Outstanding sporting achievements from across Scotland were celebrated on 15 December at the Scottish Sports Awards in Glasgow’s Old Fruitmarket. 

The ultimate celebration of sport at all levels saw a dozen winners rewarded, reflecting everything from grassroots sport to high performance achievements on the national and international stage. 

As well as celebrating 2025, the event also looked ahead to what promises to be a momentous sporting year in 2026 – with Glasgow hosting the Commonwealth Games, Scotland’s men’s national football team making their way across the Atlantic to play at the World Cup for the first time in 28 years and Scottish athletes set to compete at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympics. 

Big winners on the night included Glaswegian Andrew Brown, who was named Athlete of the Year after becoming the iQFOiL windsurfing world champion in Denmark in July 2025. He adds his name to the prestigious Lonsdale Trophy alongside past winners such as Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Andy Murray and Dame Katherine Grainger.

His remarkable achievement came despite going head-to-head with competitors from countries where windsurfing has a mainstream profile – and Andrew’s successful year also saw him able to put the disappointment of missing out on the Paris Olympics in 2024 behind him. 

The Young Athlete of the Year award and Sir Peter Heatly Trophy was presented to Oscar Onley, from the Scottish Borders, who confirmed his place in 2025 as one of the world’s top cycling prospects with an incredible fourth place finish at the Tour de France aged just 22. 

The Team of the Year was named as the all-conquering Team Mouat, as they made history by winning all four out of five tournaments in the Grand Slam of curling – the most lucrative circuit in the sport that has traditionally been dominated by Canada. 

Fin Graham was named Para Athlete of the Year after a remarkable 2025, in which he became the first para-athlete in history to win a fourth consecutive C3 road race world title. He has now won no fewer than eight world titles over the past four years.
