Celtic AND Ibrox fans have united before today’s Glasgow Derby to give Sky Sports a piece of their mind after it was revealed they were only giving 15 minutes to the build up before today’s crunch semi final.
The broadcaster has come in for some heavy criticism since BT Sport has come on the scene and gave Scottish fans more bang for their buck with a prolonged build up and proper post match analysis.
Today they will only have 15 minutes to build up today’s game and as the tweet says below, half will most likely be ads.
I see @SkySports are giving 15 minutes build up to the game today half or more will be adverts that’s why I prefer @btsport even allowing for Mutton it’s far and away much better coverage than Sky of Scottish Football

Last night, Sky Sports had a 45 minute pre-match show before the Spurs v Man City game. Today, they are managing to offer a mere 15 minutes build-up before Celtic v Rangers game … Quite frankly, it’s not good enough, Sky!

BT Sports continuously promote the Scottish game where Sky treats it as an afterthought.
Sadly on a worldwide scale, the Scottish game is now nowhere. Celtic have a large committed fanbase wherever there is a historic legacy of Irish or Irish Scottish immigration, but its a relatively small number in comparison to the uncommitted numbers who tune in to EPL games. Our support worldwide is still hardcore, based on legacy heritage and culture, for the EPL clubs it’s simply an adopted interest based on hype and marketing
That’s all partly to do with the hype surrounding EPL games,
But I agree BT is better. Far better
Just don’t buy sky. Simple
It’s that simple, if you have sky and you’re unhappy with the situation then cancel the subscription.
FUCM.
BT is better for the celtic games
Quite frankly i couldnae give a toss all i care about the day is smashing the huns into the ground !

BT all the Way.Sky can ram it..
To be fair there’s not much they cam do to build the game up. We’re going to pump them for eternity. 15 minutes is about right therefore.
Worth ever penny I paid to watch the geme. That’s was zero. Thanks to the person who streemed it. Fuc& you pie sports. Yae Robbin B’stards
To be fair, thats the only 15mins the Sevco fans got to enjoy 🙂
