The influx of American investors has significantly impacted Scottish soccer, with six of the twelve Scottish Premiership clubs now under U.S. ownership. Notably, the arrival of Andrew Cavenagh and the San Francisco 49ers as new owners of Rangers is poised to disrupt Celtic's dominance. The trend began in 2013 with U.S. involvement at Dundee and has expanded as more American investors recognize the potential in Scottish soccer. The cost of ownership is lower compared to England, attracting even more interest from American millionaires.
One club away from a majority of American owners, the investment trend in Scottish soccer has grown significantly, with six clubs now under U.S. ownership.
The on-ramp to get into Scottish soccer is even lower, which partly explains why many American millionaires are investing north of the England/Scotland border.
American investment is reshaping the Scottish Premiership, shifting the power dynamics that have largely favored Celtic in recent seasons.
This summer saw not just Rangers’ acquisition by the 49ers, but also Calvin Ford’s buyout of Livingston, showcasing the increasing U.S. interest.
