“The opportunity for us to associate ourselves with Edinburgh Rugby is a natural extension, further demonstrating our commitment to Scotland”
In August 2008 Aberdeen Asset Management agreed a two-year sponsorship agreement with Edinburgh Rugby Club.
The start of the 2009/10 season saw former assistant coach Rob Moffat step up to the position of Head coach at Murrayfield. After a close fought Heineken Cup campaign, Edinburgh did not manage to make it through to the latter stages of the event but are currently progressing well in the Magners League. The team will be trying to equal or better their finishing position in 2009, when they recorded their highest ever position, finishing 2nd in the Magners League.
Edinburgh Rugby is one of two professional rugby union teams in Scotland competing in the ‘Magners Celtic League’ along with Glasgow Warriors, their oldest rivals.
Edinburgh currently play their home games at Murrayfield Stadium, recently renamed ‘The Castle’. Edinburgh finished 4th in the Magners League last season, their highest finish in recent years. Andy Robinson is head Coach with Scottish Rugby legend Gavin Hastings taking up the role of Chairman.
