RANGERS have been fined alongside JD Sports and Elite Sports by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) after being found guilty of price fixing on official merchandise.
An investigation found that Elite Sports and JD Sports broke competition law by fixing the retail prices of a number of Rangers-branded replica kits and other clothing products from September 2018 until July 2019.
The Ibrox club also took part in the collusion but only to the extent of fixing the retail price of adult home short-sleeved replica shirts from September 2018 to mid-November 2018. All 3 firms colluded to stop JD Sports from undercutting the retail price of the shirt on Elite’s Gers Online store.
