Cinch and Park’s football naming row in court
29 September 2021
Scottish Premiership champions Rangers continue to refuse Cinch branding on team shorts or advertising boards despite the BCA-owned retailer signing an £8m, five-year package with the Scottish Professional Football League in June.
Douglas Park is Rangers chairman – and owns Park’s of Hamilton, one of Scotland’s largest private retailer groups.
Mr Park believes the SPFL deal breaches a commercial arrangement between his retailer and Rangers. He won a legal ruling stopping arbitration proceedings to resolve the situation. The dispute is currently being heard in the courts.
