With the Rangers announcement yesterday confirming that take over talks are happening and that the 49er group are looking for a controlling stake. I had a question to ask the more knowledgeable people on here.
I'll make the point now I'm not trolling but have a genuine interest in this situation. I for one hope it happens as it will open the door to other clubs being invested in. Anyway on to the question.
From what I have read a lot of time was spent waiting to see if Leeds would get promoted as dual ownership is less an issue in England's top flight. However I was under the impression that Scottish rules are maxed out at something like 30% ownership. So is that still the case or has it changed? As a second question if Leeds where to be relegated again at some point would this affect the ownership of both clubs again or would it be allowed as the ownership predates the relagation?
Rangers take over.

I doubt the SFA would stand in rangers way regarding the takeover. They never have done in the past.

A moment of silence following the passing of Pope Francis has been announced by UEFA.
The mark of respect will be paid in all matches in the Champions League, UEFA Youth League, and Women's Champions League next week.
The head of the Catholic state died aged 88 on Monday, April 21.
A UEFA spokesperson said: "UEFA will hold a moment of silence in memory of His Holiness the Pope Francis before the kick-off of this week’s Youth League and Women’s Champions League semi-finals, as well as our men’s club competition semis taking place 29 April-1 May."
Following the sad passing of the Pope last Monday, UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin paid tribute to his life and legacy.
"Pope Francis was a beacon of hope for all humanity in these times of war and hardship," said Mr Čeferin. "A humanity that will now remain orphaned of that voice – tireless and powerful – that always rose in defence of the poor, the humble, and the vulnerable to call for respect, acceptance, and equality and to implore a peace that always seemed distant, yet ever more longed for by the heart of the world."
A Celtic statement released on Monday read: "Celtic Football Club would like to express its deepest condolences following the death of Pope Francis who has passed away this morning at the age of 88.
"Everyone at the club is saddened by this morning's news and we offer our sincere thoughts and prayers. Requiescat in pace."

Have to pass on the takeover stuff don't know.
Neither does anybody mind.
Also don't think it'll change things a jot no matter what turn it takes.
