Gala rugby star Chris Paterson becomes a 'porridge hunk'

13 Jan 2010
Scott's Porage, Scotland's number one porridge, is replacing its traditional stone putter on some two million packs with real life sporting heroes. Instead, the image will feature some of Scotland's top rugby talent - Chris Paterson from Galashiels, Scotland's cap and points record holder, his Edinburgh teammate hooker Ross Ford, from Kelso, and winger Thom Evans, of Glasgow.

The new limited edition packs have been designed to celebrate a partnership between Scott's Porage and Scottish Rugby. The partnership will see Scott's championing the Scotland rugby team on the pitch and providing porridge to fuel the team, the Border Telegraph reported.

Congratulations Mossy, we're proud of you!

Will you be buying Paterson's porridge?
