"I'm not an investor in Rangers, I'm not involved in Rangers - I don't have anything to do with that except that I'm a Celtic man. When you see Eddie (Gray) and I sitting there together.... That's not why I didn't invest, it just wasn't for me. One of the best nights I had actually. Eddie and I went up to Celtic Park last season during the European Cup."
"Lowy admitted seeing Celtic under the lights on a European night is the benchmark for what he wants Leeds United to become after Leeds City County approved plans to increase Elland Road's capacity from 37,645 seats to approximately 53,000."
Pete Lowy, an Australian billionaire and major investor in Leeds United through 49ers Enterprises, clarified his lack of involvement with Rangers despite the ownership group's connection to the Scottish club. Lowy is a lifelong Leeds fan who joined the club in 2021 and is focused on ambitious expansion plans for Elland Road, increasing capacity from 37,645 to approximately 53,000 seats. He expressed admiration for Celtic after visiting Parkhead with Leeds legend Eddie Gray during a European match, citing the atmosphere as inspiration for Leeds' future development. His comments came following Rangers vice-chairman Paraag Marathe's recent resignation, which aligned with UEFA's multi-club ownership compliance deadline.
