RANGERS supporters queued for hours for the opening of the eagerly awaited club shop in Glasgow.
The shop in St Enoch’s Square opened for business at 10am with as many as one hundred punters waiting to get in.
And although the club aren't allowed to promote the shop due to the ongoing legal dispute with Mike Ashley, that didn't stop fans turning out in their droves.

"This allows them to get interim relief pending a full ventilation of the facts.
"In the final analysis Sports Direct has consistently failed with its bullying tactics and I anticipate a similar outcome to the present litigation."
