“It is excruciatingly unfair what is happening to Scottish football fans.'
Scottish MPs have told the UK Government it is “excruciatingly unfair” that Scotland football supporters are the only fans unable to watch the men’s international matches free onIn a debate in the House of Commons, the Scottish Affairs Committee asked the government for help in securing a solution that would let fans see matches free on TV, like in England and Wales.
Pete Wishart, Chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee, said they were looking to the Government to support efforts to either have matches on the listed events schedule, where they must be available free, or to reach a deal with broadcasters to allow some or all to be shown free.“There’s a huge encouragement and excitement about international football and the prospects for the Scottish football team.
He told the UK minister for media, it is “not cheap” at £15.99 a month for Viaplay, who own the rights until 2028. He said the Scottish FA was free, like the English Welsh and Northern Irish FAs, to agree a deal with broadcasters for the right to show matches.
