Rangers to wear special jersey versus Dundee in League Cup tie

RANGERS home jersey will look slightly different tonight when they host Dundee at Ibrox.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men are in quarter-final action in the Premier Sports Cup. 

The Light Blues will be aiming to join Kilmarnock in the last four of the competition.

And for tonight, the club will not display their main sponsor's logo on the front of their shirts.

32Red Online Casino have sponsored the front of Rangers' shirts for several years.

However, as part of Safer Gambling Week, the Ibrox club will drop the gambling company from their jersey this evening.

32Red is part of the Kindred Group, whose Zero % Mission campaign is geared towards the goal of zero percent of its revenue being generated from harmful gambling by the end of 2023.

Instead of displaying 32Red on the front of their shirts, the Rangers players will wear a top with the Zero % Mission branding emblazoned on it.

Commercial and marketing director James Bisgrove said: "Rangers will continue to work closely with Kindred Group and provide strong partnership support to deliver on its industry-leading safer gambling initiatives and wider strategy.

"Replacing 32Red, the Rangers first team will wear the 'Zero % Mission' logo on the home kit for this week's Premier Sports Cup Quarter Final.

"The first team will also promote 'Team Talk' - a mental health initiative run in conjunction with Rangers Charity Foundation, during the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Napoli.’’

The UK general manager for Kindred Group, Neil Banbury, added: "We’re committed to implementing a new kind of sponsorship model together with the clubs and communities we support.

"As we enter Safer Gambling Week, it’s a good time to reflect on the continued progress we have made in terms of protecting customers, as well as the improvements we continue to make through advances in our technology and processes.

"We are on a journey and still have further to go, but we are confident that our approach is delivering results."

Safer Gambling Week runs from October 17 to October 23.
