Celtic captain Callum McGregor has posed up with an unlikely ambassador for Scottish football - Rylan Clark-Neal.
The former X Factor contestant has become a surprising face of Scottish football as an ambassador for the SPFL's main sponsors cinch. His catchphrase at the end of the car company's adverts 'cinched it' has been adopted as a phrase for moments gone pear-shaped in the game. He has jetted into Scotland for promotional material and took snaps at the Falkirk Stadium.
Alongside the other Premiership captains - not including Rangers' James Tavernier after the Ibrox side were excused last month from the cinch sponsorship deal due to a previous commercial agreement in place with Park’s of Hamilton - Celtic skipper McGregor got photos with Rylan. Content from the day will no doubt arrive soon, with the ambassador signing off from the day with 'cinched it Scotland.'
