Scottish Rugby has inked a multi-year principal partnership with Arnold Clark that incudes front of shirt sponsorship.


The Glasgow-based car retailer also acquires title sponsorship of the Premiership and National League men’s and women’s rugby divisions from the start of the 2024/25 season.

Arnold Clark will replace Peter Vardy on the front of the Scotland men’s national rugby union team’s jerseys, which will be revealed on 2nd August.

The Scottish car dealership group signed a four-year contract to become the front of shirt sponsor for the men’s national team in 2021, but will end their partnership one year early.

The deal will additionally see Arnold Clark supply vehicles to Scottish Rugby employees who work in the community game throughout Scotland.

“As shirt sponsors of the Scotland Men’s rugby team, we’re thrilled to empower their successes as they represent Scotland at the highest level,” said Russell Borrie, CEO of Arnold Clark.

“At Arnold Clark, we invest in people. We upskill our employees, build new careers through apprenticeships, and we work hard to give our customers the best possible experience.

“This partnership is a significant investment for us – in the players, the coaches, and those who support the team. We believe that rugby is more than just a game; it’s a community – and we’re proud to be a part of it.”
