The administrators of Elite Sportswear Ltd are to proceed with a £9.5million legal case against Rangers over lost kit sales.
The exclusive brand partner of former kit manufacturers to the Ibrox club, Hummel, lodged court papers in November 2022 and a lawyer acting for the administrators of the Danish firm told judge Lord Braid on Thursday that it decided to press on with the case at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The case centres on claims that the Scottish Premiership side breached a contract which allowed the firm to provide the Glasgow team to provide it with kits.
Lawyers for Elite say the breach occurred when Rangers signed a deal with Castore. Elite Sportswear would go into administration shortly after the case called in Scotland’s highest civil court but after a virtual hearing advocate David Thomson KC told Lord Braid that the case would be pursued.
