So if i buy it from the sports direct website, does the money go to the charity foundation? Would quite like to be 100% sure first!

I can't see anything on the Sports Direct site to indicate that any money goes to the Rangers Charity Foundation. And there's no mention of the pink top on the Rangers Charity Foundation site. So I would be very wary.

I'll definitely be waiting to find out if the money goes to them first!

I see they've got a "Rangers shower jacket" going cheap (not pink though). You could always buy that, then donate the other £15 directly to the charity foundation

Whilst this idea is laudable and I have no truck with anyone who wishes to support it, there is a part of me as an old dinosaur

who yearns for a return to the times when;

Football was played on a Saturday at 3pm

We wore a blue jersey with no badge or sponsor's name, white shorts and black and red socks

Kids could get lifted over the turnstile by a stranger and not be in fear of molestation

A wee guy would walk around the terraces selling macaroon bars and spearmint chewing gum (never did understand the connection)

You could change ends at half time i.e. walk from one end of the ground to the other.

Men could have a beer inside the ground via a cairry oot (although that did impose risk either by using empty cans as piss pots or projectiles)

Your Saturday sports radio coverage began at 4.10pm on BBC Radio Scotland with commentary on the last 30 minutes of a game by David Francey followed by the results show presented by Roy Small. There were no radio phone ins to induce paranoia.

You bought your pink Saturday Evening Times and/or Green Evening Citizen both of which carried every score and up to date match reports.

You had Scotsport and Sportsreel grainy TV footage with one camera angle and no action replay and presenters,Arthur Montford and Archie McPherson who had a telephone on their desks whcih they had to use live on air if there was a problem showing the footage ( You Tube Archie doing this and getting a bollocking from his producer whilst trying to remain calm on air it's a game involving Gers v Sheep)

You watched the footy on Saturday went to work on Monday and were not caught up in the hype/paranoia of radio phone ins alleging conspiracies,bias, corruption etc.

There were no shady owners putting clubs into adminstration or demise (save Third Lanark where all lessons should have been learned)

Players earned a bit more than the average working man but not that much that it turned them into the celebrity and sometimes out of control specimens which exist today.

We had players who would have beaten the likes of Belgium as a matter of routine.

Whilst I am fully supportive of all charity towards cancer, donate in your own way. I don't see this need for a public show of pink this or that.

Maybe I am just melancholy for times gone past, or maybe I am just disillusioned with today's society.

Regardless, my Dad and my Uncle were great Rangers' supporters and both died of cancer. They would be very supportive of any effort to help erradicate this disease but within my heart deep down they would not wish to see their beloved club stray from it's traditions.

In other words the cause may be pink but the colour remains true blue.

l have to agree,pink ribbon on the blue shirt is ample contribution for a great cause :crab1:(tu)

I like the idea, but £39.99?!! The normal home shirt costs less than that. If it were a good price id buy it since its for charity but I can afford to pay 40 quid for a top im only going to wear a couple of times.

It would be good if they brought the pink top out in kids sizes id love to get one for my daughter.

Are the team going to be wearing it in the game against Clyde then on the 27th? If the awareness day is 26th

You would think they would be.

It's an actual strip top, same material and crest and umbro design. It'd be a nice touch in my opinion.

Foundation Is In The Pink! Written by Neil Smith


dd8717d03149543c5feef7a66595fa19_XL.jpg

RANGERS Football Club and Sportsdirect.com have launched a limited edition pink shirt in support of the Rangers Charity Foundation.

The striking pink shirts replicate the design of the Rangers replica shirt design for this season and are available in a variety of adult sizes for men and women.

There are only 5,000 shirts available and £15 from the sale of each shirt will be donated to the Rangers Charity Foundation in support of its fantastic work in Glasgow, across Scotland and throughout the world.

The initiative has the potential to raise £75,000 in support of the Rangers Charity Foundation and comes thanks to a generous agreement between the Club and Sportsdirect.com to back the work of the Foundation in this way.

The shirt launch is a great cash boost for the Foundation as it celebrates a decade of charitable giving and it is hoped that the shirt will be a big hit with fans who can wear them with pride.

The limited edition shirts are an exciting first for the Foundation and they are guaranteed to make you stand out in a crowd!

During the last 10 years over £2.5 million in both cash and in-kind support has been donated making dozens of inspirational projects a reality, from health centres in some of Togo’s poorest communities and specialist facilities in Glasgow for teenagers with cancer to Braille books for Scotland’s blind children and life-improving nebulisers for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

One of the projects benefitting from the sale of the limited edition shirts will be The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice after the Foundation recently announced a landmark partnership with the Hospice to raise £100,000 towards a new palliative care facility which will be built on a proposed site within Bellahouston Park.

Rangers Chief Executive, Charles Green has been delighted to give this new fundraising activity his full support and said, “I know that this initiative has been a year in the planning, and, although it has been a difficult year for everyone connected with Rangers Football Club there is absolutely no doubt that the spirit of our supporters, including their charitable spirit, has been incredible.

The Rangers Charity Foundation is a vital and cherished part of the Club’s spirit and activity and this initiative demonstrates the Club’s continuing appreciation of the wonderful work that the Foundation does.”

The Club would also like to express their thanks to Tennents’ for agreeing to remove their branding from the shirts in favour of the Rangers Charity Foundation.

The limited edition shirts in a variety of men’s and women’s sizes are priced at £39.99 and are available to buy from the Rangers Megastore from 9am tomorrow (Friday 19 October) and online at sportsdirect.com.

So no mention if the will be wearing it. What does the other £25 go to if it's not going to charity?
