Premier Sports have been in and out of Scottish football, grabbing rights to certain Euro qualifiers. However, their Scottish cup tv deal is the most expansive to date. Right now, to make sure you don’t miss a minute of Scottish football action on the TV, you have to be subscribed to BT Sports, Sky Sports and Premier Sports. Not ideal but this will at least go down to two in the summer when BT bow out of the Scottish game.
Celtic take on Clyde in the Scottish Cup fifth round early February and will be hoping to make sure they progress and defend their Scottish cup title.
