Gavin Newlands says crunch talks with broadcasters were “encouraging” as his campaign to make Scotland men’s football internationals free-to-air steps up.
The Paisley and Renfrewshire North MP revealed earlier this week that he was looking forward to sitting down with telly chiefs to try and secure a deal that would allow everyone to watch Steve Clarke’s in-form team without needing to pay extra for subscriptions.
Newlands pointed to the fact that England fixtures are available to watch for free on Channel 4 while Welsh fans can tune into their side on S4C.
