FC Rangers football team are sporting a new look next season - thanks to Classic Tiles in Harrowside, Blackpool.

Rangers' Darren Clarke, who is Classic Tiles' assistant manager, asked his boss to sponsor the team.

And owner Julia Eastham was more than happy to oblige.

She said: "Sponsoring the team is our way of putting something back into the community.

"When Darren asked me, I immediately thought yes because the youth of today should be encouraged in activities like this.

"It helps keep children off the street and entertained.

"We wish FC Rangers all the best for the future, especially the next season."

Darren added: "The new strip is absolutely brilliant.

"We didn't have a sponsor last season so it was exciting to get the new strip."
