Hummel UK and The Elite Group issued a statement today noting they were rescinding their agreement with Rangers FC [sic.] with immediate effect, “due to the club being in material breach of contract.” They add that they have commenced legal proceedings against the club.
The statement reads:
“Hummel UK & The Elite Group was proud to have entered into a supplier agreement with Rangers Football Club in good faith in March 2018. We saw this as an opportunity to work together for the benefit of the club, its supporters and the Hummel brand.
“However, despite being given warranties and assurances by the Rangers board that the club was free to enter into their arrangement, it transpired that Rangers had previously signed a conflicting agreement with a third party.
“The club has therefore been unable to fulfil its obligations to Hummel & The Elite Group, which would have included the creation of a Hummel branded area within the Ibrox Megastore, along with crucial marketing activity such as perimeter advertising, player activations, and promotion on the Rangers FC website.
“Hummel UK & The Elite Group has nonetheless made payments to Rangers totalling c. £2.5m and supplied kit worth approximately £1m. Despite doing all of this in good faith, we are now facing some public statements from Rangers which are not correct.
“We have been unable to find a way forward despite making repeated efforts to reach out to the club. It is with regret that we have therefore rescinded our agreement with Rangers FC with immediate effect, due to the club being in material breach of contract.
“We remain willing to try and resolve matters with Rangers FC on an amicable basis. Contrary to reports, Rangers is not owed any further payments from Hummel UK & The Elite Group at this time and we are disappointed by Rangers’ decision to commence legal proceedings in respect of these issues. Those proceedings will not result in any payment to Rangers and are an unwelcome and unnecessary distraction for the club, its fans and Hummel.
“We have now begun our own legal proceedings against Rangers which we are very confident will result in a positive outcome so we can all move forward.”
This afternoon, Newco Rangers online store’s is selling Puma produced replica shirts from the 2017-18 season.
Next week, I plan to discuss financial matters with significant consequences for Newco. They should not get too excited about the prospect of two Scottish entrants to the Champions League in 2021.
Also, I have had the statement since before 10:00 this morning (been in meetings since). Curious that it has not been carried by the mainstreams.

Good shout re Ajer.
I’d love to see him get a run in midfield!
Jonny Hayes is a valuable squad member. Jonny did alright the other night, like he did away to Lazio.
Thought Hayes was good on Thursday ,

First name on Lenny’s team sheet will be J Hayes.
Nope , it will be James Forrest ..
but it will be written with invisible ink 😜
Man citeh – who came up with the rocket lolly strip
BIG WAVY
Agree, no Hayes . Offers absolutely nothing .
GENE
He was out of position when pass was played through for goal, as he was already pushing forward. But then again he’s not a full back and the £3m signing is deemed not good enough
St Tams
I’m sure it was ntcham who was at fault for their goal – but it was because Johnny pushed up
Agree about boli
We need 2 solid full backs out there playing. Where the eff is big Tam?
And on the left I’m not convinced by either Taylor nor Boli.
Jonny is neither a LB nor a good left winger.
El Hamed has been out for a very long time.
I hope his leg transplant is coming on.
The trainers introduced @ aboot 43 minutes. Well worth listening to.

Cracker.
Wow if olde El Hamed is back in contention. What a player.
Philboy, makes you wonder why he was signed. Excellent fullback, but seldom fit.
Tomorrow is our 28th league game of the season.
El Hamed has played in 4 of them.
His last league game was 22nd September 2019.
Feckin shocking.
We get no info from the club re injured players, which I can understand if they are out short term.
However, El Hamed is pushing 6 months.
WTF is wrong with him?
Big wavy
And the more he misses the better he becomes
On the subject of El Hamed, I met an Israeli on holiday, in July last year.
A lovely guy.
He said El Hamed was a great player and rarely injured.
Are we being criminally kicked off the park?
El Hamed stretched too much in a game against a highly motivated Serie A team.
He done Everything he could that night. He’ll be Bach soon, and even better.
Apparently Keating appeal is because tribunal failed to implement duties. They make it up as they go along – maybe another look at throat slitting and gun shooting wouldn’t go amiss
Man city get a Var penalty – similar incident to Leicester who didn’t.
Saved – justice done
When I say justice done – should both have been penalties
Sorry ‘both should’
As far as the pretty disgusting sensationalism drip feed of clues by alex thompson at celtic park …really?
I will watch it of course and with an open mind.
However channel four news really do not have the credibility they think they have.
My tv highlight of last year was when Jordan Peterson handed Kathy Newman her arse on a plate when she tried to make him out to be some kind of racist.
That was her agenda ,,,it backfired in a massive way.
It appears that celtic football club being a swamp of a pedo ring is next weeks agenda.
I hope the lawyers of our great club are watching very closely.
BIG WAVY on 22ND FEBRUARY 2020 6:37 PM
Yep…Feckin shocking for us. Feel sorry for him as he played 26 out of 36 for HBS last season …Not sure what u are suggestin.

Very good post!
I’m sure our legal retainers are fully aware.
Jesus scores
Deontay must have wan of the most Incredible punches ever. He is so packed for that right punch.
I think Tyson will this Time knock oot the Mega Bomber.
These are Crazy Crazy Crazy days!!!!
QQ – no way Jose.
Neil Francis Lennon – oor Leader.
Lazydynamite
Truth on ALL cases for ALL clubs will come out. That’s already happening despite finger pointing at us. Tho’ not by Scum Media.
HH
Lenny will go for Every Trophy. It is human nature, well to an absolute Winner like him.
The QQ would be off the scale in Celtic folklore.

ADI_DASSLER on 22ND FEBRUARY 2020 7:20 PM
Your are correct.
One thing about all these cases is that all the clubs seemed to have been guilty of self preservation and keeping it as quiet as possible.
In every country in has been the same.
It is how it was dealt with back in the day unfortunately.
To pick out Celtic F.C is completely unfair unless they have some proof that we acted in a worse way than all the others.
I will watch the report and see what they have to say.
However to me this is just going to give all the ‘people’ and ‘clubs’ who have an axe to grind with us fuel for their fires.
Child abuse is a serious issue and If Celtic fc are guilty of something sinister here then it deserves to be exposed.
But for me,why now…whats the agenda here?
There are so many stories waiting for proper exposure on this issue.
Alex Thompson would be better looking into his fellow tv peers like philip schofield and his relationship with a young boy who he then employed as a runner on his tv program ‘this morning’?
Or indeed HRH the Queens favourite son?
Perhaps the BBC?
Perhaps the former prime minister Ted Heath and his ‘one way’ yacht trips?
Thinking oot loud there is nae way Tyson can avoid that punch for the 12 rounds.
If Tyson is TRUE to his Word. He is going after Deontay, massive gamble.
If Ever there was a place to gie oot misinfo it is when 2 of the baddest (Good Dudes really,IMO) asses on the planet go toe to toe.
Speak the Truth….
What a Revolutionary act.
Lazydynamite…
Agree..re your other stuff….we would need to meet as I have strong opinions but I dont think its for here IMO as I discuss with my mates.
One thing ..IMO Channel 4 are better than BBC & ITV, SKY
HH
Good luck to the Celts tomorrow. Nothing else matters in 2020, only league points count.
2341 is the new 21421, so we rely on Chris and Kris to hold it together. They’ll be fine and we’ve taken the opposition by surprise. It’s a home game no more defending.
Captain McGregor, Ntcham and Bitton to form an impregnable wall from where we launch Mbombo, Frimpong, Forrest and Christie in support of French Eddy.
Score prediction, doesn’t matter to me. I’ll be in 143 at the end of the game thanking our players.
Celtic forever.
Mbombo?
Jonny Hayes…first name on the team sheet
PHILBHOY-maybe you could give El hamed your surgeons number 😉

This will be a targeted show aimed at Celtic and Celtic alone.
It is unfair to single Celtic out but this is what is going to happen. They will bad mouth everyone at the club, the Boys club coaches and officials, the Football club directors then and now, the clubs players and the whole staff. Finally, they will rubbish the Fans.
The clue is in the twitters photo of the stadium and the second tweat about “silence”.
The timing is curious but rest assured it will targeted to drag our club into the mud. Thompson is a hack and is no friend of ours
