National Australia Bank’s (NAB) UK-based
subsidiary Clydesdale Bank will end its sponsorship of Scottish
football’s Premier League at the close of the 2012-13
season.

Clydesdale Bank took over as title sponsor
of the league from rival Bank of Scotland in 2007.

Steven Reid, retail director of Clydesdale
Bank, said:

“It has been a privilege to support
Scottish football over what will be a six-year period.

“As well as supporting our national sport,
we entered into the sponsorship to raise awareness of our brand and
it is fair to say we will have achieved more than we could have
hoped for.

Clydesdale Bank’s other sponsorship deals
include a three year deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board,
signed in 2010, to sponsor UK’s 40 over cricket
competition.

NAB acquired the 150-branch-strong
Clydesdale Bank in 1987. NAB’s UK network also includes 180
Yorkshire Bank branded outlets and 22 Financial Solution Centres in
the north of England and the Midlands, the latter focused on
business and private banking.
