Celtic fan and former Scotland international forward Alan Brazil has suggested in The Sunday Post that Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers should speak to Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley about investment.

Rangers have been involved in a court battle with Sports Direct and Newcastle owner Ashley over a merchandise deal, as reported in The Sunday Post last month.

As recently reported by The Daily Record, Rangers have posted a £14 million loss in their annual accounts.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United forward Brazil – who now works as a presenter on talkSPORT and stated in The Sunday Post in July 2017 that he is red-hot Celtic fan – has suggested that the Gers work with Newcastle owner Ashley in order to improve their financial situation.

Brazil wrote in The Sunday Post about Ashley and Rangers: “I hear he’s always thinking, always coming up with ideas for the next way to make his businesses more profitable.

“So maybe Rangers would do better to stop fighting the guy in court and start talking to him instead? That’s what I would be doing if I were in charge of the club.

“Their mission at the moment should be to get cash for Steven Gerrard to strengthen. Instead, they’re being ordered to fork out hundreds of thousands in legal fees.”

Succeeding this season

Rangers may have been knocked out of the Scottish League Cup at the semi-final stage this season, but Steven Gerrard’s side are very much in the running for the Scottish Premiership title.

The Gers are also doing well in the Europa League and have a very good chance of progressing to the knockout rounds of the European competition.
