The ‘Regal FC digital platform, launched in 2021, offers fans exclusive behind-the-scenes content from some of the biggest names in football- from players and presenters to DJs and designers.
Scotland, the home of Chivas Regal, also played a role in the creation of the club. Dial Square Football Club was founded in October 1886 by Scotsman David Danskin, who was also the first captain of the side.
Arsenal legend George Graham also hails from Scotland, leading the club to a multitude of honours as both a player and manager.
