Advice will be available on a comprehensive range of products including mortgages and life insurance, investments, annuities and pensions.
The specialist website www.rangersmoney.co.uk offers information on a range of financial products. It also offers a comprehensive range of calculators and tools to help people plan future financial scenarios, or to get an indication of annuity rates. There is also a financial news section and a jargon-busting A to Z of financial terms.
Supporters can contact the advice service by calling 0845 371 1972 or registering online to talk to an independent financial adviser.
The Rangers Money Business Club will give business owners and directors access to information and expert advice on key issues such as the provision of employee benefits, plus updates on relevant industry and regulatory changes.

“AEGON is delighted to be partnering Rangers Football Club in launching this new financial advice service to their supporters.
