Rangers will debut a new purple third kit in their huge Champions League qualifier against Malmo tonight in order to avoid a kit clash with the Swedish champions.

The Ibrox side had planned to unveil the lilac design later this month but the club claim it has been forced into an early release after being left with no choice but to wear it in their third round qualifying second leg tie.

Rangers have blamed Malmo for the sudden change of plans with a club statement claiming that "due to the limited kit options made available by tonight's opponents, UEFA’s regulations stipulate that Rangers must debut the kit tonight."
