# Rangers: James Bisgrove makes Castore claim

**Glasgow Rangers’ Commercial and Marketing Director James Bisgrove has revealed that the Gers are closing to selling 500,000 products in association with Castore.\**

### **Bisgrove discusses Castore**

Despite a few teething problems following the confirmation of their partnership last year – there were reports of kits arriving late ([Rangers News](https://www.rangersnews.uk/news/rangers-fans-rage-at-castore-home-kit-delivery-failings/)) and being damaged upon reaching their destination ([The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5892197/rangers-castore-strips-damaged-stole-hermes/)) – Rangers and Castore now appear to be working well together.

Bisgrove was speaking with Ross Wilson [during a Rangers webinar](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1383408654183931906) and he revealed just how well the agreement is going. He said:

> *“Ten months in, it’s been a remarkable period for us and Castore as an organisation.*
>
> *“The numbers in which merchandise has been bought through the official channels has been phenomenal. We’re close to half a million products being sold across strips, training wear, lifestyle, accessories and the champions collection of products.”*

### **Boost for Rangers**

The number revealed by Bisgrove is huge, especially in a season where they cannot have fans at Ibrox. Even if 500,000 purchases were made only of the cheapest product available on the club’s online store – an A5 notepad soft cover ([shop.rangers.co.uk](https://shop.rangers.co.uk/collections/gifts-souvenirs/?sort_by=price-ascending)) – that would still equate to a revenue of £1.28m. Obviously, the actual figure is going to be an awful lot higher than that.

As mentioned previously, there were initial concerns when the £25m deal was signed off ([The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/1815317/2020/05/17/rangers-kit-deal-castore-andy-murray/)), but now helped by the success of the Gers on the pitch, it appears to be a match made in heaven. The future looks bright for the 55-time Scottish champions.
