another club owned by the 49ers. One source said any arrangement with Red Bull would be a “record commercial deal” for a Scottish club and the new owners are willing to buy out current deals to pave the way.
Unibet will continue to be next season’s shirt sponsor, the shirt will have the Umbro diamond pressed onto it with James Tavernier continuing to wear the captains armband.
Jack Butland, Cyriel Dessers and Danilo remain on long term contracts.
Red Bull to be front and centre at Rangers and Steven Gerrard ‘most likely’ the next manager ?https://t.co/5w09Wl8pdO pic.twitter.com/INt5aVSO3l

Rangers have agreed a new front of shirt deal with Red Bull. 10 year contract, £45 million per year with the payments completely frontloaded to fund the warchest.
I’ve researched Red Bull and apparently it’s a caffeinated energy drink which is pretty disappointing but they are…

That’s a belter £45 million a year sponsorship deal with Red Bull aye then they can fly to the moon and back remember it gives you wings.
Never heard so much RED BULLSHIT in my life.
The article James firrest put out yesterday on the Celtic blog was a belter,quotes from Jackass Jackson about the FAKEOVER all falling apart,with some other quotes from another article written in The Guardian yesterday by a journalist who has no dog in this fight telling sevco fans to read up on what’s happening just now at Leeds regarding finances and the trouble they are in with backing from the SF49s.
Red Bullshit Joker – Ha Ha very good that one buddy !
Not very often they so publically admit being Sevco fans for sure like this one has done…
Maybe he doesn’t like Clyde any more because of the Fergushun connection –
What’s wrong with Queens Park then – They must be gazbrilliant if they beat Sevco !
No one does gullible like a “gullibilly”..if one of them said santa was real they’d believe it. “Santa to invest pyooor mullions “. Sorry I’ll get my coat
Don’t forget ‘ Norn Iron Taters ‘ as a major sponsor … delicious crisps !
Its taken Celtic over 2 decades of proper club mgt, fiscal responsibility, a transfer policy to rival the best, continued success, the largest ticket income, no debt, great sponsorship deals and regular enough CL money….to manage to have about 70m in the bank.
Over 20 yrs and a bank balance of 70m odd.
And thats doing everything absolutely right.
And still, the often stupid but permanently bewildered over in Govan still think its as simple as someone walking in and putting 200m on the table and Red Bull putting 45m a yr in sponsorship to a lge that has fuck all money to be made in it unless you graft like mad.
There can be no serious businessman or men or group that once they do due diligence would even consider buying a ticket for a game never mind putting their hard earned into the black hole of debt that is Sevco.
And that’s before u even start looking at the other baggage that follows them everywhere, they would only damage a brand.
I just don’t believe it, I refuse to believe it, cos it makes no sense whatsoever.
Dickie by name, dickie by nature.
So the new (genius) owners will sign a “new record shirt deal” and then pay off a current shirt company’s deal… bullshite !!!
HH
Yes, I did notice that “Red Bull” was just randomly dropped into the sevco ‘takeover’ nonsense coverage.
It’s a good one though: RB are involved with several clubs in Europe,
so there is a smidgen of ‘believe-ability’ to that spin?
But, in the radio silence since, it just looks like another desperate effort to generate
some good news for the bears: someone else is actually interested in your club!
Maybe during the SC Final, ibrox will announce that the Yanks have done walking away?
…and then the real fun will begin, with finger pointing, frustrations being vented, etc.
Should be fun!
Douglas Dickie I know his mother and father and I promise you it’s not Celtic his family support.his father once said to me at 13yrs old going to Celtic park I hope a wee rangers fans kicks f##k out of you today . ??
£45m per year. Hahahahaha…floating pitch casino wishpish.
Their nappers must have zips.
We’ll do 50iar at this rate.
Honestly, it never fucking ends, long may they lap it.
