Aberdeen’s former chief Keith Wyness has suggested the new front-of-shirt sponsor deal at Rangers is not as impressive as it seems.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Aberdeen between 2000 and 2004, had lengthy spells as the chief of Everton and Aston Villa and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – admitted it is “crucial” for the Gers to increase commercial revenue but urged fans not to “get carried away”.The Glasgow side confirmed on 18 September they have agreed an extension with the Kindred Group for the Unibet brand to continue as the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor beyond this season.Kindred’s Rangers deal is believed to be worth around £1.5million per year – and they could bank up to £3million from the new deal depending on their on-pitch performance.By contrast, Man City’s deal with Etihad Airways is reportedly worth £67.5million per season.
