Rangers in talks about takeover bid

Published Mar. 8, 2010 12:48 p.m. ET

Scottish champion Rangers has announced that majority shareholder David Murray is talking to a London-based property developer about a takeover of the club, which is 31 million pounds ($46.8 million; €34.4 million) in debt.

Murray quit as chairman last August and has since been looking for a buyer and the club issued a statement Monday that it is in talks with Andrew Ellis, a former director of English club Queens Park Rangers.

Rangers, which has said up an independent board committee to conduct negotiations with any potential buyers, has not bought any new players since August 2008.
