Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy tour

Over the first few months of the 2010/11 season, Clydesdale Bank customers across Scotland were in for a surprise when they popped into their local branch, as the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy was on display in selected branches. Customers could take their photograph with the trophy, and enter into our prize draw for the chance to win a pair of match tickets for their SPL team, or the chance to have the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy at their school or workplace for the day.

Three winners were picked at random from all entries. Clydesdale Bank Sponsorship Manager Steven Hunt said: “The Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy is a visually unique symbol of the league, and it’s great to be able to allow our customers and fans the chance to see this up close. I hope the winners all enjoy being “champions” for the day.”

Trophy visits HMRC Inverness

The first winner was Valerie Clyne who had entered the prize draw while in the Clydesdale Bank branch on Academy Street in Inverness. She chose to have the trophy at her workplace, the HMRC office in Inverness.

The trophy was displayed in the office for the afternoon with staff able to have their photograph taken with it. Inverness Caledonian Thistle players Eric Odhiambo and Jonny Hayes visited to congratulate Valerie and add some star quality to the photos.

Valerie was really surprised to have won the trophy for the day, she said: “I had totally forgotten about entering the draw when I got the call to say I’d won, I had been in the Clydesdale Bank for something else that day and took part. There has been a real buzz in the office today with people knowing that the trophy was coming. It’s been good to have something a bit different in the office, even the non-football fans were keen to have their photo taken with it, to make their partners jealous!”
