Rangers Administrators In Talks With Dating Site In Bid To Save Club

A Match Made In Heaven or Hell For Gers?

Financially-stricken Rangers could be set for a match made in heaven... or hell.

Premier married dating website, AshleyMadison.com, has apparently emerged as an unlikely saviour, offering the club much-needed money in exchange for the stadium naming rights of Ibrox.

The website claims it is in talks with the club’s administrators about renaming the Gers' stadium the AshleyMadison.com Stadium for a five-year period, worth £4.4m.

As well as pinning their name to the venue of one of Britain's most famous football grounds, they would also become club’s shirt sponsor once the current deal with Tennent's ends.

Noel Biderman, AshleyMadison.com’s founder and CEO, also revealed he has included an immediate reimbursement of players’ recent salary cut as an incentive.

Biderman, a former sports agent and lawyer said: “Sport runs through my veins. Rangers Football Club is a globally-recognised team of world-class talent with an impressive heritage. I’d like to provide for its equally glittering future.”

Today Duff and Phelps launched a legal bid which could allow the Teddy Bears to escape from their £24.4m finance deal with Ticketus.

The administrators are seeking a declaration season ticket deal's status, which was struck by controversial owner Craig Whyte.

Whyte was deemed "not fit and proper" to run a football club last week.
