Mail Sport reported last week how a group of US investors headed by Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe had no concerns that their prospective takeover of Rangers would be dashed by rules on dual ownership.
Indeed, there is optimism on both sides that a deal, which would need SFA approval, will be concluded between April and June. The belief stems from the make-up of the consortium which sees Marathe combine with several fellow US business people who have no involvement with San Francisco 49ers Enterprises, owners of the Elland Road club.
However, such a move is also likely to need the green light from the EFL, for as long as Leeds remain outside the Premier League.
