STUART Gibson is set to become the latest Ibrox investor as part of a multi-million pound deal.
Gibson is one of two Far East-based businessmen that will put money into Rangers following the departure of chairman Dave King.
King revealed at the AGM in November that he would be stepping down from his position as he felt Rangers no longer required his financial support going forward.
Gibson will now come on board alongside the likes of Douglas Park, who is poised to replace King as chairman, George Letham and George Taylor as key backers for the Light Blues.
But King will not sell off his Ibrox shareholding as part of any fresh investment package.
Gibson has made his money in property and operates in areas such as China, Japan and Australia and is the co-founder and executive director of Hong Kong headquartered real estate operation ESR.
And he will now strengthen the financial foundations at Rangers as the Ibrox board continue to invest on and off the park in the coming years.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
