The proposed new deal the Guardian report Sky TV and the SPFL are close to agreeing would see a modest uptick of £2m per season to £29.5m.
For that, Sky can broadcast 60 games each year, instead of the current 48 games. Each club would also be able to sell five pay per view (PPV) games.
The analysts I have read is universally hostile. The deal does not compare favourably with similar sized European countries, the average cost per broadcast game drops and there is little account for inflation.
The analysis is also mostly lazy as our misses the point. Scottish football TV audiences are all about two tribes. Viewing figures become noticeable only when they meet.
Oh for an AZ Alkmaar, to bring drama to Celtic games from midtable.
The SPFL sell TV rights in an open and competitive market. It is absurd to bemoan the deal and not recognise the harsh fact that it was better than all others on offer.
It’s all clubs take up their five PPV options, some will be playing to a TV audience of hundreds, perhaps dozens.

Any top Celts id the Bhoy in the picture?
That BBC Sportscene/Sportsound /is nothing more than a Anti Celtic programe ,Look at the ex Bluenoses players and Bluenose supporters that present that programe ,Currie ,Lamont ,Thomson,,Millar ,Creighton,and a few more whom I can’t remember there names,so if you apply for a job there and you say you are a Celtic Supporter then you have no chance ,Same at STV and Sky
I see RTÉ are showing PSV v Sevco next week

This you definitely will not get (I am off in a couple of minutes, so I might not see replies).

Thankfully the old grey matter is still functioning well.

Is this when Ronnie was hit by a missile in 1967 Intercontinental Cup?

Bobby Carroll.
I’ll need to ask the audience……
Bobby Craig
Good night all true Celts – praying for a win tomorrow.

Man United are in dire straits.
0-2 down at Brentford after 20 mins. Defence hopeless.

Excellent. BTW I went to St Pat’s Knock – but that was in the 70’s – long before your time I am sure.
Deffo off now Bhoys and Ghirls.

No worries pal. I remember seeing both Bobbys in my very young days. Bobby Craig had fair hair.
Manure 3 – 0
4 nil
4:0 Brentford- not yet at the 35th minute- I blame the Space Lasers
Brentford 4 up
Is Roy Keane in the studio? HT should be funny if he is.
How much money have Manchester United spent on players in the last few years and how many of these players earn 6 figure sums every week.
Madness
Who would win in a fight between Brendan Rodgers and Erik Ten Hag
Oh no not Brendan Rodgers
Man United are like watching us in Lennons last season but even more fragile at the back. Look like conceding every time Brentford get the ball forward.
No discernible game plan and no midfield.
Vale 0-0 Bolton
Down to 10 men Bolton set out to defend deep in the second half – Vale pressed without being able to break the deadlock
Both sides had chances – with the Bolton keeper making 3 good saves.
Draw about the right result
Man Utd last 6 PL away games:
L, L, L, L, L, L
2 goals scored
17 goals conceded
———–
They’ll be fighting to stay in the league this season.
Squad needed an overhaul after last season but has actually got worse
Another strip that’ll never be worn again
The United support are pathetic too. Team getting humped and one of them taking a picture of Ronaldo while he’s stood still waiting on a throw in. Crappy bedsheet glazer out banner aside, not much ‘passion’ in them.

Apparently a big demo planned next week, which will turn into a mini riot going on previous form.
They also play Liverpool next week, so maybe it’s a ploy to get that match abandoned rather than get scudded 10 nil at home.
Man United quick news will be a joy tonight.
4-0 now, Ten Hag might not last until the transfer window closes, sacrificed at the altar of Ronaldo, it took him exactly one game to bow to media pressure and play him. With every Brentford goal the camera has switched to the other end of the field, to Ronaldo-cam, exasperated with the paucity of talent around him, hands on hips and shaking his head. Gary Neville tells us “it’s on him to turn this game around now” as the whole world of football revolves around this single individual who doesn’t like to run very much.
Why successive Man Utd managers return to the limited players of Fred and Maguire will also forever remain a mystery to me.
