Alex Scott has appeared on the BBC for the first time since refusing to present Football Focus last weekend in solidarity with Gary Lineker.
Scott was joined by pundits Nedum Onuoha and Martin Keown on BBC One at 11.15am to preview the weekend's action on a shorter 30-minute episode of Football Focus. There was no mention of the previous weekend of chaos on the BBC, with Scott sticking to the script before going into an interview with Burnley manager Vincent Kompany.
Scott was one of Lineker’s colleagues who decided they would not work on the broadcaster’s sports programmes after the corporation made the decision to suspend him. The Match of the Day presenter was taken off air on Friday after he refused to apologise for tweeting criticism of the Government’s bill on illegal migrants.
