32Red extend Rangers deal; Liga Stavok win Russian football bid

Online gambling operator 32Red has extended its sponsorship ties to Scottish footballers Glasgow Rangers for another two years.

On Wednesday, Rangers management announced that the team had extended its current shirt sponsorship deal with 32Red for a further two seasons. 32Red, which is now part of the Kindred Group, has had its logo on Rangers’ kit since 2014.

Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson said the Scottish Premiership mainstays had fielded a number of offers to take over the shirt sponsorship but the club opted to stay with 32Red. Robertson said 32Red “have been with Rangers every step of the way as we progressed from the lower leagues back to the top flight” and the club hopes to build on this association in the next two years.

In other sponsorship news, Sky Betting & Gaming has inked a three-year deal to become the new official betting and gaming partner of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The deal will offer Sky Bet a variety of branding options both on the club’s Headingley grounds as well as via its digital channels.
