Pundit Simon Jordan has pitched a defence of Rangers after they were sanctioned by the Competition and Markets Authority for fixing the prices of certain club merchandise.

The CMA issued fines totalling at £2million to Rangers Football Club, Elite Sports and JD Sports after they were decided to have broken competition law when they fixed the retail prices of a number of Rangers-branded replica kits and other clothing products from September 2018 until at least July 2019.

The UK Government watchdog stated the Scottish Premiership side 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, with a £225,000 issued.

The sanctions were raised by Jim White on talkSPORT after all three parties admitted to acting illegally which helped "bring a swifter resolution to the CMA’s investigation." Former Crystal Palace owner Jordan admitted he could see "the flip side of the argument".
