Very concerning commercially that we are not selling replica kits. Our official club site is not selling any kit, current or replica. If lucky you can get a goalkeepers jersey at Greaves. What is going on?
25 Dec 2018 20:22:53
Nonsense! Gers online store is selling loads of official merchandise and has been for around 3months.
25 Dec 2018 21:37:52
Either Ashley has us by balls or on the hand Hummel who were maybe the only supplier available to us as nobody else would touch the job? The size of our club and support and we have Hummel is a joke and the standard and quality of the strips is an absolute disgrace 😭😡🇬🇧.
25 Dec 2018 22:30:19
New shop in St Enochs was fully stocked.
25 Dec 2018 22:48:24
You had too much sherry trifle St Enoch square says it all.
25 Dec 2018 22:49:45
You must be from the other side.
26 Dec 2018 05:24:13
The official website hasn’t sold any merchandise for yonks, the new online store is a new company set up to get around the Ashley fiasco but the club has directed its supporters to buy from this site and the new store in st Enochs (Ashley still controls the megastore at ibrox) so I’m sure the terms of the new company are acceptable to us if not just a front for our merchandise dealings on the whole.

Yately 1,I know where you're coming from mate, as i would much have preferred adidas, nike, under armour,
puma etc, as our new kit manufacturers, in the summer there!
Having said that, I do believe that a lot of the bigger kit manufacturers,
wouldn't go near rangers, while they're still embroiled with mike ashley. Hummel still showed a willingness, to still want to be associated with glasgow rangers, by offering a decent £10million to become our new kit makers, over the next 3 years. Fair play to them and i do believe, that after the hummel 3 years is up and hopefully ashley is well out the picture, i think one of the bigger kit makers, will take over from hummel, as our new kit makers!
Having said that, i quite like the hummel shirts and the training gear! I especially like our home top though!
26 Dec 2018 08:10:32
Yately what's wro g with hummel? Were u moaning when fergie, de boer etc were all running about in diadora? Or you just moaning for the sake of moaning?
26 Dec 2018 09:15:03
The kit deal we got is disgraceful,10 million 3 years, its a joke. the big 4 in england get 50 million onwards a year. who ever is in charge of handling commercial side needs sacking. i'm not even happy with the design of kits. King said last season dispute was fixed with sports direct its far from it, so who is to blame for mess, KING or COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR. we can't even buy kits properly. tell me what's right with hummel. we knew puma contract wasnt being renewed and had a year to get a good supplier. farce as usual,
26 Dec 2018 09:48:00
Spot on paul86! Fair play to Hummel because I’d say the likes of Adidas and Nike were not interested due to the ongoing legal battles. Nothing wrong with the Hummel stuff.
26 Dec 2018 10:11:15
I'm not condoning what I did, but at the time you could not buy Official Rangers gear, but the 3 orange away knock-offs I bought in Turkey are Excellent quality. I have since bought 4 official home tops for me and my 3 kids and they seem good too.
26 Dec 2018 10:39:43
Paul, we produced the strips ourself with Diadora and they paid to have their name on the strip, although I do agree with you they were terrible. All I am saying is Hummel are not It up to dealing with a club the size of Rangers and after looking at my sons home top the quality is no good. Hopefully the next strip supplier will be a big company who would dawrf the money paid by Hummel. Don’t like talking about Dims but the currently have a contract with a great supplier and get over double the money we get😭🇬🇧.
25 Dec 2018 17:02:36
How is it that we have no common connections with clubs. OK we have the Liverpool link due to Stevie but we constantly see that smelly lot get players from PSG, Citeh and Chelsea.
Did Allen not maintain a working relationship with Citeh when he left?
What does this guy get paid for? Failed loan signings, failed permanent signignigs and two years of money paid out and nothing moving forward.
We spent a fortune again on another new boss and team. To get what in the league? We are 2 points better than Pedro/ Murty and had it not been for the fortunate Euro run Stevie would be under pressure.
Lets be real guys. We got a really fortunate group who all had issues. Vienna struggling for league form, sack manager. Moscow, struggling for league for and sack manager. Villareal 16th in la liga and close on two occasions to sacking manager.
For all his fantastic PR credentiails Stevie will be found out unless he starts to play the opposition to there weaknesses and not play the opposition to our strengths. We are being found out.
Any team that floods the midfield in a diamond force us to play wide. Our wide game is shocking. We could average 20 corners a game with out any actual goal threat. That is something teams have eaten up playing us and waiting for a chance. 1 chance on the counter.
We need to be confident with more than Shagger and Buff to perform. Shagger and Buff together if you look at statistics of what points there heroics have gained us would be frightening.
CELTIC HAVE BEEN SHOCKING THIS YEAR AND WE STILL TRAIL THEM.
STOP CELEBRATING MEDIOCRITY RANGERS let's GO.
25 Dec 2018 17:24:38
Jesus H. Christ. Someone is full of festive cheer.
25 Dec 2018 18:06:50
Who stuffed your turkey bigcliff? What a load of negative crap. Who gives a flying f*** what the unwashed are doing. We are in 2nd place in the league we DID have a great European run and things are looking brighter and better than for a long time. Awa and bile yir heid.
25 Dec 2018 18:12:13
Disagree on ALLEN he has been good in his transfer dealings in finding players for next to nothing., for a budget of 6 million plus we have done well. even though some of the signings look shaky, goldson, katic, worrel i'd send back heart not here, grezda needs more time then judge, lafferty waste of space and wage. Personaly gerrard has done ok, you can see his mistakes, formatiion, rotation of players, tactics. but its only 6 mths he hasn't done bad. rapid vienna is our leval in europe, imagine if we progressed and got an chelsea or arsenal it would be embarrasing. were no where near that standard yet. Gerrard needs time and better backing fiancialy to get better players, rather than young loanees, cast offs from liverpool. AGREED on celtic there for taking and not a good celtic team,
25 Dec 2018 18:23:00
Bigcliff, you sound like Jock Wallace and are correct on some of your points made.
25 Dec 2018 18:55:31
Big cliff from parkhead me thinks.
25 Dec 2018 19:41:56
I think we've done quite well so far this season, considering we're poor according to big cliff.
25 Dec 2018 22:31:17
Bigcliff talks utter rubbish.
25 Dec 2018 22:50:52
Bankie
Ur painting poor picture on replica shirts. At mo they are all freely available. Just that they all seem to be thru fat Mick. Maybe that's deal club has done sadly.
26 Dec 2018 00:24:06
Really big cliff really?
26 Dec 2018 11:02:27
Whatever the reason extremely poor commercial and business practice by our club.
26 Dec 2018 11:12:06
Merry Christmas mate did you not get anything
My god your grumpy.
26 Dec 2018 11:13:57
Overall things are going well. I reckon we would be in a much better position if we hadn't lost a few to injuries. 👍.
26 Dec 2018 12:52:48
You slate Stevie G then you use his “lets go” phrase at the end of your post 🤔.
25 Dec 2018 16:04:30
Merry Xmas fellow Gers.
New to RR but been following for a while.
Glad to be on board!
25 Dec 2018 12:50:17
Anybody know if any of our players 1 yellow card away from suspension. Read that Jack a card away from 2 match ban, SG wants to protect him for Celtic game, and that is why not included in match squad at St Johnstone. If correct then he will not play against Hibs.
25 Dec 2018 13:14:23
He's also carrying a knock won't feature against hibs.
With Jack Arfield missing and coulibaly blowing hot and cold it's now or never for rossiter, until he gets a run of games then we're not going to know if he has put the injurys behind him and going to fulfil his potential.
25 Dec 2018 17:35:26
Utter rubbish Bankie. Suspension for bookings kicks in 14 days after booking.
25 Dec 2018 18:06:07
Jboy21, if judged by referee to have committed serious foul play the suspension is effective immediately.
25 Dec 2018 20:04:49
Only for red. U were talking about a yellow so u r wrong.
25 Dec 2018 20:25:43
Jboy21, my point is he is not being played because the manager is concerned he will be suspended and not available for Celtic. Happy Chistmas.
26 Dec 2018 00:25:25
Rossiter has to get his chance.
26 Dec 2018 11:14:55
Bankie simply was not fit. If played against st Johnston a booking would not of come into being till after Celtic game. Same with game at hibs.
25 Dec 2018 12:03:11
Merry Xmas to you all and all the best for the rest of the season whatever it brings I think sg will go with Andy Halliday at left back for the for the next few games at least I don't think Wallace is up to the fitness levels yet that will be required for these games.
25 Dec 2018 14:53:04
From what i recall wallace has been fit all season yet gerrard still chose to use players out of position and now a lack of players is forcing the gaffers hand. For a guy who has no future at the club he shouldn't even be considered for these 2 games and instead a younger player should be promoted.
25 Dec 2018 16:52:04
Rabc10000, with barisic out until after the winter break, the best left back available is without doubt lee wallace! So for me wallace has to play left back against the hivees and septic, simple as that! Into the bargain wallace is a good left back!
25 Dec 2018 10:56:08
Fellow Bears I wish each and every single one of you an amazing Xmas and hope we get all that we wish for in the year to come 💙💙.
25 Dec 2018 09:51:48
Merry Christmas to all on here. Throughout the year we see a mix of comments, some insightful, some funny, some just downright odd. What holds us together is our love of the greatest footballing institution there is. Wishing you all a happy, healthy and successful holiday season and 2019!
PS does anyone know if Ryan Hardie does his own calender? Asking for DOIGER 😉.
25 Dec 2018 11:35:00
I've already got it Snell! lol Have a great Xmas mate and roll on no. 55.
25 Dec 2018 12:50:35
I was wondeting if big Laff did a calendar for coldo?
26 Dec 2018 11:14:07
Tempting seeker👍.
25 Dec 2018 08:07:48
Lee wallace not even in the squad for the mara fs.
25 Dec 2018 08:49:25
The thought of Forrest vs Flanagan on the 29th doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence.
25 Dec 2018 09:26:27
Surely not mate? Where did you see this?
25 Dec 2018 09:40:53
Daily record revaleed squad. Fs flangan at lb will be a bomb scare.
25 Dec 2018 10:23:55
Ginga don't worry re squad, they just print a list of names, since gerrarrival we don't announce squads
Record includes mcauley jack Arfield who manager said won't be ready tomorrow
Wallace and rossiter involved tomorrow.
25 Dec 2018 06:45:18
Merry Christmas to all the rangers family. Hope the next 2 games we can take 6 points or 4 minimum.
25 Dec 2018 08:46:41
Merry Christmas to all fans everywhere, hope the right team turns up against Hibs and Tic and gives us all a belated Christmas present. Aye Ready.
