Rangers news as SPFL legal row still on way despite Douglas Park development
Rangers and the SPFL are still heading for a new legal row with Loch Lomond Group despite Douglas Park stepping down from his position at Ibrox, according to the Scottish Daily Mail.
The club confirmed on Tuesday (4 April) that Park would be standing down from his role at the club after nearly three years leading the Scottish giants.
However, the Scottish Daily Mail (5 April, page 70) has reported that John Bennett’s promotion to become the new chairman hasn’t changed the new legal row over a second sponsorship deal with the producers of Glen’s Vodka.
They wrote: “As Sportsmail exclusively revealed last week, Rangers and the SPFL are heading for a new legal row over a second sponsorship deal with the Loch Lomond Group, producers of Glen’s Vodka.
“Bennett’s promotion won’t change that situation one iota.
“For Rangers, the familiar figure on the bridge has changed. Not so the course being navigated.”
Change
The Ibrox faithful have been calling for change for quite some time now, and it seems like their messages have finally been taken on board.
Although Park wasn’t the root of all of Rangers’ problems, change at the top of the club can only bode well for what is to come.
Such a change at the top of the club will hopefully set up Michael Beale and Ross Wilson for a productive summer transfer window, with multiple first-team stars running out of contract at the end of the season.
The likes of Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor and Ryan Jack’s futures all remain in doubt, and those at the top of the club will be busy trying to secure all of their futures – be it at Ibrox or elsewhere.
The alteration at the top of the club seems to have come a little late for this newest legal row with the Loch Lomond Group though, and hopefully, it won’t have drastic implications in the future.
It seems for Rangers, it never rains, it pours.
In other Rangers news, another Ibrox exit may be on the cards after a major revelation last week which could force the clubs to part ways with a senior player.
