The Scottish Sports Awards 2024, hosted by sportscotland and Team Scotland, will take place on Wednesday 4 December, celebrating the success of individuals, schools, clubs, and teams across the whole of Scottish sport.

In another year packed with success for Scottish athletes on the international stage, competition will be fierce for the top awards. The schools, clubs, community projects and people making a difference in sport across Scotland will also be recognised in an event that will celebrate the best of Scottish sport.

Team Scotland and sportscotland are delighted to reveal the finalists for all 13 award categories at the Scottish Sports Awards 2024. Full list of finalists below.

As well as the 13 categories listed, the winners in the Female Athlete, Male Athlete, Para Female Athlete, and Para Male Athlete 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.

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.

Chair of sportscotland, Maureen Campbell, said: “Every year the judging panel have an incredibly difficult job of narrowing down the shortlist of finalists for each award category, and this year was no different. Over the past year we have witnessed the hard work and dedication of athletes, coaches, volunteers and clubs across the country, which makes for an exciting, albeit difficult, job in selecting this year’s finalists.

“The Scottish Sports Awards provide us with a wonderful opportunity to come together to recognise and celebrate both the success and effort of the people who make sport happen. It’s going to be a wonderful celebration of the power of sport.”

Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, Ian Reid CBE, said: “2024 has been another fantastic year for sport in Scotland, with athletes succeeding on the international stage and inspiring those of us watching at home or in the stands.

“There’s also an incredible amount of good work being done day in day out at schools and clubs across the country, and we look forward to celebrating all of those achievements at the Scottish Sports Awards in December.”

This year the awards, will once again be held at the Glasgow Science Centre and IMAX where the winners’ stories will be shared on the biggest screen in Scotland.
