The brewery was subsequently operated by trustees on behalf of Charles Tennent's sons, Archibald and Hugh.

C&C Group of Ireland announced a deal to buy the brewery and the Tennent's brand from AB-InBev on 27 August 2009.

It also agreed to acquire the Scottish and Irish distribution rights to Beck's and Stella Artois as part of the £180 million offer.

The can design is now a plain yellow colour, with the company's trademark large red "T" featuring prominently.

A banner heads the can, reading: "Scotland's favourite beer, only ever brewed at Wellpark Brewery, Glasgow".

Tennent's also previously sponsored the Scotland national football team, replacing supermarket chain Morrisons.

Tennents sponsored Scottish football's "Old Firm" duo, Celtic and Rangers from 2010 until 2013 following their contracts with Carling expired at the end of previous season.
