Rangers handed 'SuperLeague' chance

Rangers have been offered the chance to become involved in a new motorsport venture involving leading football clubs from across Europe.

AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray, PSV Eindhoven and Sevilla are among the clubs who have committed to entering cars in the Superleague Formula series which begins later this year.

Top clubs have already unveiled their car designs, and Rangers are interested in signing up for what could be a money-spinning competition.

A club spokesman told the Mail on Sunday: “We have been approached with a view to getting involved and it is under consideration.

“We are exploring the situation and we will take things from there.”

The first race in the series takes place at Donington Park on August 31, with further races scheduled for this year in Germany, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Spain.
