Reports overnight claimed Celtic were about to make a deal with the production company behind the BT Sports setup from previous years in Scotland.
Celtic have today confirmed they plan to do just that with a ‘significant investment’ being put into the virtual season tickets to give Celtic supporters the best experience possible.
The Celtic season ticket holders will be able to set up and then tune into all Celtic’s home games through the scheme and faces from the BT panel will likely be part of the setup.
Chris Sutton, Micheal Stewart etc will be on hand to debate the games as they’re going on and it will be a significant step up from the usual Celtic TV presentation.
It’s far from ideal with Celtic supporters desperate to get back into the stadium but until then, this will certainly be a plus.
A Celtic spokesperson said: Clearly, current circumstances are totally outwith our control, and while getting our supporters back to Celtic Park is our absolute priority, until this is the case, through our season ticket, we aim to give our fans the best access we can to SPFL matches at Celtic Park.
“We will be making a significant investment in this project, partnering with one of the best production companies around and will deliver an experience, with top expertise and contributors, which will put our fans at the heart of the action from Celtic Park.
“We are joining forces with an organisation renowned for delivering high quality coverage and we look forward to making this available our season ticket holders.”
Grant Philips, Executive Producer of Sunset +Vine added: “We are delighted to partner with Celtic Football Club and look forward to bringing our unrivalled production expertise to the live matchday programming.”
The league is scheduled to kick-off at the start of August but there’s a lot of things that have to go right between now and then.
Celtic players will be tested on Wednesday before they start training in small groups on Thursday.
