Another court case.

 

Rangers have been granted unprecedented permission by the Scottish FA to take the SPFL to court as they seek an apology and legal costs over the cinch sponsorship dispute.


The long-running row between the league’s governing body and the Ibrox club stems from the title sponsorship agreement that SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster signed with cinch in June 2021.
Rangers successfully argued that an existing contract agreement they held with Park’s Motor Group prohibited them from providing cinch with advertising inventory, with that contention being ratified between the parties in April last year.


Subsequently, that July, the court of session awarded an interlocuter in favour of Park’s, confirming the legal status of the exclusivity provision in their pre-existing contract with Rangers.


The contract with cinch was then revised to absolve Rangers from any obligation to provide the online car retailer with advertising space at Ibrox, with Doncaster commenting at the time: “Under the terms of the revised cinch contract, Rangers are no longer required to participate by providing the sponsorship inventory that they have so far not provided, whilst, crucially, the overall income to Scottish football is expected to remain materially unchanged over the original five-year term of the sponsorship.”

Herald Sport understands that at the time of the ratification of the Park’s contract, the SPFL indicated they would provide an apology to Rangers and Park’s Motor Group and consider paying the legal expenses incurred by the club in contesting their position.


However, no such apology nor financial compensation has been forthcoming, leading the Rangers board to lose patience with the SPFL, and they are now ready to launch legal proceedings imminently with the blessing of Peter Lawwell.

Just now, Drew Brees said:

You omitted a bit…

 

It is understood that if a statement including a formal apology and costs are offered to Rangers, they will be happy to finally draw a line under this particular matter, but such a public climbdown would prove embarrassing to Doncaster and may lead to questions around his handling of the deal from stakeholders.


With legal expenses already running into hundreds of thousands of pounds for both the SPFL and Rangers, the dispute over the deal – worth roughly £1.5m a season - may end up ultimately costing the league a hugely significant portion of that revenue.

 

Thank you Drew, it's all those adverts that you get on articles, easy to miss bits.

Take the hint.

If they’ve not replied by now then it’s a no.

I'm no legal expert, but it seems "Sorry, we've considered it, and we're paying f**k all" should cover the bases there

[AJF]

I thought we’d seen the back of this. Just draw a line under it and move on. Very tiresome.

[steelmen]

So if Rangers lose, they will need to pay their own court costs and possibly the SPFL's?

is it really worth £100-200k?

All they want is a very public climb down from Doncaster so that they can use it as evidence of ‘bias’ among the idiots that follow them. The whole carry on was previously sorted to the satisfaction of all parties, including a sponsor putting in good dough and not getting what they were told they would get for it, and yet this mob are still ranting on about public apologies.

It’s not to do with bias, it’s incompetence. Rangers have always suggested incompetence rather than anything else. Not sure where you got bias from.

^^ Incompetence on Sevco's part, I'll take that.

Much as I dislike Sevco, it appears that the root cause of this is the failure of the SPFL Board to understand their own rules.  Also fairly incompetent of them not to spot that there would be an obvious issue with a conflict between Cinch and a main Sevco sponsor.  Another triumph for Doncaster....
