The CMA found JD Sports colluded with Elite Sports on prices and the timing of discounts at the end of the 2018-19 season
At the start of the 2018-19 season, Rangers had become concerned that JD Sports was undercutting Elite, which was the club's online retail partner, on replica tops.An agreement was reached between the parties to increase JD Sports' price from £55 to £60 to match that of Elite. The CMA said it also found that Elite and JD, without involvement from Rangers, fixed the prices of Rangers-branded clothing, including training wear and replica kit, over a longer period.It is understood Rangers was disappointed to find itself subject to the CMA action, having appointed Elite as a partner in part because of its retail expertise.
"Today's decision sends a clear message to football clubs and other businesses that illegal anti-competitive collusion will not be tolerated."
