Rangers and Mike Ashley High Court merchandise deal fight finishes

The latest round of a long-running fight between Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley and Rangers bosses has concluded at the High Court in London.

Judge Lionel Persey finished overseeing the latest in a series of hearings in London on Thursday.

He is expected to publish a ruling in the near future.

Lawyers representing a company in the Sports Direct Group, SDI Retail Services, say Rangers bosses are in breach of obligations under a deal relating to replica kit.

The Ibrox side disputes the claims made against them.

Rangers lost a round of the fight in October.

Another judge ruled Rangers had breached the terms of an agreement made with SDI.

Mr Justice Teare concluded bosses at Rangers had made a new agreement with another firm without giving SDI a chance to match that firm's offer.

SDI has subsequently made further complaints.
