Rangers fans on Twitter have been left underwhelmed after rumours swept social media claiming Italian brand Macron would make next season’s kits after the shambolic end to the club’s relationship with Hummel.

The rumour appears to have come out of nowhere – likely in response to reports Celtic are set to link up with Adidas – and the early response from Gers fans is far from positive.

Macron manufacturer kits for a surprising number of clubs across Europe and beyond – including eight SPFL clubs – and the addition of Rangers to their stable would be a bit of a coup for them.

Despite the spat with Hummel, this season’s kits were well received by fans although the ongoing litigation with Sports Direct, Elite and Hummel likely won’t help the Gers’ search for a new partner.

The Gers’ deal with Hummel was supposed to run to the end of next season but the Gers confirmed recently they were looking for a new retail and kit partner after raising legal action.

Fans on Twitter were less than enthused at the suggestions it would be Macron making the kit next season – with one saying the club are “lurching from one shambles to the next.”

Here are some of the comments from Rangers fans on Twitter:

Not surprised to hear the name Macron as our potential new kit supplier. I would have loved Adidas as well but why would they or any other big supplier go anywhere near us? It’s not as if any of them need our business. — Zahid Ul-Hassan (@zahid1980) March 4, 2020

It’s like 2 years ago over again when the hummel rumours begin, now these macron rumours have surfaced. I know we have the issues with SD but surely to god a club our size can attract bigger than that. — Dave (@Nimsay1872) March 4, 2020

You'd like to think so mate. If it is macron, it'll go the same way as hummel, they wont be able to keep up with demand — Rangers Memorabilia (@RangersMemorab1) March 4, 2020

No more Hummel branding, hope we actually get a new kit partnership pronto before we leave it too late and we end up with Joma or Macron… https://t.co/0v31H1rpGg — Curtis (@1872Curtis) February 28, 2020
