US President Donald Trump would have given a ‘serious view’ of the purchase of Rangers, but finally decided to support an agreement.
The Premier League Scottish team was in financial collapse in 2012 and was forced to enter administration.
The club’s financial situation ended up leading to settlement, before the match again at the third level of Scottish football.
Trump, before embarking on his political career, was allegedly interested in coming to Rangers Rescue at the time.
The businessman claimed to be interested in the Scottish giants, before departing from an agreement after examining the club’s financial situation.
“We looked seriously and left,” said a Trump source at the time.

“It made no sense to us, although they are a great club. We hope someone will enter and build the team again.
A Trump lawyer at the time had noticed interest in business opportunities in Scotland at the time.
“We are committed to long -term Scotland and we will always evaluate opportunities to support our business and the interests of Scotland,” the organization said.
Trump has Scottish roots through his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, and the same year was about to open her first golf course in the country.
Trump International Golf Links Scotland – which operates north of Aberdeen after being built from scratch until then protected sand dunes – opened in 2012.
He also bought Trump bought the Turnberry from a Dubai-based company for 46 million pounds in 2014, before renamed him ‘Trump Turnberry’ and reformly.
Trump had already revealed that he had been approached about investing in soccer clubs.
“The strange things happened,” said Trump in 2010.

“People talked to me about it, so we’ll see.”
The Rangers legend, Ally McCoist, who was manager in 2012, confirmed that he had heard reports of Trump potential interest in the club.
“I was aware of the rumors, I think my first board meeting would have been interesting,” McCoist said said Fourfourtwo.
‘The only thing I would say about Trump – we can argue about his policy, we’ll probably agree with what we think about his politics and we can argue until the cows come home – but he knows how to manage a golf course, I can tell you.
“So forget everything else, if you are sports negotiations, your two golf camps north of the border, Turnberry and Trump International in Aberdeen, they are nothing less than magnificent, they really are.”
Trump, who briefly had the American football franchise of New Jersey generals in the 1980s, last week met FIFA President Gianni Infantino as preparations continue for the World Cup next year.
The US President has signed an executive order on the tournament, which the United States is co-organizing with Canada and Mexico.
