Leeds United news: Paraag Marathe takes on Rangers role

Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe is to take up a new position at Scottish Premiership side Rangers.

Marathe will work in the role of the club’s new vice-chairman alongside his existing position at Elland Road.

The news comes after Leeds’ owners, San Francisco 49ers Enterprises, completed a multi-million pound takeover at Ibrox led by private healthcare tycoon Andrew Cavenagh, who will become Rangers’ chairman.

Marathe has been on the Whites’ board of directors for five years, serving as vice-chairman for over two years before taking on the role as chairman.

He was a key figure in leading the club’s ownership transition to 49ers Enterprises in July 2023.
