The Scottish professional football club, Rangers FC have announced a partnership extension with the leading scotch whisky distiller, blender and bottler, Douglas Laing and Co.
The club and Douglas Laing have been collaborating since the 2021–22 season, and this agreement will extend the cooperation to the end of the 2024–25 season.
During the arrangement, Rangers and Douglas Laing have developed a slew of commemorative goods, such as bottlings commemorating King Charles III’s Coronation and the spectacular inauguration of Edmiston House earlier this year.
A new line of commemorative goods will also be introduced during the current campaign and into the following season.
Alongside the commemorative items, Douglas Laing has also introduced a new 2023–24 season spirit portfolio, which comprises the official Rangers whisky, vodka, gin, and rum.
Rangers Chief Commercial Officer, Karim Virani, commented, “Rangers are thrilled to be renewing our Official Spirits Partnership with the local, family-owned Douglas Laing and Co. Douglas Laing’s passion for Whisky and Spirits was proudly manifested in the 150th-anniversary collection, and the partnership has continued to grow from strength to strength since 2021. The new 2023/24 season spirit range is also one not to be missed and is sure to provide the perfect gift for loved ones with Christmas approaching. We look forward to extending our partnership as we chart a positive course for Rangers both on and off the pitch in the years ahead.”
