SecuriGroup provided security and matchday stewards to the first non-policed game in Scottish top flight football history at the Motherwell vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday 15th January 2011 played at Fir Park. This has since been repeated a number of times at Motherwell by SecuriGroup as well as the first international match in Scotland in February at Pittodrie Aberdeen where G4S stewarded Scotland v Estonia, with Scotland won 1-0.
