With the Scottish Sports Awards 2024 just over a month away, Team Scotland and sportscotland are delighted to announce the University of Edinburgh as category sponsor for this year’s Moment of the Year Award.  

Eight top Scottish sporting moments have been shortlisted, with the winner to be determined by an online public vote.   

VOTE HERE 

From the standout moments of the Olympics and Paralympics to achievements that have created history, Scotland’s sporting stars have thrilled and inspired throughout the year in an impressive array of sports. 

Will it be one of the inspiring moments of Scottish success in Paris, like Gordon Reid winning Paralympics wheelchair tennis gold with Alfie Hewett after silver in both 2016 and 2021, Scott Brash holding his nerve to jump clear for Olympic Team Showjumping gold, Ben Sandilands’ world record breaking run to win Paralympic 1500m gold or the drama of Andy Murray’s stirring doubles comeback at Roland Garros? 

Or perhaps one of the standout moments as Scottish athletes chased titles and glory around the globe: Josh Kerr kicking off a year to remember with World Indoor gold in front of home crowd in Glasgow, Robert MacIntyre’s stunning Scottish Open win, Glasgow Warriors winning BKT United Rugby Championship or Jasmin Paris completing the 100-mile Barkley Marathons for a piece of sporting legend. 

Each of these moments has made Scotland proud, but which deserves to take the title of Sporting Moment of the Year 2024?

Voting will close at 5pm on Monday 4 November with the winner to be revealed at The Scottish Sports Awards on Wednesday 4 December.
