Soccer-Rangers step up plans for stock market return

LONDON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Fans of former Scottish soccer

champions Rangers will be able to register next month to buy

shares in the Glasgow club which is preparing to return to the

stock market after collapsing under the weight of its debt.

The new owners of Rangers have appointed Capita Registrars

to handle share registration services, the club said on Tuesday,

after hiring Cenkos Securities to advise on raising additional

funds earlier this month.

Rangers, Scottish champions a record 54 times, have been

demoted to the fourth tier of the game in Scotland after their

financial failure, which began with administration in February

and their relaunch as a new club in June.

"The Rangers Football Club will make further details

available shortly and expects that fans will have an opportunity

to register their interest in purchasing shares in The Rangers

Football Club in October," Chief Executive Charles Green said in

a statement.

Institutional investors have shown limited appetite for

owning soccer club stocks, given the high salary costs in the

sport and the way setbacks on the field can affect earnings.

Rangers have made a muted start to life in the lowly

Scottish Third Division. They are currently fourth in the

10-team league which they had been expected to dominate.
