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 It is with regret that we have therefore rescinded our agreement with Rangers FC with immediate effect, due to the club being in material breach of contract.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.

No, when no guilt exists.
Scouts, churches, sports teams and organisations of every kind including football clubs were used by perverts for access to children. There’s no argument that Celtic boys club had a pervert running it. There’s little doubt that Celtic football club found out about it. They absolute should have gone to the police. So should anyone else who knew about it.
I’m sure some will argue that things were different then etc but it’s a pointless argument. It is being looked it through a 2020 lens (in both ways!) and it needs a 2020 response. There’s the legal complexities of who had corporate responsibility and that makes it difficult for the club to accept liability. As I understand it the protagonists were not employees of the club (I stand open to correction) so legally it’s not Celtics responsibility. But if there was knowledge of it and no action taken then morally celtic should seek to address it.
Football more widely needs to look at the whole issue. What happened at other clubs (acts committed by actual employees and discovered by the clubs) should be dealt with by those clubs and their associations also need to make amends.
Celtic need to be honest and open and deal with it.

To the general public , compensation implies guilt.
And that is precisely how the gloating MSM will report it .

Fiat justitia ruat caelum.

No argument from me on that .
Soro is injured.
BIG WAVY
There’s a surprise!
Phil bhoy – it would be good to get a look at Soro- it seems to be his natural position. I’m sure if he is up to speed and showing it in training he’ll get his chance. The post Broonie era is approaching and it would be good to get started on replacing him.
I’m expecting a tricky game tomorrow if we don’t score early on.
It’s a real ‘eyes on the prize’ game.
Ah well – that’s a post I could’ve saved myself some time on!
My money is on biton starting but I’d prefer Oli with Ryan christie playing the number 10
ROBERTTRESSELL
I don’t expect Killie will play a high press so we may need to be patient!
Forster
Simo, jules, Kris
Ntcham, Cal Mac, Christie, oh my days, Elyounoussi
French, Polish
But probably
Fraser
Oh my days, jules, Kris, boli
Oli, cal Mac, Forrest, elyonosi, christie

First name on Lenny’s team sheet will be J Hayes.
Although I do like your selection.

Patient? Celtic supporters? On the CQN updates?
That’s a big ask

I know!
But I couldn’t bring myself to do it!
I love Johnnys effort and pace and I think he had improved this season but he’s not my cup of tea
Time for Tom to return.
Hayes will be a cult hero when he quits the game.
Lovely guy. 100% every game and he will always have that goal at Ibrox (like his compatriot Byrne all those years ago)
Ernie.
Yep let the heavens fall..
A few cloud bursts since the 100p vendor parted the scene..

Macjay – it’s great that we could put Tom, Ryan or Ollie in that position and be confident in doing the business. There’s every chance we’ll see a very changed line up.
On the Hummel thing – any statements/ denials from Sevco yet?
They would have by now if there was no truth in it?
Have I missed anything?
I’m having visions of Sevco players training in their own gear because the club can’t provide it for them. No seeping jerseys after Braga because they only have enough to do them until May. Subs giving their jerseys to the player coming on for them because they don’t have enough tops to do them.
Either that or the fabulously over paid Jermaine Defoe turning out in a sondico top with an ironed on badge.
Back to Basics
‘Prize money only awarded for match results in group stages
Later prize money based on progression’
Thanks, I did not know that

Right, Afghan the rain shoals

Philbhoy
Aye. Came off injured in the reserve game. Worryingly for a few in attendence he was apparently awful.
Midfield 3 of Ntcham, Callum and Tam Rogic, with Moi out left getting more game time required. I’d play Frimpong at right wing tbh and rest Jamesey.

It’s not as simple as that.
If a court accepts that Celtic had a duty of care towards the victims (which would depend on the whole circumstances) and breached that duty of care then Celtic could be liable.
The existence of such a duty of care does not depend on the abusers being employed by the club.
ROBERTTRESSELL on 22ND FEBRUARY 2020 3:47 PM
Hayes .
Left winger for years for Aberdeen
Utility for Celtic. To his huge credit. Bet he doesn`t moan.
Saw his goal against the hun In the Bangkok CSC.
Unforgettable . ” We have lift off ” .
Interesting to see who Lennie decides on tomorrow .
Marvellous options at his disposal .
MACJA!
He’s away te the shoaps.
Sorry, MACJAY1
I hope to God that both Deontay and Tyson get out of that ring alive.
I’m gonnae watch it. I stopped watching boxing seriously efter the Gerald McClellan fight.
When Broonie was injured last time around we played some free flowing football with CalMac in the quarterback role, with Edouard as a number 10, Griffiths at centre forward and Ntcham and Rogic in a diamond.
We won our first away game of the season in October 2018 6-0 at St Johnstone cutting Hearts, yes Hearts lead at the top of the table to three points after they got gubbed at the Bigot Dome

RobinBhoy,
Callum was exceptional against a cracking RB Leipzig side when our Leader of Men wiz oot.
We are Blessed to have such AWEsome players.
Opportunity arises every time a dude gets injured.
Hibs 1 up Livi. Hope Livi get knocked out of top 6 or else we are likely to have to play on their plastic 3 times.
Basics.
Aye tough.
Ian mcgeechan in tv studio!, whit a waste.
Geech!! Yer country needs ye.

Time for Tom to return.

Makes sense. And drop Cal deeper or play Bitton in Brown role.
some more keen than ithers…………
to definitively deliver responsibility to our door…………..
Tell ye what…..
I’m confident that Scotland will now step-up here.
It’s that important, isn’t it?
Confident.
