Beer brand Guinness is the official beer partner for the Premier League, and has produced new adverts to celebrate the English top flight‘s return.

The first of the adverts, titled ‘Eriskay’, features a pub football team from the island of Eriskay, who play their matches on a clifftop pitch.

The video features a match being played and interrupted by a number of comical situations, such as a tree stump in the middle of the pitch, horses running across the field of play and the ball flying off the cliff and into the sea.

It was a rare moment of exposure from the club, who took to Facebook to express their excitement about the advert.

They said: “Finally, the worst kept secret of all time!

“Eriskay had the incredible opportunity to feature in Guinness’ new Premier League advertising campaign.

“It will be aired tonight at half time of Man Utd v Fulham. Crazy!”

Meanwhile, Ally McCoist has announced his next venture: releasing a book about his experience following the Scotland national team.

The Rangers legend has gigs doing commentary, punditry and radio presenting, as well as fronting an advertising campaign for Greggs, and has now penned an autobiography titled ‘Dear Scotland’, which is described as a love letter to Scottish football.

McCoist wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “As the Tartan Army say, “No Scotland, No Party”.

“I’m delighted to celebrate my upcoming book, ‘Dear Scotland’ published by @Hodder, out on October 24th & available to pre-order now.”
