Celtic will travel to Fir Park for the second time in three weeks to take on Motherwell with the game being snubbed by Sky Sports.

The Scottish champions extended their lead at the top of the SPFL Premiership after a thrilling 4-2 victory over Dundee United at the weekend with rivals Rangers losing away to St Johnstone.

Wednesday evening’s fixture will only be accessible to Celtic fans if they are willing to stump up £15 to watch the match.

The new Sky deal which was agreed at the end of September means that clubs can stream up to five games per season with some clubs having already rescheduled their fixtures to promote PPV matches.

It was a welcome addition that clubs could do this, but amongst a cost of living crisis it is yet another expense for football fans in order to watch their team.

At present this season, to have watched Celtic compete in every competitive competition you would of had to have had a subscription to Sky Sports, BT Sports and Premier Sports.

With two games to go before domestic football action is paused for the World Cup, it is hoped that the reigning Scottish champions can extended their lead at the top of the table even further. On their last visit to Fir Park, Ange Postecoglou’s side thrashed the Steelmen 4-0 to book a place in the semi-final of the League Cup.
