'It's a big story' - Rangers man's 'face won't be seen for quite some time' at Ibrox
The duties of Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe will become even more important at Rangers in the aftermath of Jed York's arrest.
That is according to former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, who believes that the pair will come to the fore at Ibrox, with York taking a bigger back seat.
The Rangers co-owner was recently arrested as part of a prostitution bust in Ohio, and charged with disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
Wyness believes that the arrest of the key 49ers man will have no "lasting impact" at Ibrox, but he does expect York to have to fade into the background a little in the coming months.
Marathe stood down as Rangers' vice-chair back in February, but Wyness expects that he may have to return to having a more recognisable involvement in the coming months.
He and Cavenagh were both key figures in the 49ers' takeover of the Glasgow giants, and are set to see their involvement grow after York's misdemeanours.
Jed York to take step back at Rangers
Aberdeen's former chief Wyness - who served as CEO at Pittodrie between 2000 and 2004 and now runs a consultancy business advising elite clubs - made it clear that he does not expect to see York for some time at Ibrox.
The 46-year-old only received two days in prison after his arrest, but Wyness is clear that there will still be personal ramifications for him moving forward.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider's Inside Track podcast, he explained how he expects York to now take a back seat long-term.
"It's had a lot of coverage in the US, and certainly, he (York) was involved very heavily in terms of the Leeds and Rangers situations and has been talking about his desire to be involved in both clubs and wishing them success," Wyness said.
"The 49ers are a big organisation and look, I'm sure these things will pass, and I hope that his own personal situation is going to be okay now that it's all been resolved.
"For Rangers, it'll be business as usual. I'd expect Paraag Marathe and Andrew Cavenagh to be more forward than ever. I don't expect to see Mr York's face at all for quite some time in terms of Rangers.
"So it's certainly been a big story, but not one that I think will have any lasting impact in terms of his involvement in the football clubs."
Rangers part of 'complete disaster' in Scotland
Former Manchester City financial advisor Stefan Borson recently told Football Insider that the European qualifying campaign was a "complete disaster" for Scottish football in terms of their UEFA coefficient.
Wouter Vrancken's side will play in the UEFA Conference League this term, but Borson is clear that it won't be enough to repair the damage to the Premiership's coefficient.
Scotland is already without a single automatic qualification spot for any UEFA competition, and their predicament is now set to get even worse.
