JD Sports and Elite Sports have confessed to "cartel activity" in illegally fixing the retail prices of a number of Rangers-branded replica kits and other clothing products, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has said.
The watchdog said the price fixing took place from September 2018 until at least July 2019.
It added that Rangers also took part in the alleged collusion but "only to the extent" of fixing the retail price of adult home short-sleeved replica shirts from September 2018 to at least mid-November 2018.
