A Glasgow-founded insurance brokerage has become the new front-of-shirt sponsor for Celtic FC Women in what is the team’s biggest jersey deal to date.

Octo Insurance Brokers has signed a multi-year partnership with Celtic starting from the 2026/27 season, with its logo set to feature in gold on the team’s shirts.

The sponsorship comes as Celtic continues to invest in the growth of women’s football in Scotland.

Celtic FC Women opened its redeveloped Barrowfield Training Centre in Glasgow’s East End last September.

The dedicated facility for the women’s team and academies includes a full-sized indoor arena, natural and artificial pitches, gym facilities, medical suites and learning areas.

Octo Insurance Brokers has offices in Glasgow and London and specialises in corporate insurance, private client services, building warranties and surety bonds for clients across the UK.



Domenico Davis, director at Octo Insurance Brokers, said: "We’re incredibly proud to stand behind Celtic FC Women as front-of-shirt sponsor and partner.

"At our core, Octo is built on relationships, and this partnership is a natural extension of that, supporting people, communities and the next generation of talent within women’s football, a section of sport that has real momentum.

"Celtic FC Women has consistently helped lead the way in Scotland, from becoming the first club in the country to professionalise women’s football to the opening of the new Barrowfield Training Centre, which gives the players and academies first-class facilities and a dedicated base to work from together."

"That level of ambition deserves support.

"Women’s football is continuing to grow, but growth only happens when clubs and partners commit to it over the long term.

"This is what this partnership represents for us. We’re excited to play a part in the next chapter of Celtic FC Women as the new season begins."

Celtic FC Women head coach Grant Scott said: "We're delighted to have Octo Insurance Brokers on board as a long-term front-of-shirt sponsor.

"For us at Celtic it's more than an investment, it's about the partnership and the opportunities Octo will bring to grow the visibility of the women’s game."
