Scottish FA announces new partnership with FanHub
Engagement with the free app will give supporters the chance to win money-can't-buy behind-the-scenes access inside national team camps and Hampden Park.
Signed strips, sought-after tickets, legend tours and a whole lot more. It's all up for grabs.
Supporters can use the FanHub app to predict the starting XI, check in at matches and record matchday memories.
Brendan Napier, Scottish Football Marketing's Commercial Director, said: 'We have the most committed, colourful and passionate supporters in the game.
'You only have to look back to the scenes in Germany last summer, which drew admiration from across the football landscape. They are a constant source of pride, never to be taken for granted.
'We are constantly looking for ways to reward supporters for that unwavering loyalty and add value to their experience where we can.
'That's why we are so thrilled to welcome FanHub as the Official Fan Loyalty Partner of the Scotland National Teams.
'They are enthused and driven by supporter engagement and, in turn, will unlock money-can't-buy incentives and prizes for subscribers.
'This is an exciting link-up for us and we look forward to working with the FanHub team to build out our offering to Scotland supporters. Recognising and celebrating their dedication ahead of what promises to be an exciting year.'
Gareth Lippiatt, Co-Founder and Chief Executive at FanHub, added: 'Scottish football has something genuinely special. You often hear people say that modern football has lost its soul – but those people haven't been to Hampden on a matchday.
'It's the passion of the fans that first attracted us to this opportunity, and having met so many brilliant people along the way, we're incredibly excited to be part of it.
'We're fans ourselves, so to partner with the Scotland National Team and your iconic fanbase is a surreal moment and a huge privilege.'

Russell Martin reveals John Beaton apologised for Rangers handball decision and Ibrox boss met it with sorry of his own
Martin said it was all amicable between himself and the whistler despite being sent to the stand Russell Martin apologised to John Beaton after being sent off in the friendly draw with Middlesbrough - but insists he's no fears over a touchline ban ahead of the Premiership kick-off. Rangers warmed up for Wednesday's Champions League crunch with Panathinaikos by fighting back for a 2-2 draw with the Championship side. But the match was overshadowed by the new boss being ordered to the stands by Beaton for taking his protests over the non-award of a spot kick too far. Martin admits he overstepped the mark as he was forced to watch his side's second half fight back to draw 2-2 from the stands and revealed Beaton also apologised to him over the incident that saw Luke Ayling escape a handball in his own box. The Ibrox boss admits he'll need to get used to how Scottish football works to avoid any more run-ins with officials. But Martin - who admitted he faces a couple of big selection of headaches ahead of Wednesday night - insists he is not sweating over a ban. He said: 'Me, after that? No, I don't think so, no. I'd be surprised. 'We shook hands and had a chat after and they accepted my apology and he apologised about the decision as well. So, yeah, hopefully it's all just done and dusted. 'It's probably just frustration at a bit of the performance as well in the first half, because I can always accept if the intensity is there, the courage is there, and we're not quite there tactically, we need to fix a few things. But I didn't like the energy or the body language of too many on the pitch in the first 20, 25 minutes. 'Then I think we should have had a penalty. 'We should have had a fourth official, who would definitely help the officials. And then I'm a passionate guy and I probably overstepped the mark. And then I enjoyed watching the game in the stand the second half. It was a good view! 'I hope not to spend too long up there. But no, seriously, I went and apologised to the official and I need to get used to how it works up here compared to down the road as well. 'I've apologised and hopefully we can we can all move on. I got a good view of the game and he got peace and quiet for 45 minutes.' Summer signing Thelo Aasgaard again sat out as he nurses a niggle while Hamza Igamane was also missing from the match day squad after picking up a knock in Tuesday's 2-0 first leg victory over the Greeks. And Martin said: 'I think we're always open to surprise and change, but we have a couple of big decisions to make on Wednesday. It will depend on the fitness of people as well and how people are. So yeah, we will wait and see. 'Hamza picked up a little injury on Tuesday night. He missed a lot of pre-season, and he's been really trying hard to catch up fitness wise. 'He's got himself to a good place and then the other night, the intensity of the game coming on to that is not easy, but he's not going to be out for a long time. He's a big, strong boy and we hope to have him back on Wednesday night. It would have been madness to risk him today, really. "Thelo's the same as Hamza. We could have rushed both back to try and be involved today, but I think the our eyes are on Wednesday right now. And so with Thelo, he's recovering really well, he's athletically really, really good. But we'll just have to wait and see.' Robin Propper completed his move back to FC Twente hours before the game. And Martin insists others will soon follow as he streamlines his bloated squad in a bid to add further fresh faces. Ridvan Yilmaz has been linked with a move back to Besiktas while Jose Cifuentes, Ben Davies and Rabbi Matondo remain out the picture. Martin said: 'Yeah, I think they have to. Robin goes with everyone's best wishes. So the way he's dealt with being told he's not going to be part of things, training separately from the group with a few others, he's been incredible. "I think we have interest in a fair few of the players, but as and when they go, I don't know. 'Whilst they're here, they'll be treated with care and respect and professionalism. And it might not always be on the terms they want or like, but I think if we're honest with each other and we respect each other and they respect the group, there's not going to be a problem."

Russell Martin addresses his Rangers sending off, Hamza Igamane absence, and what disappointed him

Russell Martin admitted he let his frustration get the better of him after he was sent off during Rangers' 2-2 friendly draw with Middlesbrough at Ibrox. Martin was sent to the stand at half-time after questioning referee John Beaton's decision not to award his team a penalty for a handball by visiting defender Luke Ayling.

'And then I'm a passionate guy and probably overstepped the mark. I enjoyed watching the game in the stand in the second half. It was a good view actually.

Hopefully we can all move on. I got a good view of the game and he got peace and quiet for 45 minutes. I'd be surprised [if he gets a ban].' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Martin admitted his mood had also not been helped by the poverty of his side's first-half performance as a fringe line-up – featuring 11 changes from the midweek win over Panathinaikos – struggled to make their mark. He added: 'The first half was a bit frustrating because we were playing against a good team. But a lot of the moments that were uncomfortable for us were down to a lack of intensity on our part. 'There's a bit of disappointment in a few people who are maybe not in the team. But if you're disappointed you have to show it in being more aggressive, more intense, not being downbeat and just letting the game pass you by a little bit. So, they know that now. That can't happen. There was just a little bit too much in the first half that I didn't really like.'

Inside Rangers owner Andrew Cavenagh's secret Ibrox mission as he bought ticket and sat with normal fans before takeover
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANDREW CAVENAGH made up his mind to secure a controlling investment in Rangers as he brought a regular ticket and sat in the cheap seats in the Copland Stand. Cavenagh, who made his money in the US health insurance sector, secured a 51% stake in tandem with 49ers Enterprises big hitter Paraag Marathe in June. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 4 Chairman Andrew Cavenagh and vice-chair Paarag Marathe at Ibrox Stadium Credit: Willie Vass 4 Fans at Ibrox 4 Andrew Cavenagh Credit: Getty And he was sold on the deal when making a secret mission to the Copland Stand on November 23 - buying a normal ticket to sit amongst the fans after battling through a snowstorm. Former Rangers director Paul Murray, who had met Cavenagh weeks earlier, told the Daily Record: "I think the two things which really struck me about Andrew that day were, first of all he was really engaged and obviously really interested in what I was saying, but also we were playing a game against Hearts at Ibrox a couple of days later on the Sunday. "He actually said to me, 'I think I'll just with all fly up to and he Ibrox and go to the 'I'm game.' "I asked if he wanted me on his chat to try to speak to someone and he said, 'No, I'll just get a ticket and I'll just go.' "As it turned out, for various reasons he wasn't able to go as he had some family stuff on, but he then contacted me about a week later and said he wanted to go to the Dundee United game, which was in the middle of November. "Again, I asked if he wanted me to help and he said, 'No, I'll just go and get a ticket - a normal ticket for any area of the ground.' I think he actually went into the Copland (Road) Stand. "But I thought that was quite interesting. A guy with that wealth and he just thought, 'I'm going to buy a ticket.' "He flew up to Glasgow, bought a ticket on his own. He went with a couple of other guys and you might remember it was a really bizarre game because it was meant to be a three o'clock kick-off on the Saturday and it was really bad weather. "It was the middle of November, but there were snow drifts and crazy weather to the point that Dundee United couldn't get down the A9. Rangers fans unfurl giant tifo ahead of Russell Martin's first match "He actually contacted me to say, 'When does the game start?' "I said, 'I've just looked and apparently it's been delayed until four o'clock!' "So it was a really weird day and Andrew was basically walking about the stadium, looking at the stands and nobody knew who this guy was. "The other thing that happened that day was there were quite a lot of fan protests as well as having the snow drifts to contend with. But it obviously didn't put him off."
