STUART Gibson is set to become the latest Ibrox investor as part of a multi-million pound deal.
Gibson is one of two Far East-based businessmen that will put money into Rangers following the departure of chairman Dave King.
King revealed at the AGM in November that he would be stepping down from his position as he felt Rangers no longer required his financial support going forward.
Gibson will now come on board alongside the likes of Douglas Park, who is poised to replace King as chairman, George Letham and George Taylor as key backers for the Light Blues.
But King will not sell off his Ibrox shareholding as part of any fresh investment package.
Gibson has made his money in property and operates in areas such as China, Japan and Australia and is the co-founder and executive director of Hong Kong headquartered real estate operation ESR.
And he will now strengthen the financial foundations at Rangers as the Ibrox board continue to invest on and off the park in the coming years.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
