Optical Express supports home team

Optical Express  is the new sponsor of Clyde Football Club in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.

The optical chain will have its logo on the new team shirts and it also sponsored last weekend's Optical Express Challenge Cup match against Manchester United.

Optical Express, whose headquarters are based in Cumbernauld, donated a silver trophy, which was presented to Manchester United who beat the Scottish First Division team 5-1 on Saturday July 16.

The company is the first optical multiple to sponsor a mainstream UK football club.

'We are a local firm who in the last 10 years have become known nationwide and we are delighted to become involved with Clyde, Cumbernauld's local team,' said Optical Express' marketing director Ian Campbell.
