Celebrating Alumni Success: ‘We are Scottish Football’ nominated at Sports Book Awards 2025

City of Glasgow College are proud to celebrate the success of one of our own – acclaimed Photographer and Picture Editor, Campbell Ramage – who has been nominated for Illustrated Book of the Year at the prestigious Sports Book Awards 2025.

Campbell studied photography at one of the College’s legacy institutions and is now the creative eye behind the powerful photography in We Are Scottish Football – a striking book written by Julie McNeill and published by Luath Press. The book captures the heart and humanity of Scottish football through deeply personal stories and emotive portraiture, showcasing players, fans, volunteers and communities from across the country.

Campbell’s images are more than just photographs – they are moments of connection that reveal the soul of Scotland’s national game. His work for We Are Scottish Football has drawn wide acclaim for its intimacy and authenticity, securing its place among the most inspiring sports books of the year. The nomination at the Sports Book Awards – considered the "Oscars" of sports publishing – recognises the exceptional craft and cultural value of the book.

In addition to this recognition, Campbell’s career has been defined by a commitment to telling the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary ways. His recent Maryhill is Wonderful exhibition celebrated the spirit of Glasgow’s Maryhill community with portraits that honour resilience, pride and belonging. The exhibition demonstrated the same photographic empathy and social insight that has now earned him national recognition in the sporting world.

“Campbell's work is a masterclass in visual storytelling,” said Head of Communications, Michael Logan. “He represents what our alumni go on to achieve – using creativity, skill, and a strong social conscience to make a lasting impact.”

From the streets of Glasgow to the pages of a nationally celebrated book, Campbell Ramage is proof that powerful stories can start anywhere.

We’re incredibly proud of Campbell’s nomination and wish him and the team behind We Are Scottish Football every success at the Sports Book Awards 2025, which take place tonight at The Kia Oval in London.
