Rangers’ kit retailer Castore have released a range of new products but many of the club’s fans have been voicing frustrations over pricings and designs.
The biggest issues appear to concern the fact that many still haven’t had previous orders delivered, the colours used and in the design.
The first is a t-shirt celebrating Kemar Roofe’s wonder-goal from his own half in the 2-0 win over Standard Liege.
Roofe, 27, held off a number of Liege players, showing strength and balance to control the ball past them before knocking it around another opponent.
With the goalkeeper slightly off his line and Roofe just over 54 yards from goal, the ex-Anderlecht and Leeds United striker let rip with a stunning strike in a rain-soaked night in Belgium.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard described it as the “best goal I have ever seen live” in a monumental compliment from the ex-Liverpool and England skipper.
Now, Castore have unveiled a new t-shirt which pays tribute to the strike on the online Rangers shop.
The design – which includes an image of Roofe connecting with the ball and the slogan THE ROOFE IS ON FIRE – is available in either a hoodie (black or grey £50) or a t-shirt (black or white £30).
Rangers have also released a stylish new “blackout collection” which is a range of black t-shirts being sold in the lifestyle section.
Many of the club’s supporters believe much of the merchandise is over-priced and have been sending frustrated messages on Twitter.
Other’s have been asking for why they’re launching new products when they haven’t fulfilled orders from weeks ago.

Whilst the club is certainly making money with Castore there is growing frustration about the regularity of new items which are not traditionally Rangers related and which are over-priced.
It’s not the first time in recent weeks Castore have come in for criticism from Rangers fans either – the retailer was heavily criticised for releasing a maroon Rangers hoodie for £170.
