A very familiar name in the form of Gianluca Vialli is the co-founder and current non-executive director of Tifosy, the advisory firm who are working with Rangers on the club’s new share issue, announced today.
Given some of the chapters and individuals of the recent past at Ibrox, there is still a degree of hesitancy on such financial matters, but things are much different now, with the club only engaging with reputable entities and platforms.
Previously, Tifosy has worked with the likes of Everton, Wolves, Fulham, Juventus and Sampdoria – the latter two clubs synonymous with Vialli, as well as Chelsea where he was a player and manager.

On the Rangers share issue, the club has described the move as a chance to keep moving forward and to inject fresh capital with the aim of raising approximately £6.75 million if the offer is fully subscribed.
As included on the club statement:
‘A minimum investment of £500 and a maximum investment of £100,000 will apply per applicant. Shares will be made available through the investment platform of Tifosy Capital & Advisory as the arranger and authorised offeror of the share offering.’
Rangers chairman Douglas Park was quoted as saying,
“Rangers has been here for 150 years and it’s vital that we future-proof the next 150 years. The club has to be put in the best possible position and, by widening the ownership to a broader base of like minded supporters and shareholders, we feel it helps put the club on an even stronger footing going forward.”
The club is very much on the front foot, going into the 150th anniversary year and plans are firmly in place to consolidate as Scotland’s premier football insitution.
