Rangers announce new kit deal with Hummel

Rangers have announced a three-year kit deal with sports company Hummel.
The Danish sportswear firm will replace Puma and provide the Gers with three kits each season.
Gers said in a statement that they had conducted "an extensive tender process with more than 10 offers being received".
The company produced kits for the Danish national team for many years and have also previously supplied Hearts.
The deal with Puma was originally struck by former chief executive Charles Green but proved controversial. It was part of a retail agreement which earned the club just seven pence from every pound spent in club shops before it was renegotiated last year.
Sources close to the club suggest the new Hummel partnership will generate "two to three times" the sums currently being generated by Puma.
Rangers managing director, Stewart Robertson said: "We are delighted to announce that our new kit supplier from next season will be Hummel and we are sure the fans will love the design of the new shirts featuring the famous Hummel chevrons for the first time.
"We would also like to place on record our thanks to Puma for their support over the last few years."
