Dallas is also a known Rangers supporter, and recently spoke about the club's takeover, after which Marathe was confirmed as vice-chairman: "Obviously, Rangers is built on success," he said [RecordSport].
"I've said to Paraag already, if you get it right at Rangers, you'll never experience anything like it.
"They’ve done that at Leeds but if you can get it right at both clubs, it will be incredible.
"I've spoken to him about Rangers. I've exchanged messages, I've obviously seen him at some games towards the end of the season when there were rumours of the takeover going through.
"It’s exciting times. It’s a big summer for everybody involved because Rangers haven't won enough trophies in recent years. We know that in Scotland, second best isn't good enough.
"Following Rangers myself, I know what it means to the fans. I'm excited for what's ahead. They've got to find a way of getting back to competing on all fronts, not just in Europe.
"They've got to win trophies first and foremost. They've got to have a squad capable of competing on all fronts.
"That just doesn't mean a good starting XI. They need quality throughout the squad. The board will be working really hard now to bring people in.
"But it is a hard one because Rangers want instant success, the fans want to win. It doesn't always happen overnight. It's going to be interesting to see what happens."
