If the American investors can complete their deal, the Gers will be looking ahead to a more optimistic summer transfer window as they look to get back on track.
Nevertheless, Rangers still look set for plenty of change and there could certainly be departures in Glasgow too.
Rangers face contract rejection
Rangers have had a tough period of late and although a takeover is likely to signal a new era, it will take some convincing that Ibrox is the place to be going forward.
With that in mind, there could well be plenty of change in Glasgow over the summer transfer window, with both the club and players being prepared to make ruthless decisions.
That being said, according to Scott Burns, the Light Blues may have to prepare themselves for a rejection that he has branded as “cruel.”
Writing in the Daily Record (25 April, page 48), Burns reported that Oliver Goodbrand is set to reject a professional contract with Rangers to instead join Newcastle United.
The highly-rated 16-year-old will have to join the Magpies on a scholarship, being too young to sign a professional contract in England as it stands.
Rangers would be set to receive a fee for training compensation for the youngster who has already played for the Bears’ B-team, although his departure on youth terms, this fee would likely be reduced.
Rangers have to control expectations
The prospect of the takeover in Glasgow is exciting for those who are part of the set-up and the supporters inside Ibrox.
Increased investment in the team will supply the opportunity to push Celtic in the Scottish Premiership while also looking for further progression on the European stage.
However, this should serve as a reminder that there is still plenty of work to be done by the Light Blues to change the reputation of the club going forward.
Newcastle are an exciting club at the moment, but the fact that Goodbrand is looking set to turn down a first professional contract suggests that he does not see Rangers as a place to progress.
The 49ers Enterprises will surely allow things to change for the better at Rangers and there will be better times ahead.
However, patience is key and if progress is going to be achieved in a sustainable way, the Gers will have to wait before they see the full benefits of a takeover.
