Paraag Marathe delivered the Championship title to Leeds this afternoon.
The key 49ers Enterprises figure - heavily involved in the Rangers takeover - presented the trophy after Leeds sealed the second-tier crown in England.
Leeds ensured title glory and a return to the Premier League after beating Plymouth Argyle 2-1 away from home.
The victory sealed the title on goal difference over Burnley who will be promoted in the second automatic spot to return to the Premier League.
Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu lifted the title after the match with Marathe presenting the trophy to the pitch before kicking off celebrations himself.
Marathe is the chairman at Leeds United and was among a number of officials shown around Ibrox earlier this week as takeover talks continue between Rangers, Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers Enterprises group.

Last week, the club and consortium confirmed publicly for the first time that they'd held 'productive talks' regarding a 51 percent stake in the Ibrox club.
A statement read: "Rangers and its existing controlling shareholders are in productive conversations with the two lead members of the Consortium, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises Global Football Group, about the potential for the Consortium to acquire control of the club and to inject additional capital.
"These discussions reflect a shared recognition of the importance of Rangers FC's long-term direction, ambitions and management."
