Tony Bloom advised to ditch Hearts and look at £10m Rangers investment
Tony Bloom has been told to plough his £10million investment into Rangers INSTEAD of Hearts.
The Brighton owner is locked in talks with the Jambos over a deal that would bring his sports analysis company Starlizard to Tynecastle. The agreement would likely revolutionise the current recruitment strategy at the club and give the Gorgie outfit access to the analytics which have been utilised at the Seagulls and helped the Premier League side bring in tens of millions in transfer sales.
There's also the possibility that the English businessman could claim a minority stake at Tynecastle, although Bloom would require the 90 per cent voting approval of Foundation of Hearts members - the club's majority shareholders. And while the investment could transform Hearts over the coming years, ex-Dundee and Hibs boss Jim Duffy claims it would make better sense for Bloom to plough his money into Rangers.

He told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard: "I don’t get the Tony Bloom thing at Hearts; they are going to put £10m in and deal with the recruitment. Why would you not look at Rangers? They are a huge club and have an unbelievable fan base.
"Their recruitment hasn’t been great, so you go in there with your analysis company and say ‘We will look at the players’. You would think that would be something a club like Rangers would have to look at."
