Celtic title win avoided Rangers 'nuclear option' legal action as top flight clubs feared cinch contract tear up

Celtic’s Scottish Premiership title win avoided the prospect of cinch tearing up their SPFL sponsorship deal over their Rangers row in a move that could have seen top flight clubs take group legal action against the Ibrox club, according to a bombshell report.

The former champions have been at war with the league governing body over the contract, worth around £1.6 million a season split between the 42 SPFL clubs, which they claim is in breach of their existing deal with chairman Douglas Park’s rival car dealership.

Rangers have always maintained they expressed their concerns before the deal was signed and the matter has been taken to court.
