SSA24 finalists revealed

The shortlist for The Scottish Sports Awards 2024 has been announced.

Team Scotland and sportscotland are delighted to reveal the finalists for The Scottish Sports Awards 2024.

The Scottish Sports Awards 2024 will bring together the country’s top athletes, clubs, governing bodies, organisations and community heroes to recognise and honour the achievements and contribution to Scottish sport.

It’s been another fantastic year of sport with plenty to celebrate, from Scottish athlete success at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, to schools, clubs, community projects and key people who continue to make a difference to sport in Scotland.

The winners in the Female, Male, Para Female, and Para Male categories will contest for the overall title of Scotland’s Sportsperson of the Year and the evening will also welcome the latest inductees to the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.

The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame was established in 2002 to recognise and honour the many great champions this country has produced. It has delivered on that ambition, enabling us to celebrate the achievements of Scotland’s finest athletes and role models and the impact they have had on subsequent generations.

The Hall of Fame stands as a tribute to the champions of the past. The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame is now incorporated into The Scottish Sports Awards.

Former Scottish footballer and ambassador for women’s football in Scotland, Julie Fleeting MBE and Kingussie shinty star Ronald Ross MBE (the most successful player in the sport’s history) were inducted in 2023. For more details on the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame and the inductees you can visit the Hall of Fame website.

The Scottish Sports Awards 2024 will take place on Wednesday 4 December 2024 at the Glasgow Science Centre & IMAX where a fantastic year of achievement will be honoured on the biggest screen in Scotland. Guests will be treated to a night of celebration, food and drinks as well as rubbing shoulders with the great and the good of Scottish Sport.
