Rangers cinch boycott sparks fury as callers pile in with the same solution - Hotline

Rangers’ ongoing row with the SPFL over cinch’s sponsorship - leading to fears that the company will withhold some of its payments - hasn’t gone down well.

But, as usual, Hotliners have come up with what they believe is the ideal solution. If Rangers aren’t playing ball, don’t give them a penny was the theme of the day.

Richard Wharton, Carlisle, said: “What is it with Rangers? First they have a problem with BBC Scotland now with the League sponsors. Simple solution as I have said before, when prize money is given out, don’t give them any!”

Kenneth Houston emailed: “So Rangers did not want their manager to have an interview in front of a sponsors board, with cinch adverts. Now there is the possibility of cinch not paying all the sponsorship money. If Rangers don’t want to be seen advertising cinch, here’s a simple solution - pay out money to the other 41 clubs, and don’t pay anything to Rangers, call it a fine for failing to adhere to sponsorship requirements.”

Gerry Smith, from Glasgow, said: “Surely Rangers won’t be expecting any of the cinch money? That would be the ultimate brass neck, seeing as they are doing everything in their power NOT to publicise the company.”

Moving on, and there was the usual to-ing and fro-ing over the refereeing appointment for Sunday’s Old Firm clash.
