The Rangers Football Club Limited (‘Rangers’) confirms that it has today received a Statement of Objections (‘SO’) from the Competition and Markets Authority (‘CMA’) which sets outs the CMA’s preliminary findings in relation to its investigation into the pricing of Rangers-branded replica football kit between September 2018 and November 2018.
The SO represents the CMA’s provisional view only. It is not a finding that Rangers has broken the law and does not mean that the CMA will issue a final decision or impose a fine on Rangers.
Rangers is committed to operating its business in full compliance with all laws, including competition law, and treats this matter very seriously. As such, Rangers will review in detail the CMA’s preliminary findings and will be submitting its response to the CMA in due course. Rangers notes that it has cooperated with the CMA since the investigation was initiated and will continue to do so.
