Fans were given a first glimpse of the alternative strip, which will be available to purchase from Friday morning. Dubbed the ‘Rampant Lion’, it features an unusual pattern with blends of red and dark blue portraying the lion on a dark background.

The Ibrox club have already unveiled both their home and away kits for the 2024/25 campaign, but Sportswear manufacturer Castore’s latest production has led to plenty of backlash. Modelled by Leon Balogun and Oscar Cortes from the men's team and women's team stars Leah Eddie and Kathryn Hill, the is quite a contrast from the home and away kits which feature a more simplistic design.

In promoting the kit, Rangers stated: "Wear our iconic Rampant Lion like never before with the bold Season 24/25 third kit. Featuring a stunning pattern that includes our famous lion on a dramatic dark background. Engineered for optimal performance and breathability. Available from 8.00am on Friday 26 July in-store and online."

However, the kit has been unveiled less than 24 hours after Philippe Clement’s new-look side suffered their third straight friendly defeat of pre-season, going down 2-1 to English League One side Birmingham City in Trevor Francis’ Memorial Match at St Andrew’s.
