The new arrangement, which includes both men’s and women’s teams, continues a nine-year partnership. Over the time, Glasgow-based ICL has helped the world-famous football club reduce its carbon footprint significantly, with a steady supply of new cars for the club’s administration staff and a shift to electric vehicles.

The new arrangement includes continued assistance for the charitable Celtic FC Foundation, with a pledge to support the charity with £10 for every vehicle ICL puts on the road throughout the sponsorship period.

Martin Brown, chair of ICL, said: “We are delighted to be able to announce our continued partnership with Celtic FC and continue to assist it on its journey to a greener motoring future.

“As a company we are fully committed to switching drivers into electric vehicles, and indeed our own fleet went fully electric in 2021. The inclusion of EVs on the Celtic fleet has undoubtedly helped cut its carbon footprint while, at the same time, the charitable side of the club has our full support and aligns with our own company values. We greatly look forward to the continuation of our relationship.”

Tony Hamilton, CEO of Celtic FC Foundation, added: “ICL has been a magnificent help to the foundation for almost a decade now. It’s an organisation and a workforce that share our values.

“There have been many times where they have stepped up to assist at various levels, and on top of that they have made a very significant financial contribution to the work of Celtic FC Foundation in Glasgow and in London. We’re all delighted that this has been extended for another three years.”

ICL is also collaborating with Forbes Tailoring, the official clothing supplier for Celtic FC, to offer four tickets to Celtic’s last game of the season against Aberdeen on Saturday 17 May, while Forbes Tailoring is providing a voucher to the value of £500 for the supply of any clothing from its Glasgow store.
