In-demand boss Danny Rohl has hyped up Leeds United with 49ers Enterprises set to take control of Rangers.
The investment wing of the San Francisco 49ers and pharmaceutical tycoon Andrew Cavenagh are set to take control at Ibrox.
One of the first targets for the incoming US consortium will be to name a new manager – with Rohl emerging as a wildcard for the hot seat.
The German has openly suggested that he is set to leave Sheffield Wednesday after the curtain was pulled down on the English Championship campaign.
In a whistle-stop tour of media in his homeland, the 36-year-old has talked about his ambition of managing in the Bundesliga, Premier League and Champions League.
Rohl – who began his coaching career at RB Leipzig – has reportedly emerged as a potential target for the new owners having worked with Red Bull.
The energy drink giants have close ties to the NFL giants with Red Bull holding a minority stake in the Championship winners.

And amid speculation of a link-up with the 49ers in Glasgow, he has heaped praise on their work a Elland Road and chances of succeeding in the top flight after promotion.
He told Kicker: “If you also have teams, if you just take Brentford, that have developed dramatically. Even Brighton, who were able to invest 300 million.
“They were also in the Championship five or six years ago. But making that leap will be the challenge for all newly promoted teams.
“I’m excited about Leeds, who, in my opinion, have been the best team this season. They have an incredible fan base.
“They also have a great German coach, whom I really like. And I hope they can break the barrier.”
