KIT CLASH
‘Leaked’ new Rangers Umbro kit emerges online as fans split over design and say ‘bland’ and ‘rotten’
The design had a mixed reaction from fans despite seeming to be based on a retro number
ONLY five games now remain for Rangers in a season they'll want to quickly forget.
Barry Ferguson's men went out of the Europa League to Athletic Bilbao on Thursday and are long gone in the Scottish Cup, so it's just their post-split Premiership matches before their campaign is done.

That means these are the last few games for Rangers in their current array of kits - and already a potential leak of one of next season's shirts is circling on X, formerly Twitter.
The unconfirmed design is for Gers' second shirt for the 2025/26 season.
As with this season's away top, it looks like a largely white number, but with more of the club's traditional blue and red colours incorporated at the top.
It's a standard-looking collar with white trim, whilst the sleeves again have that blue and red trim.

Fans were quick to comment their thoughts on the top, with opinions mixed on the quality of the leak.
One supporter said: "The rumours surrounding the kit have begun to circulate, and I find them quite appealing."
Another fan compared it to an effort from yesteryear, said: "Wee bit like the 2008 away shirt?"

However, a more critical fan wrote: "Not a fan, rotten, looks cheap."

Another said: "Oh, I’m not sure about that…"
Perhaps the most striking thing is the manufacturer's logo on the shirt's breast.

The leaked top bears the Umbro logo, with the English designer heavily rumoured to be Gers' new kit provider.
The Ibrox club's deal with current manufacturer Castore is set to run out after this campaign.
A report from Footy Headlines claimed that Gers were looking to replace them with Umbro.
They said: "Rangers have no intention of renewing the [Castore] deal and will choose Umbro as their kit maker for the next period."
Umbro were the producers of Rangers' kits from the mid-1960s to 90s, then bought back in for a period between 2005 and 2013.
That was a whirlwind spell which included the club's run to the Europa League final in 2008 and part of their stay in the lower divisions in the early 2010s.
The leak comes just a few weeks on from rivals Celtic also having a potential away shirt for next season circle on social media.
