Tennent Sixes

Celtic Tournaments - Tennent Sixes


Tennant 6's team from 1984 The Tennents' Sixes was an annual indoor football tournament contested each January by Scottish senior football clubs - usually from the (then) Premier Division, but occasionally with guest participants from the lower divisions of the Scottish Football League - between 1984 and 1993. The tournament was sponsored by Tennent Caledonian Breweries and organised by the SFA. When Tennent Caledonian Breweries withdrew their sponsorship after the 1993 event, the Sixes was discontinued.

The format used was dependent on the number of teams participating: in most cases 10 teams were involved and would be drawn into 2 groups of 5 who would play each other once. From there, the first and second-placed teams from each group would contest the knockout stages, comprised of two semi-finals and a final. The inaugural tournament was contested at Coasters Arena in Falkirk in 1984. The following year it took place at Ingliston Showground near Edinburgh, and all subsequent tournaments were played at the SECC in Glasgow
No individual team dominated the event over its history with Aberdeen, Heart of Midlothian and Rangers all winning the tournament 2 times each. Motherwell were beaten finalists on 4 occasions.
