Defender Ali Omar has won the Stags Head Player of the Month award for March.
The 26-year-old, who also helped the Somalia National Team make history by reaching AFCON qualifying for the first time, has made himself a firm fans’ favourite at The Marbill Coaches Stadium since joining the club in January.
Ali turned in a host of all-action showings throughout an unbeaten March – including winning the Sonstrust No Limits Brewing Player of the Match award after a starring role in our 3-0 victory against Spartans.
He received his award from our Associate Director for Commercial Jamie Moses prior to Saturday’s victory against Stirling Albion, with a record 349 people voting in the poll.
Ali is the sixth player to scoop the prize this season; joining teammates Ally Roy, Kai Kirkpatrick, Scott Honeyman, Adam Livingstone and Leighton McIntosh.
Under the new ownership of David Davidson and the Enlightened Hospitality Group, the Stags Head have been hugely supportive of the club already this season including hosting last year’s successful Meet Mario event. They also provided valuable support to the Sons Supporters Bus last season, something which is continuing this season.
Their four-figure investment into the club has seen a new Stags Head double advertising board installed pitch-side, with fan votes for The Stags Head Player of the Month taking place from July to April this season.
David Davidson, Stags Head owner, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Dumbarton FC for season 2025/26 and share in the excitement of the vision of Mario, who was brilliant when he spoke to fans at the Stags in June.
“Anyone who has visited the pub recently will see plenty of black and gold which demonstrates how proud we are to be a pub for Dumbarton fans, in the town, near the stadium. Presenting Player of the Month awards is the perfect opportunity for us to celebrate success at the club and we wish Mario, Frank and everyone at the club all the very best for the season.”
