Ladbrokes sponsorship extended

Betting giant Ladbrokes has extended its sponsorship of Scottish football for another season.

Ladbrokes signed up as the SPFL’s main sponsor in July 2015. The partnership has been extended to run until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Jim Mullen, CEO of Ladbrokes Coral, said: “When we announced our sponsorship in 2015 we made a clear commitment to invest in the very heart of Scottish football.

“We are passionate about the game and our love of football has helped to make the past two seasons hugely rewarding.

“Our customers and colleagues know that Ladbrokes and Scottish football make great partners and we are proud to extend our partnership with the SPFL.”

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “Ladbrokes has been a terrific and supportive lead sponsor for the SPFL over the last two years.

“We are thrilled to extend the partnership for next season, which is another clear message of confidence in Scottish football.”
