Rangers takeover idea floated as Ibrox hero suggests 'ridiculous' offer may prompt board decision

Alan Hutton says a large offer to buy Rangers could persuade the current board to ditch their current project and sell up.

The former right-back believes chairman Douglas Park and the rest of the board are steering the club in the right direction but is wary that money talks.

I think the direction they’re going in at this moment in time suits them.
