A number of football clubs, including Celtic and Rangers have gambling firms as main sponsors.
The analysis by researchers at Glasgow University and Sheffield University found that gambling ads are also having an impact on the behaviour of children and adolescents.
On children and young people, it found “higher exposure to advertising is associated with higher gambling rates and severity". “The gambling industry spends £1.5bn a year on marketing - infecting our screens, our sports and our streets with a misleading representation of addictive gambling products. The UK Government is expected to publish its review of the 2005 Gambling Act within weeks, with measures to restrict advertising expected to be included.
