The Rangers ‘takeover’ has sent the Ibrox fans into giddy status as they prattle on about being the richest club in Scotland. One thing is for sure, it has amused the Celtic supporters.
The latest Sky Sports update on the situation has intimated that a deal has been ‘agreed in principle’ as the Americans ‘due diligence’ checks go on and look at the Ibrox club’s accounts.
For some strange reason, this has led Rangers fans to believe the deal is all but done, but as every Celtic fan knows, it’s far from it.
However, with UEFA Financial Fair Play rules in force, even if Rangers do become Scotland’s richest club, how can the Ibrox club get around those pesky rules that are there to avoid making clubs spend more than they earn?

So it started with this simple question:
How to keep in line with FFP? Create more revenue streams? Live within your means? Stop overspending? Don’t be daft. Here is how they do it:
Hold an NFL game? Really? A game that’s played on a different sized pitch, with a different surface in a country were American football probably won’t sell out a stadium. So where is the £5m coming from?
Even this next fan can’t believe what he’s reading.
And then it just gets ridiculous:
And to get a successful team means spending money. Money that they don’t have. In fact, with the amount of debt Rangers has will the Ibrox club even pass the 49ers’ due diligence test? We shall see.
