Away from Rangers having confirm two players have been suspended, the club have recently revealed a stunning retro kit which is set to be worn this season, and will no doubt sell very well!
The Scottish Premiership club are experiencing one of their best campaigns yet, sitting top of the table and unbeaten in the league in thirteen matches.
They sit on 35 points, nine ahead of rivals Celtic who have two games in hand, but their form is rather bleak right now.
Rangers are also on fire in the Europa League right now, beating the likes of Lincoln Red Imps, Willem II, Galatasaray, Standard Liege and Lech Poznan.
Financially it’s been tough for many clubs, so once way to boost income is launching some retro kits along with their newest home and away strips.
Rangers said via their club website: Rangers and Castore are today delighted to unveil two very special retro kits that combine some of the most iconic elements from famous Rangers kits with a high-performance fabric to create a range that merges the best of tradition and modernity.
The kits, which will be worn by the men’s first team for a select number of games in the 2020/2021 season, have been inspired by some of the most famous shirts and players from Rangers’ illustrious history.
The shirts carry a large, woven scroll crest as a tribute to the classic kits that were worn in the 60s and 70s – in particular, the famous plain blue kit with a large scroll crest that was worn on that legendary night in Barcelona in 1972.
As a nod to our more recent success, the five stars which represent the club’s “First to Fifty” league titles achievement have been subtly placed on the back of the shirt and shorts.
The outfield shirt features a traditional collar which is reminiscent of the styles worn by some of the club’s earliest heroes such as David Meiklejohn and Alan Morton plus more recent Rangers Hall of Fame inductees such as Davie Cooper and Derek Parlane.
The goalkeeper kit is a vivid purple hue that has been inspired by some of the club’s memorable purple kits from the 90s.
