Red card for Will Hill Scottish Cup advertising

Rival betting firms and football club sponsors, Dafabet and 32Red are up in arms as their logos were allegedly edited off players jerseys in Scottish Cup semi-final advertising commissioned by competition sponsor, William Hill.

Advertising for the semi-final William Hill Scottish Cup clash between Celtic and Rangers, who are sponsored by Dafabet and 32Red respectively, was edited to remove the prominent, front of jersey online gaming companies branding on top player images which were used in the official matchday programme.

William Hill has apologised for what it terms an oversight by the advertising designer, saying: “It was an honest mistake,” and won’t happen again.
