Rangers and the SPFL could be on course for another legal row. The Ibrox club took the league chiefs to court in 2021 to prevent the SFA from ruling on their dispute over the terms of the SPFL’s sponsorship deal with used car dealership cinch. They claimed that an existing contract with then chairman Douglas Park’s car business meant Rangers should be excluded from that agreement. The Light Blues came out on top last year when the Ibrox side were not included in a new deal the SPFL agreed with cinch. Now there has been a suggestion that Rangers will refuse to join in with the league’s new Glen’s Vodka sponsorship contract, which starts at the beginning of next season. Rangers have reportedly told the governing body that they believe they no longer need to honour any sponsorship deal brought in by chief executive Neil Doncaster, chairman Murdoch MacLennan and legal advisor Rod McKenzie and that they want all three men removed from office. However, the SPFL are determined to ensure that Rangers take part in the Glen’s deal, insisting that they are legally bound to do so.
