RANGERS have struck a business deal with former Ibrox heroes Kris Boyd and Arthur Numan to become their official legends events partners.
Boyd and Numan are directors of 5 Stars Limited and have now agreed a collaboration with the Gers that will give fans a chance to meet Light Blues legends at exclusive functions.
A unique gin range will also be launched as the likes of Numan, Jorg Albertz, Lorenzo Amoruso and Ian Durrant put their name to bottles.
And nine-in-a-row hero Brian Laudrup is also set to join the line-up to feature in events and experiences in the coming months.
Boyd said: “Arthur and I enjoyed success on the field during our time at Rangers. Since hanging up our boots, we have got together and formed a business, 5 Stars.
"We are delighted that in close collaboration with Rangers, we'll be doing some exciting new things off the field, including events and the launch of a Legends Gin.
"The events will feature other Legends to create a range of official dinner and Q&A engagements that will allow fans to hear about our careers first-hand.
"Rangers Legends gin has also been developed and Arthur and I were delighted to get some of our former team-mates and fans' favourites on board to be a part of this exciting new venture with the club. We expect the range of flavours and designs to be hugely popular.
"Working with 5 Stars, I am pleased that the club are now actively pursuing links and building relationships with former players, as we look forward together to the club’s 150th anniversary year."
The partnership with 5 Stars allows Rangers greater access to the legends market and a series of Q&A dinners and meet-and-greet events are already in the pipeline.
There will also be benefits for MyGers members and Commercial and Marketing Director James Bisgrove said: “We are looking forward to working with Kris, Arthur and the 5 Stars team on a wide range of Rangers Legends activities and pursuing commercial ventures together."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
