The Hong Kong partnership is the latest in several flourishing relationships with clubs across the globe and also aims to elevate the commercial benefits for Rangers Football Club.
Hong Kong Rangers are a well-established club having been founded in 1958 where they have won multiple honours including the Hong Kong First Division title once, the Senior Shield four times and the Hong Kong FA Cup twice.
Historical links already exist between the partnerships with Rangers legend, Willie Henderson, having played for the Hong Kong Club between 1974 and 1976, as well as other former players including Jim Forrest, Alex Willoughby and Billy Semple.
Additionally, in previous years, the club has sent former Rangers players and academy teams to participate in the Hong Kong Soccer Sevens that have been hosted by Hong Kong Rangers.
