<p>In a High Court hearing in London in late July, Mr Justice Phillips was told a dispute over the terms of the deal had been settled. But lawyers representing the two sides were back at the court on Wednesday after Mr Ashley complained of a breach of contract by Rangers.</p>
<p>Bosses at Rangers dispute the complaint. Mr Justice Phillips heard in July how a deal, which allows a company in the Sports Direct group to sell replica Rangers kits and other branded products, was expiring.</p>
<p>He had been told bosses at Rangers wanted to sign a new deal with a third party, but SDI Retail Services executives objected and said they should have a chance to match any new offer. The judge had been due to analyse evidence about the meaning of a contract clause at a trial.</p>
<p>But lawyers representing both sides told him out-of-court agreements had been made.<br />
The judge said Rangers had accepted claims made by SDI bosses.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/154D6F37-A451-4743-8C28-B221A42C84E6.jpeg"><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/154D6F37-A451-4743-8C28-B221A42C84E6.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="338" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-118940" /></a></p>
<p>He said Rangers and SDI were negotiating another deal, and added: “I would really have thought the time has come to try to make peace.”</p>
<p>The judge was told more than £500,000 (€570,000) had been spent on lawyers, with SDI running up legal costs of £350,000 (€400,000) and Rangers £185,000 (€210,000).</p>
<p>Mr Justice Phillips said Rangers’ bosses should pick up the vast majority of SDI’s legal bills as well as paying their own fees, adding SDI was “entitled to the costs”.</p>
