RANGERS today snubbed cinch advertising boards during their post match interviews at Livingston.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst appeared in front of a blank board while Livi boss David Martindale conducted his interview in front of the usual advertising boards.
The Premiership champions are in a legal dispute with the SPFL after refusing to use the branding of used car sales firm cinch on their shirts or around Ibrox.
Murdoch MacLennan, the SPFL chairman, labelled Rangers' actions as 'very disappointing' amid fears that cinch could look to rip up the agreement that provides much-needed financial support to Scottish football.
Rangers insist that rule I7 of the SPFL states that member clubs are ‘not obliged to comply with this rule if to do so would result in that club being in breach of a contractual obligation entered into prior to the commercial contract concerned' and have accused the Hampden board of blowing £500,000 of League funds on agency fees to secure the five-year deal.
