CELTIC FAN will have to shell out once again for a game which will not be shown on Sky Sports after the international break.
The pivotal Hibs vs Celtic tie, one of the best games the SPFL calendar offers will not be aired by the TV broadcaster and will instead wait until Sunday to show the live game between Celtic’s City rivals and Aberdeen.
It’ll be the third time this season a Celtic game falls beneath the cracks and forces faithful supporters to cough up a one-off fee to watch the tie.
Celtic SLO, JP Taylor was asked about the anomaly, considering in any other year, this game would have made TV.
@SkySports own the broadcasting rights Chris, they therefore have the call on which matches they choose to show

It’s not the first and won’t be the last time Celtic fans are asked to go int their pockets.
Some will argue it’s still cheaper than an away day ticket and the expense of getting to the game etc. It’s a flawed argument when the majority who watch the game would have done so through SKY or BT last season as part of their monthly sub, right now, they’re paying through the roof to sit in their house.
Just a reminder, if you want to follow Celtic this season and happen to be a season ticket holder this is what you need to have.
- Season Ticket pass (Home games)
- BT Sports (Europe)
- Premier Sports (Cup games)
- Sky Sports (League Games)
- PPV (Games Sky Sports Don’t Air)
Are there people still out there without IPTV?
It would be a pretty cold day in hell when i would be paying 30 quid a month to Rupert Murdoch and another 30 quid to whoever is running BT Sport. 720 quid per year. I think not. I pay 40 quid and get all of the above, Premier Sports, Eir Sports and Celtic TV. People can crow all they like about taking funds away from the club by using IPTV, if Celtic gave supporters the opportunity to pay to watch Celtic home matches, then i would be more than happy to do this, the fact that they don’t leaves me with no option but to get an IPTV service. They are off their nut if they think i’m travelling to Glasgow every fortnight from Donegal to watch Celtic.
