Only sharing this info i've been told fellow bears by a long term rangers shareholder i know, who's in contact with a very prominent, former rangers director?He tells me that james bisgrove is in constant dialogue with massive italian sportswear giants macron about possibly replacing castore as our kit manufacturers one year early, of our original 5 year deal we signed with castore ? He says macron are desperate to become rangers new kit makers and money will be no object in dealing with castore if rangers possibly leave 1 year earlier?He also says macron will offer more money to rangers per season than adidas offer celtic and will want exposure everywhere on anything regarding rangers if the big money deal is signed between rangers and macron for them to become our new kit makers? Very interesting indeed and i'm only sharing this info with everyone on here because it's from a reliable guy i trust ? John27,have you heard anything on this mate and if not try and get some info from your sources mate to see if they've possibly heard this also ?.

Rangers r in discussions with a number off providers as less than two years left on deal.

I’d be surprised if Castore let us out of deal early, I see another court case being led by one off their key investors.

John27 if we are trying to find a better kit supplier and don't want castore anymore it might have something to do with fat boy Ashley being linked in with castore somehow, think he still has his claws in us somewhere.

John is Ashley the key investor of castore you are talking about? I don’t see how we would get out of any deal early.

I wonder if that's one of the main reasons that bisgrove may try and take rangers away from castore John27 ?.

Have you ever tried buying a gers top direct from Castore?
There sales and supply depts are a shambles.
3 times i ordered gers tops from them, they eithr lose the otder or never send them. Took a month to get response via email, and ages to get refunded.
Plenty fans at the gers club here in Melbourne were interested in tops from them, not anymore.
They could have made 100s of sales to Melbourne gers supporters club, average turnout for a live game is over 500 fans double that if its against them.
1st time i order a top from sports direct bang its here in a week, and half the price of castore, sooner we get them off our shirts the better, there an absolute mess of a company, lass in the email even had the cheek to say while finalising the refund, let us know if you need anymore rangers tops, lol, what? You can't even deliver one bam.

Macron are a decent brand and do some nice designs. They have a good Palace strip that would have made a cracking Gers top.

Could we stop this fellow bears pish? sounds like someone from Milngavie in a flowery dress started that. and it's berrs -Gers anyway, they probably call it footie as well .

Look at the reaction from Celtic fans regarding Adidas and their kits.

I hope we go with who ever pays us the most.

Never had any bother with anything I have ordered from Castore or the Rangers Shop . Good quality, no issues and arrives within the four or five days stated. All the kit is a massive improvement in all the cheap stuff we were getting the few years previously and if the money is right for the club I don`t see any reason to change, certainly not by trying to weedle out of the deal a year early.

Got quite a few of the Scotland rugby and Glasgow Warriors tops/ training gear which is made by Macron. Always found it really good quality. Wouldn’t be disappointed if they were our new kit supplier.

If this season is how castore will be going forward I have absolutely no issue for the next 2 seasons.

But the best kits going are, and always will be, kappa.

In terms of Investment, Ashley is not an Investor in Castore. The Issa Brothers are understood to be major investors along with Andy Murray.

Spot on CoplandFront5 ?I don't care who our kit makers are as it's all about who gives our club the most money? That's who we go with, simple as that for me?.

If they offer the most money that's where we'll go monty, common sense pal?Adidas and nike also make young boy's team's football kits, so what's your point.

Monty Lazio real Sociedad red star Belgrade not top flight but Birmingham and Stoke.
They make the referee kits for uefa.
Have a look instead of just ridiculing, the kits look like rally good quality.

Most Italian teams have their kits manufactured by either Puma, Adidas or Nike, and are still the major suppliers for football teams in Europe. As far as I know, Teams in the Americas including Brazil and the USA are with Nike.
At the end of the day the manufacturer is no big deal so long as the quality is there and the commercial return to Rangers is the best on offer.

I reckon that Castore will look to secure a rental of their deal with us. They are a respected label in other Sports and want to develop their name in Football; given their backers, they will want to keep the Rangers and Newcastle United Brands as their two flagship names as this gives them worldwide coverage.
