The Union of Fans, a coalition of Rangers supporters’ groups, have called on fans to stop buying club merchandise. They have got accountants to analyse the deal with Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct and they consider that it is highly unfavourable to the club.
According to their calculations only 75p of every £10 fans spend on merchandise goes to the club and Rangers received just £2,000 in the last six month accounting period.

If implemented, the ban would worsen the club’s already perilous financial position. Many fans are boycotting games and this is reflected in depleted attendances.
