Another Ibrox court case came to light today with a claim that they owe a kiosk firm £338,000.
Battles with Elite Sports Group and the Sydney Super Cup organisers are fairly well known while claims for a Wi Fi and Memorial Wall remain unresolved.
Now out of the blue a new claim has emerged, following a familiar pattern of a contract being broken followed by a counter-claim that the Ibrox club were actually the wronged party.
The Sun reports:
RANGERS are locked in a £338,000 legal battle over a kiosk payment system.
The club are being sued by Southbank Asset Finance Ltd at a civil hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The company via two others firms – Sporting Pay and Paytek – allege to be owed the cash for the use of card payment devices throughout Ibrox Stadium.
Rangers are fighting the claims and allege that Sporting Pay also broke a sponsorship agreement.
The club teamed up with Sporting Pay in early 2020 to provide cashless payment equipment throughout its stadium.
Sporting Pay was to provide 216 terminals with software at Ibrox and “maintain it in good working condition throughout the period of their appointment.”
Court papers state it was to cost Rangers around £12,500-a-month.
The club were asked to make payments to Sporting Pay via Southbank’s sister firm PayTek.
It is said they also entered into a sponsorship agreement that Sporting Pay would become the former Scottish Premiership champions “official payments technology suppliers.”
Rangers allege Sporting Pay were to give them sponsorship money first.
This case looks to have fallen under the watch of James Bisgrove who will be promoted to CEO on July 31.

Is that a new World Record at Ibrox ?
Most legal actions outstanding against a football club, ever?
Give them another star for their jerseys! 🙂
Surely this will be against the company ?!
It’s so difficult to keep track of who is signing contracts and who is breaking contracts over there.
Tramps.
This keeps up no one will touch that mob with a bargepole
The daily Record have reported that the Rangers are saying Southbank Asset Finance Ltd have broken a sponsorship deal ,so the tribute act is not liable ! I wonder what the people at Cinch and Glens Vodka are saying about that doozy? You could not mark the neck of the tribute act with an oxy / acetylene blow torch …
