It’s an incredible figure and with Champions products selling well and new kits for the 2021/22 season set to be released in the coming months, Castore have confirmed that they are expanding their operation.
New stores are set to open in Belfast and at Glasgow Airport.
‘Both the club and Castore are well aware of the demand from the thousands of incredibly loyal Rangers supporters in Northern Ireland, and we are delighted to be bringing an official club store to a prominent location in Belfast City Centre in the very near future.’
‘As the world begins to open up again, and supporters join the team on a gripping Champions League journey next season, an official club store will open within club partner Glasgow Airport, too.
‘All stores will be stocked for the launch of the brand new Castore Rangers kits for the 2021-22 season.’
It has also been confirmed that the existing stores at Ibrox and Buchanan Galleries will reopen on 26th April, when restrictions ease.
It’s excellent news for supporters based in Northern Ireland that an official club shop will open in the capital and it’ll be interesting to see what site has been chosen.
Meanwhile, the long-overdue return of a store to Glasgow Airport will ensure that Celtic are no longer the only Scottish club represented there.
In other news, a big announcement has been made which constitutes a ‘major boost’ for Rangers and other Premiership clubs.
