New Rangers chairman relishes the challenge of deposing Celtic
New Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh says he relishes the challenge of taking on Celtic to knock them from the top of Scottish football – and believes they have the right man in the dugout to succeed. Cavenagh was speaking after an Extraordinary General Meeting of the club's shareholders that ratified the US consortium's takeover at Ibrox, and paved the way for their initial £20m investment. The American businessman spoke about his long-term vision for the club and how he and his fellow investors plan to deliver sustainable success, with domestic trophies and progress in Europe. Winning silverware regularly in Scotland will mean overcoming their rivals, who have had a virtual stranglehold on trophies in recent years. Cavenagh isn't fazed by that task and when asked about 'deposing' Celtic, he said the rivalry was important but he was determined to be on the winning side of it. 'We relish that challenge,' he said. 'We're impatient and competitive and so we look forward to the challenge. 'I think rivalry is one of the things that makes football great. 'Our rivalry with Celtic, we wouldn't be quite the same without that rivalry. It's top five in the world. 'Like Boca v River Plate, Rangers v Celtic, Lazio v Roma, those are the three that come to mind. 'It's fantastic to have that rivalry, and again, we look forward to the challenge.' Key to that success will be putting together a successful team on the pitch, and the biggest decision the new board has made in their first few weeks has been the appointment of former Southampton boss Russell Martin as head coach. Martin came out on top after a number of candidates were considered, including former Real Madrid assistant boss Davide Ancelotti. Cavenagh was happy to lay out how the decision was made and what makes him think Martin is the man to lead the new era at the club. 'There are four criteria that we looked at for head coach,' he explained. 'One, somebody that will coach what we think is the right style of play or game model. 'Two, who will build a culture in the way we think it needs to be built. 'Three, who can develop talent. And four, who can win matches. 'Russell is the stand-out across all of those metrics, unanimously amongst our team. We're thrilled to have him as our head coach.' The new owner, who along with his associates has bought 51%, also revealed his first contact over making a move to buy Rangers, and his impressions of the club and support. 'I was on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, outside a coffee shop, about to go to a New York Yankees game,' he said when asked about the initial call. 'I've known about Rangers forever as a football fan. So when the phone call came to ask if I'd have an interest, it was a lightning bolt moment. 'The call was from Les Allan, a banker in New York. I had met him six months prior, and he knew our group was interested in a rare but good opportunity in football. 'Les called me and I said absolutely. Three seconds later, I was on the phone to Paraag. 'There are many things about this club that are attractive. But the big three are the supporters – the breadth and depth of the fanbase is incredible. 'We've not seen many other clubs in Europe with this sort of scope and passion. 'Ibrox is an incredibly magical place to attend as a supporter. 'And the competitions in which we play, the league, the cups and Europe.'

Murray hails ‘brilliant opportunities' of UK Government's industrial strategy
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer unveiled the document on Monday, pinpointing key industries believed to have the most potential for growth such as artificial intelligence, offshore wind and batteries for electric vehicles. The 160-page document put Scotland 'at the heart of the UK's energy transition', as well as talking up commitments to a £750 million supercomputer in Edinburgh and £200 million in development funding for the Acorn carbon capture and storage facility in Aberdeenshire. The Prime Minister also announced a cut to electricity bills for industrial businesses, £30 million for the video games sector – with a number of high profile developers based in Scotland – and £30 million for research and development for each of the devolved nations. Delighted to be in Cockenzie, East Lothian for the launch of the UK Industrial Strategy today. Lots of brilliant opportunities for Scotland from the 8 growth sectors. Jobs, investment, regeneration and skills. — Ian Murray MP (@IanMurrayMP) June 23, 2025 In a post on X following a visit to the promote the strategy, the Scottish Secretary said: 'Delighted to be in Cockenzie, East Lothian, for the launch of the UK industrial strategy today. 'Lots of brilliant opportunities for Scotland from the eight growth sectors. 'Jobs, investment, regeneration and skills.' The strategy was also praised by Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar. 'Labour's industrial strategy delivers for Scotland – unlocking economic potential, raising wages, boosting living standards, and delivering the growth we need,' he said. Asked about his response to the UK Government's announcement on Monday, First Minister John Swinney touted his own Government's work on industry. 'Of course, we have in Scotland our own approach to industrial strategy, which involves working with our universities, with our economic development agencies to ensure that we attract investment and can support development within the economy,' he told the PA news agency. 'Last week, we saw that Scotland, for the 10th year in a row, was the most successful part of the United Kingdom for the attraction of inward investment other than London and the south east. 'So that's an indication that the Scottish Government's got its priorities correct, its focus correct on the attraction of investment, because we're contributing to make Scotland an incredibly successful investment location.'

Andrew Cavenagh: Why Rangers and why Russell Martin
Andrew Cavenagh met shareholders and supporters for the first time today at the Gers EGM. At the meeting, the £20 million investment from the consortium involving Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises was, as expected, approved. All four resolutions at the meeting, held at the Doubletree by Hilton at Glasgow Central, were passed, and that means unrestricted investment is now permitted, beyond the ten per cent cap which was in place following the previous AGM. Cavenagh was asked whether he was looking to make a return on his investment and insisted he has no exit plan, just a growth one. The health tycoon was quizzed on a host of other issues, including his motivations for coming to Scotland and Rangers, and why Russell Martin was the best choice as manager. On the former, the businessman explained there were four factors attracting him to the club. Read more: Explaining where he was when he took the phone call that 'changed his life', he said: 'I was on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, outside a coffee shop, about to go to a New York Yankees game. I've known about Rangers forever as a football fan. So when the phone call came to ask if I'd have an interest, it was a lightning bolt moment. The call was from Les Allan, a banker in New York.

Ibrox is an incredibly magical place to attend as a supporter. And the competitions in which we play, the league, the cups and Europe." He has taken in games at Ibrox while the takeover talks progressed, so already has plenty of experience of what it feels like to take in that famous atmosphere on a matchday. Like many before him, he was captivated by the historic stadium. 'It's a physical experience when you walk upstairs at Ibrox," he explained. You walk up the marble stairs to the Blue Room, and in the trophy room in particular, you can just feel the history. There's no other way to describe it. "You walk in and instantly feel indebted to the people who have come before you. But you also have the desire to do everything you possibly can, not just to improve the history, but also to improve the trajectory." Rangers fans want to see ambition and are enthused by the fact that, so far, that is what the new faces are showing. Paraag Marathe (middle, left) is the new Rangers vice-chairman (Image: Craig Foy - SNS Group) Cavenagh and new vice-chairman Paraag Marathe want to return the club to the very top of the Scottish game. He insists they wouldn't be here for any other reason. But at the same time, he acknowledges that it will be hard work and will not happen overnight. "There is real work to be done, I think everyone is aware of that," he said. "Paraag and I are two of the least patient people you will meet and we are also incredibly competitive, so we share our supporters' sense of urgency. We are in with both feet today, and we will move this forward as fast as we can. "We relish that challenge. We are impatient, we are competitive, and so we look forward to the challenge. In terms of the rivalry, I think rivalry is one of the things that makes football great. Our rivalry with Celtic, Rangers wouldn't quite be the same without that rivalry. It's top five in the world. Boca-River Plate, Lazio-Roma, Celtic-Rangers, those would be the three that come to mind. It's fantastic to have that rivalry. And we look forward to the challenge.' Asked how far away those dreams are, he added: 'I would give you the simple answer, which is we have been finishing second and we would like to finish first. We are one position away from where we would like to be. "We think it is achievable, or we wouldn't be here. We don't think it will be easy. It is not going to happen instantaneously but we will strive to improve the on-field performance and we will continue to build the infrastructure of the club. If we didn't think we could win, we wouldn't be here. We are here because we think we can."
