Rangers have been granted unprecedented permission by the Scottish FA to take the SPFL to court as they seek an apology and legal costs over the cinch sponsorship dispute.


The long-running row between the league’s governing body and the Ibrox club stems from the title sponsorship agreement that SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster signed with cinch in June 2021.
Rangers successfully argued that an existing contract agreement they held with Park’s Motor Group prohibited them from providing cinch with advertising inventory, with that contention being ratified between the parties in April last year.


Subsequently, that July, the court of session awarded an interlocuter in favour of Park’s, confirming the legal status of the exclusivity provision in their pre-existing contract with Rangers.


The contract with cinch was then revised to absolve Rangers from any obligation to provide the online car retailer with advertising space at Ibrox, with Doncaster commenting at the time: “Under the terms of the revised cinch contract, Rangers are no longer required to participate by providing the sponsorship inventory that they have so far not provided, whilst, crucially, the overall income to Scottish football is expected to remain materially unchanged over the original five-year term of the sponsorship.”

Herald Sport understands that at the time of the ratification of the Park’s contract, the SPFL indicated they would provide an apology to Rangers and Park’s Motor Group and consider paying the legal expenses incurred by the club in contesting their position.


However, no such apology nor financial compensation has been forthcoming, leading the Rangers board to lose patience with the SPFL, and they are now ready to launch legal proceedings imminently with the blessing of the Scottish FA.


It is understood that if a statement including a formal apology and costs are offered to Rangers, they will be happy to finally draw a line under this particular matter, but such a public climbdown would prove embarrassing to Doncaster and may lead to questions around his handling of the deal from stakeholders.


With legal expenses already running into hundreds of thousands of pounds for both the SPFL and Rangers, the dispute over the deal – worth roughly £1.5m a season - may end up ultimately costing the league a hugely significant portion of that revenue.

They can’t touch that, it belongs to the clubs. If they lose they will have to find the money from elsewhere.

Just another example of Scottish Football underselling the brand!!

The brand is seen as shit. Guys on here who never watch a fucking game, can tell you how bad it is. Amazing sensory capabilities to know without seeing.

When you have us receiving under £4m for winning the Treble, it tells you all you need to know about how shit it is. There is no real way to generate sufficient income. What fucks me off, is we pay the same rates as England if you’re a Sky Mug and we actually subsidise their league.

Fucking pub teams down there could buy and sell us.

IPTV loyal lol

I totally agree with your comments. I laugh everytime Jason Cundy has a dig. Who the fuck is he?

The list of leagues around Europe with more lucrative TV deals than Scotland is frightening

 

[Magicpole]

This aged well and for me sums up the insanity of the Gers, when coming up with how much their players are worth. Pick a number and keep a straight face. ;) Bless.

Ok I watched that but just double checking. Did McCoist say Kent is worth £25-£30 million? Start of last season?

Ffs Ene Aluko levels of mentalism

Aye. A tad ambitious. Bottom
Line is we can drag numbers out our collective arses, but at the end of the day, that can cost us. No way was he worth half that, but getting your money back might have been done. If any club, and I don’t know if any actually made a single offer, we’re quoted that kind of money, they would have laughed like donkeys.

What are the odds on Rangers this year? Are they going to give the bhoys a challenge?

 

[No.8]

Leeds offered something around £11-£14 million with a couple of years to go on contract

Lille offered £16 million for Morelos around the same time (after 55)

But Slippy G said no to selling our sellable assets then proceeded to get pumped out Champions League qualifiers by Malmo costing the club possibly £40-£50 million between prize money / player sales. He then had the sheer audacity to complain the board weren’t backing him.

I’m not sure watching that clip how serious McCoist is. I know he’s not that daft to believe that valuation

They’ll certainly be closer but it’s a strange season with both clubs going through a certain amount of upheaval

Celtic should be short odd favourites

Every club has done that at some time.
It is like they never learn.
Morelos should have been sold straight away once a decent bid came in.By decent I mean 9 million.
For some reason Rangers could not see him for the prick he was.It was obvious that they overvalued him.
Kent as well his form dipped dramatically after the title winning season.
Both should have been punted after the champions league exit and some were even suggesting Kent for England.
Both only turned up at Tynecastle for some reason much to my annoyance.lol
They got rid of two better players for good money so I do not understand them turning down offers for those two.

You say sell him for £9 million and we know Lille bid £16 million.

Kent was excellent in Euro games but I don’t know anyone who thought he was good enough for England. Obviously you’ll get the odd idiot. There were a couple of injuries for Englands right backs and Tav was mentioned on Talksport Ffs. Right back is one of Englands strongest positions. Walker , Reece James, TTA and Trippier of the top of my head

The point is Slippy G blocked these sales then moaned there was no money.

We did sell Bassey and Patterson for £30+ million which was amazing business

 

[No.8]

Sima signed on season long loan. Hopefully sorts out our ongoing wide right attacking problems

As things stand we have Roofe, Wright, Hagi, Matondo, Sima , Lammers, Sakala, Colak and offers in for Dessers and Danillo. We seriously need to off load at least 2 or 3 attacking options

What about the clip where slippy said.

“We’ve only had one offer for Alredo and that was for €300,000”.

If you were offered that money he would have been off. Fantasy island indeed.

Ehhhh the Lille Chairman was on the radio saying £16 million was their final offer.

Now I listened to the Lille chairman live on the radio

Who to believe the guy making the bid or some random on a football forum . Aye it’s a toughy right enough

Less than a minutes google search

Lille confirm £16m Morelos bid
Lille president Gerard Lopez has confirmed the club did put in a £16m bid for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.

You’re having a fucking nightmare

Slippy said that. And what a fucking disaster if you had £16m for that wee Ned and you knocked it back. Beamer. Keep that type of business up, where you believe your own hype about players values and hold out for it. Never to arrive.

You’ve cheered me up more than you know.

There is no ‘IF’. It’s there in black and white and Gerard said no!

I know it’s poor business.

There is the difference. I’m willing to accept my own clubs failings. Shame you can’t see your clubs failings
