Specsavers extends three-year deal with the Scottish Football Association

Specsavers Opticians has extended its sponsorship of Scotland's football referees in a £600,000 three-year deal with the Scottish Football Association.

As well as funding coaching and development of the men and women in black, Specsavers Hearcare has moulded earpieces for officials that will allow them to communicate with each other during the game.

In addition, Specsavers is putting its name alongside the number 23 on ref's shirts as part of the '23rd Man' campaign, which aims to help fans and players recognise officials as an integral part of every game.
