The Premier League ban will come into place by the end of the 2025-26 season. But the Scottish Professional Football League has stressed to BBC Scotland that “individual sponsorships are a matter for each club”.

“There are no plans for a league-wide proscription of such deals,” it stated.

“For many SPFL clubs, sponsorship from gambling companies is a significant source of income which helps to support their business models and enables investment in many of the important community activities which clubs undertake.”

Three Scottish Premiership clubs currently have front-of-shirt betting partners – Celtic with Dafabet, Rangers with 32Red and Unibet and Dundee United with QuinnCasino.
